Problems in Firefox 3.6
Posted by Editors on January 28th, 2010
I’ve just noticed some problems with the site that appears in Firefox 3.6. For some reason it will not load the CSS, which of course messes things up. We’re working with the problem and hopefully it will be fixed very soon. In the mean time (if you are effected), use another browser, like Safari, or an older version of Firefox (3.5.7) to get your latest music and design updates the way they should be.
Beacuse of this, the site might be a bit unstable and the colours and the typography might look a bit off for a short while.
Oh, and if anyone has any idea what it could be, we would appreciate help.
Update: The problem is now fixed. Apparently, The newest version of Firefox has become particulary picky with quotations marks. We had overseen one single qoutation mark in the CSS file, causing the whole site to go down. So the morale of the story: be very cautious in the furure with quotation marks when coding CSS.

Coming up!
Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on January 7th, 2010
It’s a new year. A new year of forthcoming albums and new bands. And to be honest, I couldn’t be more thrilled. After a slightly disappointing year I’m filled with optimism and joy over all the (possibly) great albums up ahead.
Top Fives

The year has just past and it’s a time for lists. Top 100’s, 50’s, 20’s and 10’s in everything you could emagine. Therefore, since we haven’t had a tradtition for being exceptionally different and innovative so far, we’re gonna do our own list of top 5’s from the past 12 months, and we promise, this upcoming year, we’ll do some seriously innovative, original writing to make up for it.
