CATCH FIRE has always worked like a little hub in a bigger network of people. A huge amount of the stuff posted on this site has been inspired by things friends of mine were talking about in conversations or readers sent to me via mail. At the same time at the moment I’m realizing that I have less and less time to regularly update you guys with interesting  or entertaining input. So whenever you find stuff that you think could fit on this page let me know, may it be a new zine, a band, an event, an interesting artist or just a  silly video. And if you even want to write a few lines about it, the better. All your stuff is highly appreciated here, because it helps to keep this site interesting and helps connecting people. Mail to contact@catch-fire.com. Thanks.

Hey guys, I recently got critizised several times for posting too many picture galleries (like the one below) and single pictures on this site instead of “real” content. I’ve always wanted CATCH FIRE to be a very visual site, but I surely don’t want to annoy or even bore people with too many pictures. So please tell me what you think and vote:

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

UPDATE (02/10/10): Poll is closed now. Thanks to everyone who voted! I’m pretty happy with the result…
