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

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

  • 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.

  • 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).
