Gone fishing...and maybe sinking to the bottom of the lake.


For the foreseeable future, and likely beyond, let's assume that this blog space shall be dormant with no new posts forthcoming. Links will be active until the server they are on determines that they aren't. So, things that are gone, are gone, but the blog itself will stay here where we are leaving it. Until somebody decides they don't want to pay to host it. Which could be whenever.

Thanks to all who contributed.

Cheers to the founder Jeremy, aka Ipecac. I kept it going in his memory as long as I could, but ultimately...well...you know.

Thanks to all who who took the time to read what was posted.

- Gray

  5. Love's labours lost. To Ipecac and you, thanks for all the wonderful music and interesting insights. The world will be a dimmer place without you. As another commenter said, "The end of an era." and indeed it is.

    Happy Trails

  22. You guys were/are unsung heroes. As someone else said, I can't emphasize enough how good, insightful, and earnest really, the writing style was, and it is something I'll miss as much as the music. Thanks for being such an inspiration, and all the best, Gray! RIP Ipecac.
