DRIFTING FALLING RECORDINGS

Vacant Passages, Vol 1 presale imminent

Jon — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:24:31 +0000

Remember me saying something about a split EP series? You may have to dig deep here, it was quite a while ago. Well unfortunately one of the things that got pushed aside when we made our transatlantic move last Summer was the Vacant Passages series. Well, times they are a-changin’ and while nobody that knows me would accuse me of being anything short of frantically busy… When it’s time, it’s time. Preorder for VP01 should be in the store within the next few days. Well, keep your nose to the ground and your ear to the grindstone.

I had to update Wordpress tonight, the previous version was driving me mad (re-writing my html code and what not). It’s around 1:30am as I write this post and quite frankly I don’t have anymore gas left in the tank. So there are a few things that are not quite right stylewise. I’ll hopefully get those sorted out soon enough, but in the meantime all the functionality should be there. Thank you and goodnight.

Update:
Just noticed the audio players aren’t working. Sorry. I’ll look into this after I get some sleep.
