In the modern day and age everything in indie music has changed. No longer do bands seem to have to trawl through waves of gigs, supporting people they don’t like in venues they’ve never heard of. Every indie stormtrooper seems to think that all they need now is a digital 8 track (DIGITAL - when [...]
In some of my spare time I am a bit of a noisemonger. I know I’m getting old but rattling the hell out of a guitar induces a state of zen like calm in me.
I’ve always had a strange love of anything a little bit strange sounding - hence my love of flying saucer attack [...]
I was just reading some of the other blogs on Equatorlive and saw that none of us really talked about what we do here at Equator. So I thought I’d do some stuff on what us Search Engine Optimisers are upto here at Equator.
If you’ve not heard of Search Engine Optimisation, or are scared by [...]

For a while I’ve been listening to the podcasts over at Not Quite Rocket Science - what a fantastic name for a blog.
