The rumours have been confirmed...Gene are calling it quits. :-( I'm so sad to see 'em go, but glad that I caught them live at least once, a couple of years ago at Lee's Palace in Toronto. ..."Martin Rossiter has confirmed that Gene's upcoming live show at the London Astoria will be their last, following over 10 years of writing and performing alongside Steve Mason, Kevin Miles and Matt James. No more live shows, and no more new material." ...[News from the You'll Never Walk Again Yahoo! Group.]

There are some surprisingly good indie/alternative mp3 downloads at Abercrombie & Fitch. Who'd have thought? [from Soviet Panda]

I'm so there... Well, at least I hope so.
