What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2007

An independent online music magazine in London, concentrating on new music.

Richard Thane started it in February 2007 and named it after a Death Cab for Cutie song. It runs the Five Day Forecast festival in London (since 2015) and a record label, and its reviews feed Metacritic.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
