It's not finished yet...

I sort of stole the layout but it's taken me four days just to re-assemble it piece by piece and make it all work.

All the graphics are mine - just not the frame layout. The background tile alone took me two hours to do.

looks great! the background reminds me of that AIR ep that came out a while back...

Yeah - at first I had the background spots change colour quite rapidly but it was giving me a headache. I had to re-do the gif settings and they change about once every 12 seconds now.

very nice justin

and i agree it does remind me of that air cover

I'm just so much into retro-styling at the moment. There are ways to do it without having it just look old-fashioned.

and co-sign on the Air cover- which is a great thing as I LOVE that cover!

This is cool, is it going to be a site dedicated to all things retro?

Taureau said:

Yeah - but specifically mid-sixties to early-seventies retro. Primarily lounge music but not exclusively. I'm not really interested in the fifties, early sixties or eighties.

I love the whole lounge aesthetic of white deep-pile shag carpets. Tiki carvings on the wall. Orange plastic furniture. Remote controlled drapes at the window. Vodka Martinis. Liz Taylor & Richard Burton. Concorde flying from London to New York in under 90 minutes - in fact the Jet-Set in general. St Tropez in Summer, Switzerland in Winter. Go-go girls wearing kinky boots.

Good work!
