polaroids of androids

POA (version 18)

As you have probably noticed: a) there haven't been too many updates around these parts over the past few weeks and; b) we have given the site a bit of face lift. Actually, it's a little bit more like a liposuction operation as we have been crazily removing code and generally cleaning things up all over the place. It started off as a little trim BUT just like that terrible haircut you are going to be rocking all summer - we just didn't know where to end it.

So here we are. Ending Da 2008 with a few changes to the way this site looks BUT more importantly how it works:

Events (aka 'shows') is more of a weekly planner now. We also recommend shows that think you should go to (if you want to see us and give us a high and/or low five).

One of the main NEW things are featured items - like what you are reading right now. The plan is to keep these rotating every other day with NEW and FRESH 'things'. We found that items we really wanted you to see (ie. an interview with some band called Talons) quickly got pushed down the site with the old layout, falling down underneath shitty news items about shit bands who got added to some shit festival. Less shit? No, more featured items.

New Music now gets it's own column. We like telling you about music that comes into our letterbox and then touches our ears and hearts AND now this little part of the site has it's own little section. Cute.

Better search. You type in 'spod' and instead of getting stuff about 'asspods' etc you NOW get thrown right to SPOD's artist page. Whoa.

The artist directory is now a shit web 2.0 tag cloud thing. Thoughts? We will probably change this. It's a little bit 2006.

As said, the majority of the changes we have made are 'behind the scenes' where words like 'database' and 'synergy' are thrown around like they are going outta style. Hopefully, we haven't ruined your day with these changes and any feedback, love, hate and/or presents (ie. puppies) are more than welcome. Just drop them in the NEW (ie. better working) comments thingo below or in this thread.
