3.An article on the Huddersfield Festival of Light which was little more than a bunch of poorly-taken photos

4.A review of a single by !!! which I think was the first review I ever did on the site. If memory serves, I took it down after a year or two for no particularly good reason. Internet Archive did not capture it.
