Via Homepage:

Today, exactly 31 years since Jake and Elwood first performed on Saturday Night Live, we are proud to bring you the brand new Blues Brothers Central! Three years in the making, this is the largest change we have ever made to this site.

One of the main reasons for building this new site was to better integrate the main website with the Soul Food Cafe Forum.

Also, this version of Blues Brothers Central is much easier to keep updated, meaning there should be more new content posted regularly.
The site additionally now has RSS support, as well as Facebook/Twitter integration.

Some new features worth checking out:
The SCMODS Movie Guide
Bootlegs
Videos
Movie Locations

If you come across any bugs with the site, please don't hesitate to either post them in the forum, or send me an email.

Suggestions are always welcome too!

I absolutely love it !!!!!!!
I got everything I need....almost...

"I was growing sick of rock and roll, it was starting to bore me...and I hated disco, so I needed some place to go. I hadn't heard much blues before. It felt good."-John Belushi

(Still inspiring me--and knowing me like a book)

Glad you all like it :D

I've just made some changes to the site to make it run a little bit faster, and also fixed some of the bugs I discovered.

Also finally put the whole original script online!
Original Script :: Blues Brothers Central
(No, it's not Dan Aykroyd's phonebook-sized screenplay, it's an old shooting script with extra scenes in it!)

Tip: There are 703 photos in the Picture Gallery. Most of them are currently hiding in the "Uncategorized" category. At some stage (when I have time) I'll start tagging them and renaming them, putting them into the correct folders. They'll also be linked (so for example if you're viewing a gig, it will show photos from that gig underneath!).

Feel free to have a browse if you don't mind a giant mess:
Picture Gallery - Uncategorized / Viewing Photos :: Blues Brothers Central
(It's 25 pages with 28 photos on each one).
There's some photos there you might have never seen before!

Check out the red box underneath the description for each photo on it's page, for example:
Picture Gallery - Uncategorized / Viewing twiggy02 :: Blues Brothers Central
It has an option to download the photo, or save it as either:
*A Windows Live Messenger Display Picture (For MSN Messenger)
*A Small 80px Forum Avatar (to use on other websites)
*A Large 100px Forum Avatar

For the 100px Avatar option, you will see a button underneath it which says "Set as Forum Avatar". This will actually change your Avatar on THIS forum! So you won't even have to save the image to your PC first :BB:

Man this place keeps getting better great job

Elwood-leaving the next generation with nothing but recycled, digitally sampled techno grooves, quasi synth rhythms, pseudo songs of violence laden gangsta rap, acid pop, and simpering, saccharine, soulless slush.
