The Mick
As an old punk (nearly goth) I still enjoy the newer exponents of these genres – passion of these newer bands (and the old ones) is still there.
My favourite online magazine is THE MICK. Issue 44 is available so have a look at the zine’s MySpace for details. You can also read the journal of the journalist Mick Mercer on his website
Surfing the Internet is a bit like picking up a hitchhiker blindfolded, you never know who you might pick up, an old man, a young girl, a murderer, a celebrity crash victim or your mother, you do however learn about the new acquaintance after you have a conversation with them and learnt more about them. This is a risky business but it makes life more interesting.
It looks like ‘Where Is My Jesus’ is going to be released in Germany! This track is from a forth coming project recorded at ‘Morgue Studio’, This Window have gone back to their roots in Gothic, Post-Punk music.

Review: “As the stony voice and slithering guitar move deliciously over the stark beat and disdainful bass ‘Where Is My Jesus’ creeps about imperiously and carries a chorus like a sodden flag. You’ll be hooked into its quicksand embrace quickly enough…”
On this Track:

Marni De Much - Percussion
Peter Bright - Guitar
Bootleg
Disc: £5.25
This disc is a record of the live gigs that Finish The Story did between 1981 and 1983. These tracks are the only known live recordings ever made (as far as we know). The quality is not brilliant but the performances are. The first two tracks have only recently been discovered - does anybody know where the recording originates from? The Exeter gig is the audio from a VHS video of the gig. This is worth getting as it is a rare glimpse into the mythology that was the early Finish The Story.

There is a lot of mythology out there about how to make a good web site. The truth is that if you have a product, idea, service that is good, then the content of your pages have to be as equally good (if not better).

Optimise your site
Are you having problems being seen by the major search engines? - Do you type in your name and not even appear on page three? The simple reason for this might be that they don’t know you even exist.
The most efficient way (we have found) to get noticed is to place a simple xml sitemap onto your site and then physically submit the page(s) to the major players. (You have to make sure you do this correctly otherwise you might compound your problem!)
We can do this for £2.50
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it “ranks”, the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of searches, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As a marketing strategy for increasing a site’s relevance, SEO considers how search algorithms work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site’s coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that tend to harm search engine user experience. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques and may remove them from their indices.
The initialism “SEO” can also refer to “search engine optimizers”, terms adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term “search engine friendly” may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, URLs, and shopping carts that are easy to optimize.
