Second, I'd welcome your widening up the blog again, I used to like your non-dubstep writing a lot. Lastly, I read Woebot's piece - I would be amazed if he gets 1m hits. He's clearly pretty tech-literate, but hits and unique visitors are not the same at all - the latter is a LOT less than the former in every case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28509712.post-13995103670653536662007-06-08T21:31:00.000+01:002007-06-08T21:31:00.000+01:00Well, well…Welcome back! Will you be putting the 8...Well, well…Welcome back! Will you be putting the 808 back as your header? And how about those “Gutta’ demo” tracks as well? I’ve been a loyal “Gutta’” reader since 2003, and to be honest my favorite pieces were always the “retro” posts, or the leftfield fan-boy scribbling (Luke Vibert, Aphex, vintage drum machines, Mrs. Gutta’ etc.), as your eclectic musical experience and taste seems so close to my own. Also, I think you got a very raw deal when you got all of that negative shit over the MP3’s (I must admit I’m guilty as charged - I downloaded ‘em too). Your blog has exposed a lot of new dubstep(ish) stuff that I would never have otherwise come across\heard – and yes, as a direct result I’ve actually tracked down records (12’, vinyl, CD etc.) and (gasp) !bought! them. I’m sure that your blog has helped sell more records to more than make up for the (supposed) damage that posting those (old even at the time) MP3s caused. It pissed me off - I thought you deserved much more credit for selling (and that means selling records...) the “scene” beyond Sarf’ London and Bristol. It also pissed me off that the incident seems to suck a little bit of the life out of the GB blog. It’s good to see you returning to form!<BR/><BR/>As for the “big” blogs out there – I always just assumed that they didn’t allow comments because the bloggers felt above that sort of thing. I mean, who am I to critique the musings of the great Simon? Whatever. One can lament the passing of a “golden age” all one wants – but if you’re not willing to put your money where you mouth is (like you are again, Gutta’), then stop moaning.<BR/><BR/>Now – how’s the Fruity Loops stuff coming…? Still fiddling with it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28509712.post-77903989389087450222007-06-08T09:28:00.000+01:002007-06-08T09:28:00.000+01:00I like the latest Rusko record, but dubstep MP3s a...I like the latest Rusko record, but dubstep MP3s are not on the agenda, at any bit-rate.N.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05422753615782986293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28509712.post-68705084920634430682007-06-08T02:47:00.000+01:002007-06-08T02:47:00.000+01:00shotties...:)as a suggestion if you gonna post up ...shotties...:)<BR/><BR/>as a suggestion if you gonna post up more mp3's (yes please)<BR/><BR/>...just make em 112 bit for promo purpose<BR/><BR/>that was my only real gripe about that whole episode...<BR/><BR/>...so ya heard any good dubstep lately ???<BR/><BR/>I'm really feeling reso, rusko and caspa...pollywoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295990157397125661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28509712.post-41877677812559885662007-06-07T23:46:00.000+01:002007-06-07T23:46:00.000+01:00I'd say the 'golden age' was around 2003, that's w...I'd say the 'golden age' was around 2003, that's when all the big blogs got going.
