Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

THAT'S ME FUCKIN LOT - BLOG DOWN... Contact. Wait..Out.


The title sums it up.

God bless regular visitors & contributors like Herr Pauli & Martin.

Just sick of 1000++ hits a day with similar download traffic & next to nothing in return.

Admittedly it's not my own music though I toil to bring the best of blog / bootland to a wider audience.... eg the Jam repost conversions / upgrade for tonight took 4hrs alone...

Apologies to Martin & Pauli & I may see you soon when I get all me toys back in me pram.

REMEMBER : Oi have a significantly larger bootleg collection than yow (to paraphrase Harry Enfield - who looks like the Bramhall Nonce) & I could be persuaded to return... though I doubt it you ungrateful CUNTS

  3. Sad to hear it Mr. Ska :(
    But I certainly understand not wanting to put in so much time for so little in return. Apologies for the times I didn't write. Thanks again for all you've done :)

  12. Oh Skamanc,this is so sad news....
    Your work is great even without replies from the "Ungrateful Cunts" - DON T GIVE UP -
    The "GRATEFUL ONES" are always a minority in this Day-in Day-out stupidity,you know that,KEEP SHARING for the ones who Bless you in a daily basis.
    Hope you ll be back soon
    Take your time.

  13. Sorry to hear you're packing it in, mate - make sure you stay in touch.

    Thanks for turning me on to Traffic and lots of other stuff.

    I know what you mean about getting nothing back. Arecent post of mine has had around 250 downloads so far and about 5 people have said thanks. Others have had over 100 downloads and no one has taken 2 seconds to leave a comment. Anyway, I enjoy running the blog so I'll continue to do so for the time being.

    Anyway, thanks again mate - to you and your blog contributors.

    Cheers

  14. Thanks to each & evry one of you for the above comments. I've also had a load of e-mails - again, thanks for these.

    I've decided to continue with the blog, at least for the time being. So, it's business as usual, as the blog seems to mean such a lot to so many people, myself included.

    I'm not religious, but I can't think of an alternative to saying "Bless You All".

  15. Thanks for continuing the blog. I have to own up as one of the idiots who never left a comment. Won't do it again. I've had some fantastic stuff from here and I want to say Thanks!!! Cheers Fatbhoyjim

  16. The real problem Jim was the anonymous malicious e-mailer. I had a bee in me bonnet yesterday anyway & when I got a message from him I just went nuclear...

  17. Skamanc, lovely to have you back.
    The thing with anonymous malicious e-mailers is that they are 100% cowards, gutless wankers and not worth the shit on your shoe.

    Great thing about your e-mail is block sender. Banish the numpty twonk to your block sender list and remember a lot of people appreciate your blog.

    All the best

  18. Thanks again for the growing number o comments. I have blocked the lon as a sender tough he's been using various addresses & prividers. Bit of a electronic stalker apparently...

    should set up his own site : nonces r us

  19. I've downloaded a few, but haven't always left comments each time. I'm really pleased you have decided to give it another go. Even if I don't download, I'm always interested in the eclectic mix that you blog.

    If you do continue, consider it lesson learnt and will comment each time I download.

    With much gratitude.

  20. Know the feeling, even when I called it a day with the music blogging only 1 person said thanks despite over 100k visitors and about 10k downloads :(
    Glad you've carried on though as I wouldn't have found ya :)
    Have been giving it a miss for the last 2 years so got some catching up to do.
    Thanks for the stuff I've found tonight, gonna go through the bluebeat stuff to see if there is any I haven't got .. cheers :)
