I tell you one thing: it's just as well we shelved the idea of the League Table! Would have made very boring reading in recent months.
Well, the slight groundswell has, er, ground to something of a halt. Very little happening in Journal Land, but what there is I will regale you with if you look below...
Ki's getting to be top dog these days, and rightly so. He's putting a lot of work into
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nal-music.html, with this week another song stuck in his head, a further album from his favourite 15 and a debate on whether or not Nirvana are worth the hype? You're the man down in the engine room, Ki! And speaking of Engine, no real updates this week but I'm sure we'll hear from him very soon. Looking forward to it.
And where Ki goes can his
lady(islingering) be far behind? Jogging her
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ic-memory.html this week is Roxy Music, on whom she's doing a special. Do I expect Lou Reed next week, given the tragic news?
Look out! Look out! There's a thief about!
Powerstars is so lazy that he's decided to rip off some of my ideas for
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...sicalness.html. Well, we'll just see what these high-priced high-powered lawyers have to say about that, won't we? See you in court!
And speaking of me, as I never stop doing, Metal Month begins to draw to a close this week. It will actually carry well into next week, as it runs to the end of October, which is Thursday. But we're on the way out of the dark wonderfully noisy tunnel that is Heavy Metal, soon to emerge, blinking, into the sunlight of mainstream rock. Until then, you can console yourselves with reviews of albums by Anthrax, Motorhead, Korn, Slipknot, Amon Amarth, Metallica and more, as well as the last few letters in Trollheart's ABC of Heavy Metal. Oh, and one last chance to fall into the Meat Grinder! It's all happening at

And that's not all. Well, it sort of is. But nevertheless, I've managed to get the next three episodes of Babylon 5 into
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-emporium.html, as well as signposting yet another new series due to start.
And who else but
Unknown Soldier would we expect to play us out?
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-history.html brings you two great albums from Scorpions and Thin Lizzy. How can you resist? Man.
And that once again is it for another weekly update. Gettin' a little predictable in terms of contributors, boys and ghouls (getting in early for Halloween, y'see?)! Anyone else feel like getting out their keyboard and ramming headphones on, giving us an update? Or maybe you think you can do it better, and want to start your own journal? New members are always welcome here, and there will be cake and biscuits at your house warming party, so why not join up?
(Note: There will be neither cake nor biscuits at the housewarming party. Nor will there be a housewarming party.)
Till next week then,
Toodles!
