there's nothing wrong with a xiu xiu fansite. as far as i can tell, this message board is it so far. i'm sure someone would host it and get a domain name. the best i can do is xiuxiu.tomstyle.comi'm sure the content would be a bit light though. a collection of all known interviews, lyrics, discography, bootlegs...what else?

we could have a biography written by the fans and stuff, or a i luv jamie second or something for all the kids to put their signs of affection to him (i know i will) and we could put a bounty on the heads of the guys that stole their gear last year

i just did some inter-searching...
all variations of iluvxiuxiu.* are available. and let's be honest - that's an excellent domain name.
or we could even go intense and get 'weluvxiuxiu-xiuxiuluvs.us'
it costs about $7/yr to register a name.
and then i found good hosting. we'd have two main options: $20 / year (!) for 100mb / 20gb transfer.
OR
$36 / year for 250 mb / 20 gb transfer.
i think the best feature of a fan site is that we could store live mp3s and not be subject to the vagaries of e-clubz.
also, things could be organized some.
i might even be willing to do some designing and stuff if people are into the idea.
as for the size differences, with 250 megs, we could fit a few live shows at once; with 100, we could fit one or maybe two.
are people interested? do they have a better domain name suggestion? should i just go for it?

ok here is something i threw together this morning. <a href=" fierce.starfiend.com/xx/">http://fierce.starfiend.com/xx/</a>the links are for: about xiu xiu / the site; lyrics; photos; the message board; live things (shows, setlists, and mp3s eventually i guess); anything else (probably tabs, fan art, whatever) none of the linked-to things are actually up yet. but that's just a basic idea. thoughts?

I think it would be really awsome to have a xiu xiu fan site. check out www.rilokiley.net for a model, i think it may be the best run fansite ever

tommmmm-
if you can host unlimited shows, etc., i'm wondering what the sense is in getting a whole domain, hosting, etc.
do you want to just put it up on xiuxiu.tomlab.com ? should i go ahead and design as much as possible and then be ready to email or whatever to you for you to upload?
or are people really intent on having a domain like iluvxiuxiu.com ?

i like the corniness of 'iluvxiuxiu' but what about the 'oh!' part, anyway yea so we need like a rough draft of what is actually going to be put on this site, and we have to all agree about it
