May 10, mikemonday.com v2 is here!

Mon, 10 May 2010 13:21:05 GMT

After weeks and weeks of sleepless nights scratching my head whilst working out how to code HTML and CSS, I've finally finished mikemonday.com v2. The first version of this site was based on HTML tables which were a complete nightmare, (and looked horrible) so it was back to the drawing board when I started with CSS. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, and can now get on with writing the music and words and stuff and nonsense to put on it. I hope it works well for you.

Feb 2, Justin Martin's Remix of Grace featured on As Heard (From Mars)

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:05:53 GMT

Despite the slightly odd (but not unwelcome) idea that I'm "essentially considered to be an atmospheric/dubstep artist", its great that AH(FM) recognises how wonderful Justin's remix is.

While I think that "Remixes Without Words" is very strong as a whole, my personal favourite of the bunch is Justin's remix. And I'm including my remix of "Stargirl" in that assessment.
