THE 405: NEW SITE & BIRTHDAY
April 28, 2009,
Written by The 405
Hello!
Welcome to the new site everyone! The site itself is an ongoing project so at the moment you're only seeing 90% of what the site will eventually look like. The major parts missing at the moment are the links, search facility, RSS and a few animation things (rotating feature/news/reviews). These elements will be phased in over the coming weeks/months, along with a few more tweaks. We really wanted to get the main part up and running for you all, rather than waiting a few weeks more for a fully finished product.
You might see some issues with the background if you're using a wide screen computer (*we're sorting it) and a few image issues too. The site might be a little bit bare to right now but we're working really hard to import all the old posts.
As this is a new site launch you might come across a few bugs, so if you spot anything you think we might have missed feel free to let us know at thefouroh5@gmail.com
Firstly I want to thank Peter Roome and Rob Barwell for putting this whole site together. I approached them both last summer about re-designing The 405 and over the last 8 or so months these guys have been extremely professional and bloody great at what they do. From the initial pub meetings for the logo/website design all the way through to me pestering Pete about it being put together, both of them have been absolute gentlemen. So yeah, I owe you two so much and so does anyone else that regularly reads this site or works at The 405.
I also want to mention the fact that a year ago today I published the first ever post on this site. Since then it's gone to places I never thought possible. I've made some amazing friends, met some amazing people and got a ridiculous amount of free CD's!
All of this is down to the amazing team we have here at The 405 and to the people that come here and read our reviews/articles.
Thats about it really. I really hope you like what we've created.
Heres to another year!

Hey Oliver, I just sent you a reply to your e-mail saying the link didn't work...then I saw the other e-mail so disregard that. Anyway, I think this site looks wonderful. Great job. Will the URL change back to thefourohfive.com or will it be switched to thefourohfive.tomrosenthal.net?

Hey Ryan, Yeah this is just the testing ground. Once it's finished off we'll be re-directing the domain name to thefourohfive.com, which will overtake the current one

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]
