New RSS system and Feeds

For a long time we've been running separate instances of Blosxom to handle
our two categories of News, as well as our Reviews and Commentary to do with
books, classical music, pop/dance/etc music, games, and podcasts. Blosxom has
served us very well but always had some problems playing well on a PHP site ...
integration proved difficult.

So now we've installed a Wordpress system which offers quite a few advantages.
First of all, all the categories can be easily browsed within one page plus it's
very easy to add something new or disappear something.

Hopefully, you'll like it! Here is the page ... http://mstation.org/rev-com

The feeds can be subscribed to by mousing over the categories on the right
hand side of the page. The new feeds are as follows:

everything! http://mstation.org/rev-com/?feed=rss2
books http://mstation.org/rev-com?feed=rss2&cat=6
classical music  http://mstation.org/rev-com?feed=rss2&cat=3

uncategorized http://mstation.org/rev-com?feed=rss2&cat=1

We will keep the present feeds running until perhaps the end of April,
so no great rush, although news items will be posted to the new feeds
from today... March 6 09.

Phoenix and the Turtle

download file - Phoenix and the Turtle - It's Not You, It's Me ~4 Meg

Phoenix and the Turtle come from Yucaipa, a little way out of L.A. and are one of a number of newish groups from this region making non-standard music with different timbres and contructions that is nevertheless accessible - you don't need to have it explained to you what it's about and neither do you have to join any weird sects to be initiated.

Here we have a track called It's Not You, It's Me from their album Asleep in America.
