Big Changes (Well, Big for Us, At Least) [8/16/2006 09:41:00 PM]:

If you've been to our little site before, you may notice a few new or different things lurking around here...

First off, we now have a veritable ton of new stuff online for the month of August, including interviews with indie hip-hop duo Soul Position, local H-town popsters Savoy Special, and indie-rock heroes Don Caballero(!). On top of that, we've also got a review of the few-months-back Sonic Youth show here in Houston, and a dozen-plus reviews, of everybody from Sufjan Stevens to Mika Miko to Scanners to Kill Hannah. Oh, and we've got a new batch of Subliminals hiding up there at the top of the homepage, for those who like that sort of thing.

Beyond that, though, we've made some structural changes to the Space City Rock site. Over on the right side of the homepage, you may notice a couple of big long banner-looking things, courtesy of Google Ads. Call us sellouts if you will, but dammit, this thing doesn't magically pay for itself -- we've got to have ads to pay the bills. And besides, they're purty.

The observant may note, as well, that our Guestbook ain't what it used to be. While we appreciate the kind comments folks have sent us over the years -- and hey, feel free to contact us if you feel like it -- in recent months our Guestbook has been nothing but a magnet for spam, and we've had to kill it dead.

Plus, the new "Guestbook" page streamlines our mailing list process a bit; if you want on the mailing list, just put in your e-mail address and click on the "Join Now" button. You can also sign up down below the shows list on the homepage, if you can't be bothered to click the Guestbook link.

Last -- although far from least -- SCR readers can now visit our Space City Rock Gear store. Yes, you can now sport your very own SCR-tagged t-shirts, coffee mugs, and stickers, and support our happy little e-zine at the same time. We've got a few different designs up there right now, and more are on the way, so check back soon...
