    The controversial "$" article is now online!

    That's a pretty good rant. I think you could strengthen that by showing more specific information similar to your CD cost article you did a while ago. Like what sort of limits a label places on a band? How does a band get out of a contract? How much control can a debut band really get over it's...

    hehe...Dragonforce...

    After your review, I had to subject myself to it just to see. Do you remember those boomboxes from the '80s with the dual decks so you could dub tapes at twice normal speed? That's exactly what Dragonforce sounded like...but not as musical. Thanks again for what you do, Jim. Even when I don't...

    My ProgPower Haul and preliminary thoughts

    Geez, my wallet got off easy then. I only bought 15 CDs. Of course, I had to buy airfare first for the opportunity to bleed my bank account.

    ?'s for Jim

    I'm a bit new to scene compared to many. I'm 33yo and grew up on the radio hard rock of my times. My favorite song in elemetary school was Kansas Carry on Wayward Son (when it was released!) so that was probably a good sign of my future. ) I gave up on radio and buying CDs in the early 90's...

    Issue 38 Feedback

    Just registered but have been lurking for a while. I've been subscribing since PP2. Lots of good stuff in each issue. Don't sweat the timing of mailing them out. I'd rather you fill them with worthwhile text than fluff just to meet some arbitrary schedule. New format is cooler than the...
