Downer
Downer, signed with RoadRunner Records, has decided to call it quits and apparently things could have gone a lot better. For quotes like "Roadrunner is a bunch of cocksuckers" and "don't even let them wipe your ass, they'll fuck that up to," read an interview with frontman John here.
Site Update
Advertising
Yesterday I put up some new advertising, and shortly afterward I got some reports of pop-up ads. There should NOT be any pop-ups, pop-unders or any annoying crap like that. If you are still getting pop-ups or just find a particular ad annoying, let us know. A couple annoying, stupid ads are certainly not worth losing readers over! I'll do my best to keep the annoying ones off of this site (ads, not readers ;-).
