the work of Adam Makarenko

My most sincere apologies, dear listener. Duchess was broken, and more than anything else, fear kept me from addressing the overwhelming task of fixing it. Finally, after wiping the database and reinstalling wordpress and the archives, Duchess is back.

the work of Blue Noses collective

This post was delayed by several days due to odd plugin behavior. Seems to be epidemic in wordpress land. Couldn’t login to the backend. After disabling all, I was back in; this may cause functionality issues with the xspf player in the meantime. I suggest clickdrag the link into winamp, and that will get you to the stream if you dont have patience or space for the download. Cheers

Update All is back to normal, after scraping out the plugins folder.
