Back to life...[2008-12-20]
Hi everybody! Feels like I've been gone a long time... If you forgive me a minute, I'm going to be personal here, I just been through my worst diskcrash (yet?), my hard drive went to [literally] to pieces and I've been without my macbook seven weeks or so. That wasn't so bad as it sounds, but the real itch is that a lot of data disappeared with the crash, in spite of always backing up and trying to have multiple copies of stuff, there's still things missing. Including some work for the kuepperfiles, as pictures is gone, unfortunately. I haven't entirerly given up on restoring more stuff and I will keep on working on it. That's my minute, I guess. Sorry for not updating as I should have. Missed a few gigs during november (they went well, though, so I've been informed ;) and for those of you who were there, I'm happy for you! :-)

For those of you who still haven't heard the Prince Melon bootleg series of live albums... What are you waiting for? ;-)

The discussion of these pictures... when and where? Now, directly from the horse's mouth, the matter's settled...


Corrected date on Melbourne pics... [2008-08-21]

Happy New Year!
I would like to wish you all the best for the new year – and also send some very special thanks to all of you who have in one way or another contributed to the site. Thank you very much!

I listened to Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album just the other day, and there's a fantastic song (there are only fantastic songs on that album, in my opinion :-) - but anyway, this was Ten Years Gone - and I realized it is more than ten years since The Kuepper Files first saw the light of day. Time is an amazing thing. Days can go slow, but years run quickly. I hope to continue this for another ten years - and I hope that Ed and all you other folks out there does too! And hopefully longer still. Keep the fire burning! :-)
