Licensed To Cool History of Updates: 01-20-05 Started the Biography section off with Gavin Douglas' biography, added some of Gavin's recent mp3s to the Multimedia section, two great new photos added to Gallery, Melody Maker classified ad added to Press section (Thanks Paul Gorman!), and blue label "Only The End..." LP variation added to Discography. 07-27-04 Added a favicon in the form of a blue gun! 03-16-04 "Can't Say No" lyrics update (thanks Tom!). Also added "Teenage Kicks" VA CD to Compilation section of Discography. 03-12-04 Updated the "Gabrielle" 7" release dates. I also added a new LP to the Tribues section, and made an additon to the Beltones 7" there. Also fixed the Ace Records links. 03-07-04 Updated the site to work better with Firefox, Mozilla 5, Opera 7, and Netscape Navigator 7 browsers. Note that with these browsers, you do not get the cool spinning gun on the left... for the full LTC experience, you'll have to use IE w. Windows. I also took off the "frames/noframes" options, now when you go to home (if you have IE on windows), it redirects you to the framed version. 02-17-04 Thanks again to Andy Calvert, who sent me a ton of photos to add to the Gallery. The new Gallery is now split into 5 parts, with the first two including miscellaneous photos, the next two sets of contact sheets from Andy Calvert, and the fifth captures from the "If I Should Fall From Grace" documentary on Shane. I also added another shirt to the "Memorabilia" section of the Discography, and made some minor cosmetic changes throughout the site. 01-26-04 Got 4 more photos for the Gallery thanks to Andy Calvert. Also added a new video clip of Shane and Shanne, and changed all the videos to DivX format. Updated many lyrics, thanks to the tips people have sent me since the last update. Also added a scan of a signed 7" to the discography. I also fixed the 'Bovver Boot' issue... everything now reads 'Bother Boots' (see 'Venus In Bother Boots' lyrics for discussion). 09-18-03 Added the "SKUM" October 1977 zine article to the press archive. Includes a review of the first ever Nipple Erectors gig! 09-16-03 Updated the Discography to include the new Nips CD.

By the date on this article, and Shane's clothes in the pictures, it turns out that the March '77 photos by Ian Dickson were not from the bleeding ear incident!

Registered the domain name "www.thenips.com" today!! 05-12-01 The discography is almost finished. The Multimedia page is finished. I have also made the site accessible to browsers without frames, Flash, or javascript, and to low-resolution monitors. 05-03-01 The shell of the HTML site is now finished, with the gun finally working properly! 04-10-01 I began redesigning the site in HTML. 03-28-01 I finished the shell of the Flash site, then decided to switch to a mostly HTML site, employing a few Flash elements. I did get the Back and Forward browser buttons to work with the Flash site, but was still unsatisfied with the lower user-friendliness of a site built entirely in Flash. 03-20-01 I began work on the site, originally all in Flash.
