Many profuse, abject and sincere apologies - it's been more than a year since I last posted, I have no excuses other than indolence!

But I've been following the very excellent Dalston Oxfam Shop, which also blogs old giveaway tapes and the like, and have been inspired to pull my finger out and share some more covermount cassettes, *in the very near future*...

Onwards and upwards!

Just a quick mention of all the tweaking and improvements we've been
putting into the suite of internetz funnin' known as The Coolest Thing Ever...

As well as putting together podcasts and wasting time on a bulleting board, the good burghers of TCTE have now cobbled together a 5 elementz empire - CoolestEverLand - comprising of:

>> CoolestBlog :: a blog full of totally nagasaki stuff, plus our improved podcast feed!

>> CoolestForum :: still the best bulleting in town!

>> CoolestGallery :: 101% arts, crafts and f'tography aceness!

>> CoolestRadio :: our latest, greatest & sometimes satanist radio shows!

>> CoolestWiki :: a font of fonzification, the world of cool explained!

And besides the 5 elementz...

>> CoolestMySpace :: for the spazztastic joys of friend thieving!

So, feel feel to swing by, either via any of the direct links above, or through the front door:

TheCoolestThingEver
