 Funny how time flies even when my life sucks. How ironic.

Today I received Isolation Tank's catalog. This could be old news or not (they don't mention a launch date) but they have a whole new website now and it's very nice indeed. The catalog is a huge 176 magazine-size pages with half of it dedicated to industrial, gothic, and experimental, with the other half covering ambient and electronica (ie: the happy stuff). Their site is now here: www.isotank.com

*Irony #2: Just as I was entering this update, I was listening to Real Synthetic Audio (the kick-assiest radio show on earth) and Mr. Todd just complained about "the crappy service...at Isolation Tank". I felt I should mention this after giving them such a shiny happy plug here! To be fair, post your own opinions on their service in our message forum.(Maybe service is only crappy when shipping to Canada? Who knows...)

 Coming soon! We've secured photos from the one-time Skinny Puppy reunion concert in Dresden Germany!

 Did you love that Jesus guy? Heh. Well, we gotta give equal time to the other guy, so here's a really cool site with merchandise of some of your favorite bands, along with comics, games and more. Very cool stuff...

September 9, 2000

 We renovated the Humor section and added a menu to all the weird/gross/funny photos that we've posted on this site.

 Jesus loves you. In fact, he wants to DATE you!

September 6, 2000
