Yes, I have requests, too..

First, let me explain why it took me so long to get started posting my Filter Records collection. The thing is, I was pretty damn sure I've got ALL Filter albums somewhere in my boxes. But, after some hours of rummaging through piles of dusty CDs, I must've admitted that there's something missing. Actually both Sunship albums and, what's more painful, Still Dancing On John Wayne's Head, the perfect collection of remixes of otherwise rather forgettable Dancing On John Wayne's Head by The Fire This Time.

I could easily live on and never hear those Sunship garage house creations again (the weakest stuff on Filter, IMHO) but The Fire This Time really hurts. So I tried to g**gle it up and found this funny little forum, globalnoises.org, and there it was! I was sooo happy! I've registered and my jaw dropped to the floor... To get a 320kbps copy of the album, I'm supposed to post 200 (yes, two hundred, it's not a typo) albums first. For comparison, the second Sunship album, which is also to be found there, is worth 30 posts. So instead of entertaining you my dear readers with the cool Filter stuff, I'm working at the coalmine, blimey, globalnoises. But s**t ain't that easy! The guys who run the forum probably see themselves as some kind of pirated music illuminati and one has to be promoted after 10 posts, then after 30 and then.. So I expect to have it finished sometimes around year 2525 or so...


What's the point of all this whining? There seem to be people on the net who do not hesitate to flog others like slaves just for running a server with a piece of out-of-the-box software and even have the guts to ask for donations! What their users get in return is what you get here and on others blogs with minimal hassle. Don't you kids just love me and other bloggers? Well you definitely should have. It's a jungle out there.


On the other hand I must say I love you, especially when you write and offer to share your collections with me. There's not much Future Vintage music that I don't already have so most of the time I have to kindly say thanks but no. To spare you valuable time, I've put together quite comprehensive list of requests which can be found in the comments section of this post. If you spend a minute reading through it and have some of those hard-to-finds and are willing to donate them, I'll love you even more;-)


I promise to post first three Filter platters tomorrow instead of pointless yaking. But the first Sunship album is still missing anyway, so if you happen to have it, share with me and help to complete the Dorado / Filter saga.


Stay tuned!
