A New Beginning...

I stranded at uploading 375 of my favorite albums when all hell broke loose in cyberlocker-world. We're about 3 months later now and the dust is slowly starting to settle. Time to pick up the pieces and move on. I decided to resurrect my blog in the hope this time it will hold a little longer. This time I will use FileFactory. It's nice to free downloaders and it's been around since 2005 which translates in a couple of centuries in internet terms. I keep my fingers crossed they stay around.

In light of what happenend and the hours of work I saw swepped away, I've also decided to keep things a lot simpler. No more essays and written texts about the albums I post, no more links where to buy the album. I guess anybody with some intrest in music will find enough info on the net about the albums I post. I suggest All Music Guide and Rate Your Music. By the way... the downloadlink will be hidden. Don't be lazy, find it and leave a comment. 

I hope you will enjoy what I have to offer.
Any suggestions are welcome.

FILESONIC....

Filesonic, one of the Internet’s leading cyberlocker services, has taken some drastic measures following the Megaupload shutdown and arrests last week. The site has disabled all sharing functionality, leaving users only with access to their own files. This means nothing can be downloaded at this point. All my files are on Filesonic.

I guess and hope FileSonic will be back, after they made some location changes in their serverpark and cleaned up their loose ends... I saw they already shifted some servers to the Netherlands and are busy moving stuff around. Let's hope for the best and stay optimistic till all effectively turns black. I don't believe it will get that bad....

I will keep my fingers crossed hoping this smog will clear in the next couple of weeks. Meantime I'll also start uploading my files to other filesevers.
Stay tuned and bear with me...

Oh, and maybe you should do something too. Go read these and you'll know what's at stake here.
