The Gentle Act Incident - The city doesn't know me (video)

Check out The Gentle Act Incident's new video for "The city doesn't know me": https://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=61509939
It's not too visually interesting IMO, but the song sounds great -- they've got a really good, classic indierock sound.

The new Ikons single "Skull city" is out now via Service Coop. Listen here: https://srvc.se/catalog/item.php?catno=SRVC008
The band's debut album will be out this fall and if it's a continuation of what we've heard so far, I'm sure it'll be great.

Still moving slow

Since my laptop was confirmed deceased on Friday I have slowly started the long and arduous process of rebuilding my daily bookmark database. We're still deep into the dogdays of summer and not much is happening, so I'm taking it slow and will try to get back up to speed by the end of the week (or next). I doubt I'll ever get back all 2000+ links that I lost, but that's fine -- starting fresh is not so bad.
