If you’ve tried to sign up for the mailing list in the last couple of weeks and encountered problems, it should all be back up and working. If you’re still having problems, let me know and I’ll cry some more then try to sort them out.
<tangent>I haven’t been entirely happy with the people I’m using to deliver the list, so I tried out Aweber. I’ve had nothing but problems since I started with them. I’m tempted to go on a rant, but I won’t bore with that. I’ll just say: if you’re ever setting up an email list and want the benefit of my experience, avoid Aweber.</tangent>

Clarks shoes will always be associated in my mind with the ugly school shoes I was stuck with while all my cooler friends were wearing DMs. In an attempt to change this, they hooked up with Tokyo Ukulele Afternoon and gave away their version of Tequila to London’s hipnoscenti. You can take a listen yourself at Innersounds and grab some more mp3s here. I’m still not going to voluntarily wear the shoes. (Via Ukulele & All That Jazz)
