++Death$ucker's Anarchist606 goes Blogging++ PLF contributor, Anarchist606 has lauched his own Blog at http://anarchist606.blogspot.com where you can find a regular critical look at the world in which we live. You go, 606.

++Hear'say no more. Ha Ha. Not to gloat too much, but one of the reasons we set up was to combat the corporateization of the music process. Yeah, yeah, we know that corporations had been involved in music from the early days, but in Hear'say we saw the genesis of the synergy-marketing machine as the whole process of music is co-opted from start to finish. No freedom, no creativity and no soul...and as it turned out, no staying power. We're happy to say we've outlived the Popstars. ++ ++And they are falling like flies.

Next to topple from the pedestal is Pop Idol Gareth Gates, who after only 7 months of fame is considered by sponsors Pepsi to be old news. Bye, bye Gatesy.++ ++ Cheers to all those who've supported us and here's to outliving Pop Idolatry, Lame Academy and Pop Stars: The Clones ++ ++
