I have been sick for going on eleven straight days. They said the flu this year was really bad and they weren't lying. I got so sick I developed bronchitis and the anti-biotic they prescribed is worse than the symptom. I am pretty fucked up. I have missed a shitload of work and I am running out of sick time that I have saved up for like ever. Thank God I have sick time at all or I would be really screwed. I need some rock redemption, so I have dragged my ass to the computer to post Duda’s (SugarBuzz Toronto) interview with The Diplomats of Solid Sound. Be sure to check them out. “On the Record” Also, this “What’s New” page was getting bogged down with every update since 2004. So I cleaned house.
