    Hi there,

    Once again I have a favour to ask of everyone out there in the MySpace world, and I’m sorry because I know these things can get a bit annoying, but every vote counts, and I am happy to return the favour if you need me to vote or rate anything of yours, so… if you get the chance could you please rate my new song “Million Miles Away” on Triple J Unearthed?

    Rate me on triple j Unearthed!

    If you could that would be awesome!

    Keep in touch!

    Cheers,

    Dan

  • Mister C.'s Hip Hop Att…Mister C.

    Nov 24 2009 7:02 AM

    I'm happy to announce that The ATTIC is going trough some major changes to address the big wave of performers and listeners alike.
    We kicked the limit of 1000 friends of which cca 500 are performers of some kind. The Attic also has 20-50 visitors a day, from around the world, and is being visited constantly by the people who look for new songs, performers and ideas here on Balkan.
    We have a strong backup from everybody, performers and fans alike, to keep the Attic kickin' and what would I be if I don't listen to them.

    New banner, performers and listeners are just the beginning of change here on Hip Hop Attic.
    Soon enough I will browse trough every performer here and put the best songs and videos on the Attic for all to hear and see. After that I'll put the time and effort to put together foreign list for all that are not Balkan based performers.
    There will be some surprise stuff for Christmas and New year but for that you'll have to wait till then.

    I'll do my best to have you all drop on you butts when you see what I have in store for you.
    If you have any questions, ask me in form of a message, cause I don't want to have all in my comment section on the Attic. Read the blog if you want to know what we do and why, and please, don't put humongous adds in Attic's comments cause they will be deleted! You can put 1 song, link, video, cover or flayer, but please, keep them lite, cause everyone needs to be seen, not just you.

    And, haters, don't bother, we really don't care what you think! Kinda like your mom! :P

    Attic recognizes...
    ...Attic rules!
    (this message is sent to all on the Attic!)

    Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

    There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

    Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

    And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
