hi,
it's pretty personal stuff that you're piecing together in the bio section. I would have to say that you are about 70% correct on all of the facts in there...email me and I can help make the corrections or why don't you run all this by jamie instead?, I don't want to sound like an ass here on the board, but some blindingly dead wrong facts are there...not insulting the efforts, I think it's wonderful, but if you get bio stuff wrong, it almost reads like a crazed fan who believes everything, and who actually isn't taking a journalistic perspective on the history/story of xiu xiu...I basically see that the writer knows how to use google, has a knowledge of their catalog and has read the sticker on knife play.
p.s. it was not infact jamie's mother that passed away, and I think this might be better explained in generalities than who/what/where of the mentioned "fact"...if I was to write about xiu xiu, I'd actually interview the band...fan sites are sort of scary, because basically it's this huge ball of half-truths and rumors...but, I know I'm exagerating with your clearly pure efforts- so, good luck and good job.
p.p.s. This message was not meant to make you look bad or make me feel better about my "knowledge" of the band, anyway, I am just somewhat scared of new fans completely warping things and I guess feel sort of pissy about people's understanding/perception of the band, and maybe that's why I wrote this long diatrabe, sorry! ....last thing: in my opinion a xiu xiu bio is better in word of mouth,confused jarbled inside jokes, eating livers, and myth than written reality- this is the nature of the beast.
cheers.

I think it looks and is great. One thing- is the link to the "official site" on the front page supposed to go to the fansite or the offical site, becuase right now I think it goes to the tomstyle site. great work, and thanks for hosting so much great material.
