If any of these one-liners ring a bell, you’re either a fan of Das Ich (4), Nietzsche (12, but being a Nietzsche fan is not something we’d love to digress upon and it’s 1PM, anyways been quite hard after the lobotomy and I’m off the hook with half a day), William Gibson (15), Killing Miranda (23 & 24) or for all the rest – you’ve been hanging out with the LD50 crew during the early days. Up until 2004-2005, ’cause that was when we finally revamped the design and buttfucked the whole randomtext header concept. Dug through the LD50 FTP, decided this was some good material to post with all the other memory-heavy anchors that stay hidden in a folder until I either make longish blogposts out of them to induce sad-sad nostalgy.

Or I write a book on it. Which is pretty obvious, come to think of it.  (The pic, that’s Jaime Winstone on a promo shot of BBC’s cheesy kungfu weirdness Phoo Action that’s just been cancelled. But she’s gonna remind you, all you long-time ldfiftyers, of the girl in our old logo. That’s just for the memory, the keepsake, the shared grins. And grab some PA screenshots here.)
