Water under the bridge now (in a good way) I suppose!
But I mean I'm not a big fan of moaning about how the scene is compared to the old days, because that is all subjective. What to you is a golden era of something, might mean something totally different to someone else. Quality music still exists, and in abundance, you just have to spend longer to find it that's all!
BTW check Nathan out, with the mouse and all that, lool, who does that!
