Is Hardcore making a comeback?

Dreamscape 27Just listening to Clubland X-treme Hardcore 4. There seems to be a few of this genre out there now. Is hardcore music making a comeback? There’s a few rehashes of some club classics in there, mixed in with some new stuff and a sprinkling of “choons”. Overall, sounds good.

I suppose the question I should be asking is, did hardcore ever leave???

PS. The Dreamscape pic is for illustrative purposes only.

Natural Feature of the Year Awards 2007

Pygmy MarmosetThat’s right folks, it’s that time of the year. The winners of natural feature of the year 2007 have been announced. Here’s some of the winners and my thoughts…

Fish of the YearTench - I was suprised this won, my bets were on the Carp.

Bird of the YearKestrel - A classic, although the robin might have been more seasonal.

Lichen of the YearIceland Moss – Glad to see this won through after being pipped to the post by Greenshield Moss last year.

Wild Animal of the YearElk - I was shocked to see this had beaten the Pygmy Marmoset. Still, better luck next year!
