So, the blog’s been up for three months now…any better?

Genuinely value your input here, seeing as you were a TOTP Online fan.

Cheers

Hey Fraser,

Thanks for stopping by. I had almost forgotten about this little entry, however, I’m quite honored that you found it.

When I read that the TOTP site was going to be shut down and converted into a blog, I was, frankly, a little puzzled. TOTP was as big and rambunctious as I presumed the show to be (BBC America is on subscription basis here in the States; therefore I missed whatever TOTP episodes were broadcast in my neighborhood). To convert it into a blog, IMHO, had kinda taken it down a little, class-wise. After all, anyone can put together a blog. Certainly, a government-funded organization such as the BBC could do better?

With all that said…

That was my opinion three months ago. You and your crew have come along way since then. I miss all the show clips, as that was the only way I could get to hear new music, but since there’s no show, the YouTube raidings will have to do (and kudos to you for not turning those young kids in for posting clips of your old show onling). I’m especially impressed with the biting music reviews. The fact that you were able to uniformally piss off a bunch of pre-teen Evanescence fans is no mean feat, indeed (I beg to differ on the recent Joss Stone review, however, but whatever…).

My only kvetch is that the blog design is kinda blah. I realize not every pop-culture-oriented blog has to be like Pop Justice, but it frankly could use some spicing up. I’m sure you are all are working dillgently on that.

Live long and prosper,

Helen
