Thanks Will. I really appreciate the comments. Yes, I can definitely see where you are coming from re Rush, an interesting and great observation.

Video of the Week on the frontpage also updated - Merry Hell's Come On England.
Hi Steve. Only hearing the new PT album in drips and drabs, I cannot render an opinion myself, but this type of sincere forthright review is always welcome. If nothing else, it demonstrates that this is not from a Wilson fanboy and that your opinion is totally unbiased. That you mentioned your high regard for Hand. Cannot. Erase. cleverly points that out as well. A very enjoyable review, and a good resource for me when I get a chance to listen to the entire album in future. Cheers.

Cheers Steve. Really appreciate that mate.

Waiting eagerly for your views on the new PT album, Steve. Strangely, I've not heard it yet. Embarrassed

You're going to have to start taking on a team of staff before long, maybe even rent some office space above a green grocers in Llandeilo? LOL

LOL A table reserved in the couch at The Mansel would be preferable!

Hey Steve. I finally got to see/visit your site. The upper banner, or whatever that is called, is incredibly elegant. Loved, loved, and loved the tone of the blue. One of the finest I've ever seen. The site overall looks very fine too. But most importantly, I'm very interested in your writings there. Read only a review yet, but will do a lot more in the future. It will be pure delight, I'm sure. Kudos already! Clap

Why, thank you, Ozgur - really kind.

Good grief Steve, you can tell you've had a few days off work! I'll try and take a look this week.

I have to say that going back to work since I created the site is even more difficult. I have a very selfish interest in Boris remaining as PM until the end of the year in that I hope and pray for the beloved brown envelope coming through the door! LOL
