The Great NetXperiment!

– Shawn Telford

“Do we dance or do we riot?” is the question that seems to drive the new album from Seattle’s Ms. Led. At the center of the band is Lesli Wood, a spunky singer with a keen ability to howl, growl or snarl — and just as easily lure listeners to the bedroom, occasionally in the same song.

Yes i am back.

Had some pretty intense family issues that I won’t go into here, but they were completely and utterly unexpected. They were also so important that I dropped everything to concentrate on them.

So news.

I have been promoted at work both in my job role and through a couple of newsletter articles. Several people are now running some events to raise some moeny and I am feeling more positive about kicking this all off again.

For those people in Sydney Australia there is a MS drug trial (oral!) looking for candidates. I will post details as soon as my ISP starts behaving again.
