Blimey, where has the last decade gone? 2000 and 2001 saw LPs come bursting onto the scene with such classics (and this site’s namesake) Shinobi Vs Dragonninja, and now we have this to look forward to on 4th January 2010:

Gone are the 20something baggy jean wearing wicky wicky wack boys of the beginning of the naughties,

Several hundred gigs (I think I attended a mere 40 or so of those), a few orbits of the earth, 3 drummers, a few label switches, many arguments, many hugs, now we have slick prophets, grown up prophets, prophets that have their own baby prophets,

Ok, maybe not that grown up.

Here’s to another 10 years!

Check it!
