The two-year anniversary of IAt! is coming up this week (September 30!) and it's about time I started adding more content. In particular, I'm looking for people to do interviews, write articles or maybe even do record reviews. You won't get paid (yet), but isn't internAtional superstardom worth it? But seriously, I'll do whAt I can to make it worth your while. Interested? Email me.

There are now IAt! buttons in the mailorder. Atrap.com/mailorder/index.php?id=40" target=_blank>Check it out! One free with any order, $1 apiece otherwise, regardless of locAtion. If people are interested, I might make get a few different designs made as well.

At the risk of total bandwidth overload, I've added a crapload of new mp3s added today including something from one of my longtime favorites, Swedish industrial act Sanctum. Four more Kristofer Åström live tracks as well. Also, as I was so nicely informed by ex-drummer Janne Westerberg, those live Breach tracks are actually from 1997, not 1998 as they were originally labelled.
