New Name, Same Site | Introducing FRICTION NYC
Props to Nghia for pulling an all-nighter over weekend to get the “new” site up and running, while retaining the old posts from Crackers United. We decided over the summer that we basically wanted to streamline everything to give the FRICTION shows their own webpage instead of just using MySpace. In addition, the site was originally set up as a way to share various information between 10 or so friends, sort of like a centralized place where we could all share thoughts, ideas, etc. The site was never intended to be a music blog although that’s what it eventually grew into over the past three years.
As you can see, things aren’t quite finished yet. There’s still some work that needs to be done, including the new logo and cleaning up the main page and adding flyers and stuff. It’s going to take us a little time, so please bear with our rather dull appearance. The most important thing is that the site is up and functioning just as Crackers United did and all of our posts back to March 2005 are still there. The URL “crackersunited.com” will still bring you to this page and it would be greatly appreciated if fellow bloggers (and sites) could update their URL to “frictionnyc.com/blog” and blogroll to read “FRICTION NYC.”
To “christen” the new name (and make sure the downloads work) we’re posting none other than some My Bloody Valentine. Snag “No Place To Go” from the hard to find Geek! EP below featuring Dave Conway on lead vocals. And please let us know if there are any issues with the site!
