Being dragged kicking and squealing into the new fangled world of myspace, and having to do battle with their inherent gremlins, we now have a page up there under the moniker of Funkpigmusic.
If myspace is your weapon of choice, feel free to go and do that being our myspace friends thing and we'll reciprocate etc etc blah blah

while we are on the subject of myspace, our chums Phroyter have changed their name to Shiny Thing and are there at
