WOEBOT bows out

[dHarry]

Apparently our host and benefactor Woebot is ceasing and desisting all online activity as of now:

http://www.woebot.com/

Thanks for everything and good luck with new directions in life. Hopefully Dissensus will continue to blossom in your absence (and honour).

 

[mistersloane]

I can totally see why and respect the decision, thanks for all the good stuff man, you've been a great help to me personally.

 

[tox]

That's a shame but I can understand the reasoning.

Your online presence will be missed.

The man's a legend - he leaves a massive hole in online music writing. How the hell am I going to find a concise introduction to NDW or obscure French prog NOW?!?

Let's hope he's doing this Jay-Z style...

 

[labrat]

cheers my good man!
and thanks for these http://www.woebot.com/2006/08/a_prehistory_of_british_electr.html http://www.woebot.com/2005/11/underground_ndw_19801983.html http://www.woebot.com/movabletype/archives/000545.html and loads more (oh! and dissensus )

RIP woebot.com

Let's hope he's doing this Jay-Z style...

OTM

 

[continuum]

Will be sad to see the blog go! Big up for keeping Dissensus going still

 

[gek-opel]

Good luck with the future projects Woebot.

 

[zhao]

ok i gotta read the entire woebot.com archives NOW before he decides to take it down

yeah good luck matt!

 

[IdleRich]

Can only echo all that, dissensus really has introduced me to a lot of stuff (and made my working day almost bearable).

 

[heroesandvillains]

WOEBOT and dissensus have been responsible for shaping my listening more than anything else the past couple of years.

Matt you'll sorely be missed, thanks for everything and good luck.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Good luck mate, I've had a great time on here the past year and a half or so...long live Dissensus!

 

[Benny Bunter]

Woebot, you should write a book mate!

 

[john eden]

Pah! Lightweight!

 

[Grievous Angel]

Yeah, I remember when he was really good, not much to miss now, I'll never forget the 2004-era stuff but by 2006 he was all played out...

 

[henry s]

you could kinda see the writing on the wall with that enormous Jazz post...I thought, good god man, how does he follow this one up?...will be missed, to be sure...

 

[jenks]

I can only add my thanks to everybody else's.

Cheers.

 

[Guybrush]

Godspeed and all the best!

 

[baboon2004]

Yeah, I remember when he was really good, not much to miss now, I'll never forget the 2004-era stuff but by 2006 he was all played out...

Jesus man, compared to the limited-edition 10" posts in 2002, that 2004 stuff is like, so mainstream....

 

[nomadologist]

Nothing but respect and admiration for Woebot. And not just from me but from any and everyone I can think of who's ever read his work or followed his blog.

I can't help but secretly hope that he finds some time to work on writing music (not just about music), even if we never get to hear it.
