It seems as if the problem with the last few years is that there wasn't enough content.

Mistakes, Regrets, etc

"All Regrets"
I wish I was better-looking

And girls would look my way

I wish I was funnier than everyone else

And could brighten up your day

I wish I knew a little bit more

About the life we have to lead

I wish was loads stronger

And didn't always have to concede

I wish I was richer

Because money is all I need

I wish I had more faith in me

I just wanna believe

I wish life had dealt me a better deal

And things weren't always so hard

Everything I do, Every word I say,

All of it, in someway marred

I wish I had a girlfriend

To make me feel complete

And to walk hand in hand with her

And leave this lonely street

I wish I could play acoustic guitar

And write a beautiful song

Have other blokes jealous of me

I wish I really could belong

I wish I didn't have to write poems

To tell my innermost fears

I wish every argument I always have

Wouldn't end in tears.

  not sure why but I used to always read the front page content then and it reminds me of happy times for some reason, probably cos I was only 19 and more naive

Think I started using it circa 2004.

I can remember buying a Love Ends Disaster! EP on the strength of a review alone. It was quite good.

  I bought the Hookworms album off the back of the 10/10 review. Ah well.

If I clicked through to a site that looked like September 25th 2001, nowadays,

I'd immediately click away and check that noscript was on becasue it looks like one of those spammy malware sites

I'm actually old enough to remember some of the really old users in that forum thread from 2003 linked.

Dr Furry was really cool and of course well indie because he was Canadian.

SarcasticFringehead | 18 Apr '13, 23:46 | X
wow memories going back to 2001

(2000 isn't working) I'm glad I didn't start reading the boards until like 2005/6 or that really would have been a lost youth.

Is it just me cos I'm old now, but when I look at the old front pages I see loads of articles etc I'd read even if I wasn't a fan of the band I'd prob read it to check it out.

Nowadays on the front page I barely recognise the names let alone bother to read much. Is this cos I'm old and out of touch or has there been a shift in the kind of bands covered (and not just by DiS but in the wider music journlism sphere).

NickDS | 19 Apr '13, 00:37 | X
- Dunno mate, I don't even like music. I'm just here for the poon.

Ah, the classic 2003 logo, not sure if I remember using the site before that but I was definitely reading by then...

...Which is now ten years ago. Damn.
