I never thought of asking you about CSS etc etc before when I was struggling to make the page look inline and whathaveyou... perhaps I should've done and saved myself some time!
Looking forward to this site of yours finally in the next day or two

Still... restricted area!
Soooo exciting... well whilst we wait... someone on the MA[C] chatroom calling themselves mushroom said 'move it up' [whatever that meant], I'm sure it was just a crank but had me thinking for a nanosecond...
The countdown continues...

Well your not going to like this EX. But there's a slight delay of one or two more days. The site is basically ready to go except I'm still uploading my live recording onto megaupload. My upload speed is a real dog at the minute...something like 20kbps... I've been uploading to megaupload for nearly 3 weeks straight. Its times like these i wish I didn't live in rural Ireland with no high speed cable/fiber-optic access. A tentative Tues/Wed date but hang in there. I believe it will be worth the wait. I believe when I started this site, it would be ready by the end of the summer. then that became before xmas. Now finally it will be the end of Feb the following year after I started. Exhausting... But at least I know how MA feels when going past deadlines into oblivion.

... the next Massive Attack album I'm expecting about May 09! Why so late ? I though they have more or less 12 tracks ready... They've probably got even more than that, doesn't necessarily mean anything really... If the album is out in supermarkets by September 2008 I shall hail it a miracle and eat my cap but hey - anythings possible! From what i've surmised and MA's track record the current official ETA is virtually inconceivable to me. For one thing, EMI will want to put a 4-5 month lead time on release. Not even sure they've found the guest vocalists yet. Or the songs. Then there's the distraction of Meltdown. Then there's the need to get back in with G and his material. Nah 09 is a lot more likely, if you follow the mathematical rule that each MA album took one year longer than the last to emerge it takes you neatly to that date. Guess we'll eventually see whether my speculation is shrewd or a load of pants!

Oh I do think they'll preview new stuff they're working on... [if they don't play something new I'll probably just walk out after the 8th Mezzanine track...] thats not the same as meaning the records gonna be out a few months later. Allowing for EMI's 4-5 month lead time the record would be need to be mastered by the end of April!!??!!
Think of 1997 and Risingson... the tour dates that followed and the album coming out the following April... I think we're looking at a similar story here but maybe no single this time... the inspiration to make the record may well come after Meltdown following the collaborations that flow from that...
Yes sorry Richo...
