Brokensky.net is reborn - alpha version

The new redesign started with the little download page for my Paris recording… it’s nowhere near complete, but there’s enough static mockup that I thought about tossing the old “I Surrender” and “Orpheus” sections in and releasing what is here.
For now it’s optimized for the latest (beta) versions of firefox and safari – anything else is unsupported at this point but there shouldn’t be major issues as long as you’re using something recent. I’m using this to learn a new content management system (expression engine) as well as play around behaviour, so expect things to change and occasionally not work.
Here is Somewhere

A high quality version of Somewhere from the TIAA-CREF Commercial that Sylvian sang for is now online. The lineage is Tivo > VHS (TDK HS Preimium Quality, SP) > Toshiba W512 VCR (4-Head Hi-Fi) > Composite RCA Out > Sound Blaster Live! Platinum > Adobe Audition 1.5 > APE (High Compression) & MP3 (Fraunhoffer IIS 70% VBR).

Layout is now valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS is valid except for the transparency stuff shrugs. I liked the old design but it was beginning to look a bit plain, so I figured this would be a good way to update my skills and add in some new functionality as well. I recommend using a browser other than Internet Explorer, simply because it hasn’t been updated for a while and doesn’t handle CSS properly. Firefox is an easy to use streamlined solution with some great features and extensions for those wanting more.
Reliving the Dream

A momentous occasion… a recording of the Wiltern LA (E&N Leg 2 – 2002) has finally surfaced! Thanks to Versaece for contacting me and putting up with the comitragedy of transferring the show, and Renzo for quickly cleaning and remastering it. The show is available in FLAC format on dimeadozen.org, mp3s as usual are on the downloads page.
