Sorry to hear too of Goran Nord's premature death.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute to the blog via the comments section, the more interactive it becomes, the more inspired i stay to keep it going.
Was it you who had the "Patrick's Musical Thoughts" blog?

Hi Kit,

Yeah that was my little attempt at a blog. It's still there, but only has an announcement with info about our newly re-released CD.

Thanks again for your AWESOME blog.
Patrick

Haven't checked out your blog in ages, but now that rapidshare has improved their services I'm downloading like crazy. Great work! Maybe I should move this thread to Poisonoise and make it sticky?

NP: ENERGY - "Conquer The World" 7" EP
Bloody awesome!

Hi Dan, glad you're enjoying what we're doing at the blog, nice to know it's appreciated.
If you move this thread to poisonoise as a sticky i'd be honoured & extremely chuffed.

Keep yer eyes peeled for some more Energy coming up soon at NILOOB too!

Wish granted and well deserved!


EDIT: I love the way I wrote that it actually seems I had something to do with it.

It's really gratifying to find that people are enjoying the stuff we post so much that they're going out & buying the originals. This seems to fly in the face of the view that the record companies perpetuate, that people who download music don't buy music. As i suspected, much like their "Home Taping Is Killing Music" campaign of the '80's, the record industry is, once again, full of shit.

Hey, thanks a lot for that blog. I find myself reading more than actually downloading from it, but its's a great resource for that too.

When it comes to "killing music", I think downloading does threaten new music, music that is actually available for sale as a CD or an LP. The older releases, however, can probably be kept alive "artificially" by downloading. Especially the out of print things may see new releases because of downloading interest. I know I've discovered lots of old and new stuff that way the last ten years.

Glad you enjoy the blog GK, and i agree with your points about downloading new music to an extent, but for unsigned bands i think it can also be a great tool to get your music out there.
I think the bands who will suffer most from downloading are probably those with a bit of a profile, a couple of albums under their belts and who are trying to step up to the next level.
Why will anyone shell out for a new album when you can try it for free?
Unless it really blows you out of the water, where's the incentive to then go & buy it?
I beleive this hits bands of the stature of say, Children Of Bodom, Mastodon, In Flames etc. They can sell out large clubs in the U.S., or make up the bill for arena packages, but their sales don't seem to grow as a result of their road work despite their live reputations & drawing power.
Certainly not enough for any of them to step up & headline arenas.
After the Slayer's, Maiden's, Metallica's & Ozzy's are gone, who will headline Metal arena shows?
Sorry, i went off on a bit of a tangent there.
