THE 405 NEWS ROUNDUP (18/02/09)
February 18, 2009,
Written by The 405
I'm sure you would have gueesed it by now but we have a brand new site design coming soon. It's a million times better than this one and we think you're going to love it, especially our news section.
We never really covered the news much on the current site due to the layout but the new site will boast all the latest music, art and film news and it will be updated daily thanks to our news team! Rather than to ram a load of seperate posts down your throats we'll be posting daily news roundups full of the best news of the day.
To make the transition between the sites smooth we've decided to start up our daily news posts as of next Monday (23rd Feb) with todays roundup being a taster of whats to come!
If you have any suggestions for us let us know!
Happy Wednesday!
Welcome to todays (18th Feb) news roundup whereby we share with you the latest Music/Art/Film news!
Todays roundup includes the Yeah Yeah Yeah's new single, a Vessels Tour, SEO Rock'n'Roll, Supersonic Festival, Night At The Museum 2 and Great Escape 2009!

Schadenfreude. I think you've pretty much covered it in the last paragraph: when we're down, we search for culture which empathises; when we're up, we search for culture which makes us see the value and worth of our current 'positive' situation. Not everyone though: some people detest dark comedy, cynical people and skeptical views. [view article]

Hey there :) Just wondered, did you take the pictures yourself? Its just im currently completing my Final Major Project for my publishing course and im making a music magazine. Having a massive problem with copywrite :/ If you did take the pictures would i be able to use the ones of pulled apart by horses? because they are the best ive found :P they really capture how mental they are. You would be a MASSIVE help. Id put your name on the pictures and if you want i can sent you the mag when its done so you can put it in a portfolio or summat? Would be a MASSIVE help :) If your interested could you email me on only-inhuman@hotmail.com Cheers :) [view article]
