Â The Bonnaroo site has a few bands that are playing, but none of them look big enough to be headline acts yet, so Tool could easily fit into the bill. Â Given that Tool seem to be joining the festival set this… Read More »Tool to play Bonnaroo?

Hi Everyone, You may have noticed the recent appearance of Google Ads on the site. Â No this is not an early April Fools joke, more an experiment to look at ways to help the site reach a break even point. I will be leaving them on the site for the month of April, and then will evaluate how they’ve gone, and whether or not I’d like to continue with them.… Read More »Google Ads Experiment
