24th November 2004 Happy 42nd Birthday, Mr. John Squire. Well let's hope that whatever John's up to musically, he has a top day today. Lets see how things pan out and give best wishes to the man who gave us 'The Stone Roses', 'Second Coming', 'Do It Yourself', 'Time Changes Everything' and 'Marshall's House'! Let's hope he brings his Exhibiton (with soundtrack) back to the UK in 2005 as well.
21st November 2004 No third solo album???. John Squire appears in Manchester United fanzine 'United We Stand' and finally gives us a glimpse of what he is used to at the moment. John reveals to the mag that he is mainly painting, playing guitar and bringing up kids at the moment. He is recording new music but apparently it's intended as a soundtrack to his forthcoming Japanese Exhibition (March 2005). He also told the magazine that he has dropped himself from hs own label as he does not sell enough records so there will be no 3rd solo album... I'm sure that if that is true it does not mean we will not see him return to the scene in some form or other.
Also, he, like Ian Brown is going back to the 'not in this lifetime' answer to the inevitable "what about a Stone Roses reunion" question, which is a shame.

I've recently enlisted the services of a new web host with 4 times the file storage and all the bandwidth I'll ever need and for even less than I've been paying, which is nice. This should not affect you or the site at all, except for the fact that it will allow me to upload even more material than I have been. Whilst I will try to keep inconvenience to a minimum, please bear with me over the next few files as I transfer the site over to the new host.
