it does seem a little disappointing that some of these blogs are full of easily available in print stuff like the velvet underground's live 69 etc. does anyone have anything in particular to recommend from any of them that is genuinely out of print?

I dunno but I've been in Prog/Brasil heaven these past couple of days after dl'ing stuff off these blogs. The Cybotron album is remarkable, as is the Jose Cid. McDonald & Giles. Jorge Ben's "Africa Brasil" has caused me some DNA restructuring. So much great stuff here.

Any good italo disco versions of these? I don't know enough about the genre to just start buying things, but I'm curious...

js (honestengine), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

has anyone bothered with a rapidshare premium account? is everything easy-peasy once you've paid up?

toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 09:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I signed up for a monthly one cos I was having so much hassle downloading through the free version. Dead easy to sign up, and not a single problem with downloading since then.

Tim Rutherford-Johnson (Rambler), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got one, at least until the 15th. It's fairly cheap and pretty worth it, though I'm nowhere near the ceiling for use (which is like 30gb a day).

js (honestengine), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 12:10 (seventeen years ago) link

3 gig a day.. the remainder is added to your next day limit if unused. I think you can bank 15gig in total.

Anybody know what kind of format the files with the "rar" extension are?

christoff (christoff), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

they're compressed, like zipfiles. if you're using windows you need a program called WinRAR.

Does anyone know any good download sites for 60s soul? I've been dying to get hold of the 'Sunshower' album by Thelma Houston for ages, but can't find a copy that isn't going for some ridiculous price on Japanese import.

it sucks that these all use rapidshare. i have a problem with my internet connection crapping out, and when that happens,not only do i lose the current download but given RS's rules i can't try another for 60-90 minutes!

Most of the stuff on the 60s/70s blog -- well, you can still actually buy most of the CDs. Capricorn was selling both Hydra albums. Neither are hard to find. Bang's been selling their catalog on the web for a long time. If he's trying to publicize 60's/70's hard rock that no one can find anymore, he's completely missed the boat. You don't put Ted Nugent's "double live gonzo" at the top, something that's in every BestBuy and is about to get reissued remastered on RockCandy, and earn cred except as an idiot.

Geez, I know, I'll pack my CDs in the .rar archiver and put them on
the web. Woo.

I had high hopes but...

GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Saturday, 8 July 2006 00:26 (seventeen years ago) link

(xxxpost) Thanks for that! Looking forward to the upcoming Air-produced Charlotte Gainsbourg stuff now.

And - yeah - God Punch is right. Cut dude some slack.

Anyone manage to get the Zeppelin concerts from ChrisGoesRock before they disappeared?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sprung for a month's worth of RS "Premium Membership."

There's so much up there that I just loaded up my d/l manager with RS links and just let it run all night long.

i think i'm gonna spring for a yearlong membership and DL a few hundred albums. it comes out to about a hundred bucks, i think. i'll probably make it all back in the money i save from not going to amoeba as much!

gear (gear), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I have too many links to post here, so I exported the whole works as a OPML file which you can download here. Import that into your newsfeed readers and go nuts.

There's a wide open market for someone to do a good 80s thrash/death/whatever demo/obscurities blog.

Good news!

yeah, but what are you gonna do?

good tip on that texier, pretty great stuff. is the earlier solo LP worth chasing down?

GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 09:37 (seventeen years ago) link

the way i found out about him was my buddy went backpacking/digging all through europe (he met so many crusty euro record collectors and picked up so much amazing eastern euro psych and jazz) and brought home Amir (the one with his bass standing upright by itself) and i was fucking sold. fell in love. if you like Varech, you'll like Amir. if it's not online anymore, lemme know and i can upload it.

Anyone know where I might be able to find Trust records? One site had a listing for 80s French metal, but no Trust. The lowest anything of theirs goes for on Amazon is $20, and you can't even get it on eBay.

It really is, Ned. Some of those have been posted over time at http://matsuli.blogspot.com/index.html which is a great thoughtful and diverse African music (mostly) blog. Good stuff. But to have all of the AS volumes in one place is... amazing. Now if I only had 1000 free hours.

http://prognotfrog.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post.html

basically some d-bag who runs a shitty prog label and a shitty prog webstore is going around having blogs shut down because they (the blog) don't have copyright to the material they're posting; neither does he, but that doesn't seem to bother him. so yeah, look for google/blogspot to flip out and start pulling mp3 blogs left and right.

GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 14:09 (sixteen years ago) link

this, coupled with the AT&T "SURE WE'LL FILTER COPYRIGHTED FILES! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK ONCE!" thing, make me think 2008 is going to be the filespocalypse. democrats will be all too happy to push through some shit-for-brains legislation making it illegal to type the characters m,p, and 3 in sequence. etc.
