Apart from the disastrous IT fiasco, which was all of my own making, I didn’t mention the sprucing up of songbytoad.com a month or so ago, did I? If I remember, I was so relieved to emerge from my IT catastrophes that I pretty much glossed over the fact that the site is looking mighty, might fine these days.

Why do I mention this? Well not gloating, nor a desperate plea for approval actually, more as an apology for being an ungrateful arse. You see, were it not for the patient and generous assistance of the mysteriously-monickered ml, whose own blog Lambprey, is something of a masterful design exercise, then things wouldn’t be anything like as spruce around here.

As a verbiator I find it difficult to quite grasp how you relate to something with so few words, but then I bet an awful lot of my visitors turn up from the Hype Machine, download the mp3s they came for and fuck right off without reading so much as a sentence, so perhaps it makes more sense than all the chattering I get up to. In any case, as a designer by trade myself, I find ml’s work lovely to look at. The previous version of Lambrey was a gem as well.

Anyhow, big thanks for all the help – I’d never have managed to get Song, by Toad looking anything like this nice without your help.
