    Libraries ALSO only allow their books to be BORROWED, which means you have
    to return them or else buy the book. So that really isn't an accurate
    analogy.

    Yeah,
    I picked it up when it first came out. I love Andy Sneap he is the best
    producer I have heard in a long time. He also did the enw Stuck Mojo
    album declaration of a Headhunter. Its rockin.

    I love the river dragon, and "inside four Walls" that song rips.

    The main issue is about being able to create a
    suitable duplicate. Still a pain in the rear to
    photocopy the whole book (but if you want to read
    online, it's a whole 'nother story, and yes, they'll
    whine).

    Not to go too far into nerd territory, but just
    imagine if they could create a "Star Trek" style
    replicator? You'd hear whining from everyone!

    "Computer, replicate me a 56" screen SONY HDTV."

    On the extra large ACME Replicator: "Computer, create
    me a 2001 Corvette Convertable."

    And of course, just to take this to it's logical and
    inevitable conclusion: "Computer, replicate Pamela
    Anderson, minus the tats".

    Maybe I can help. One thing is that they don't have a label. They record =
    all their stuff themselves without any backup from a record company. =
    When they have an album ready, they find someone who can handle the =
    distribution. So they don't have a company to push their music.. No one =
    gives them money to make videos. So they pretty much rely on their fans =
    spreading their music.=20
    I'm very happy to see that they are finally getting some attention. They =
    really are good, especially singer/guitar player Mattias Eklundh, who =
    incidentally lives not at all far from me. I don't exactly know him, but =
    I have met him a few times (my friend used to take guitar lessons from =
    him). Very nice guy. I've tried to get the jam to notice them before, =

    Cool. *listens* Good music. Reminds me of the early Galactic Cowboys
    stuff. Too bad about the lyrics.

    Is it just me or is anybody else tired of the complete lack of subtlety in
    "social commentary" lyrics? I've had enough of "World BAD! Angst GOOD!"
    to last me a lifetime.

    Still, I learned to tolerate Damn the Machine's lyrics, I could get used to

    To what's already been said, I would just add that napster isn't so much
    akin to a library as it is a 24-hour barnes&noble with a never-ending
    shopping spree.

    Also: Not only do libraries not let you keep the books(well, i keep
    mine. fuck 'em!), they never have the book on the shelves before it's
    released for sale to the public. And rarely do they have alternate
    first-drafts that the author never intended for us to read. And they
    generally have just one copy of anything, so only one person can borrow
    it at a time, which means if the other 99% of the population want that
    book asap, they'll just have to pay for it.

    All reasons why libraries suck and napster rocks. :-D

    This is the biggest misconception, Napster doesn't "distribute" anything. Napster is like a dating service. They put you
    in contact with someone else and then hand you off to them.

    Then a lot of people signed up for the wrong reason, unless one of the fan
    clubs used it as a selling point to signing up. The CD has always been a
    bonus that AFAIK has never been included in the price. I know specifically
    with the 96 CD, that the manufacturing cost came out of the band's pockets
    as their way of saying thanx to the fans. Whether this is still the case or
    not (considering that all the fan clubs now get the Xmas CD, and not just
    the English "International" FC) I don't know.

    But there's a good chance that this will be the last year of the Xmas CD
    anyway. Mike told me back in September that he plans to start selling other
    fan-club style CDs on DT's official website. First off would be re-issues of
    the Xmas CDs (for those that didn't get them originally), and if the record
    label doesn't create lots of trouble, then Mike will begin releasing
    official bootlegs. These bootlegs would then take the place of any further
    Xmas CDs.

    BTW - for those of you, who like me, were concerned that the value of our
    original pressings of the Xmas CDs would go down with the reissues, Mike
    plans to drop one or two tracks from the reissues and (I believe) have
    different artwork as well.

    Mike posted on his site that he got the masters out to whoever is
    responsible (can't remember who) and that it's now in their hands. Dunno
    what the hold up is - if it's manufacturing issues or other things, but it's
    not MP's fault.

    "Will I still get my Christmas CD if I post my cheque, today"
    blah, blah, blah

    I feel sorry for the people who actually put their own time into running the
    Fan Club, the shit they must have to put up with!

    As I understand it (from the Mailing List of the French Fan Club - which is
    excellently administered), the Christmas Edition of the French Fanzine (no
    29) are being sent out today because the Christmas CD has been further
    delayed and is no longer expected before early March, at best. As I
    understand it there have been a variety of issues relating to the content of
    the disk, material lost in the post etc.

    I don't know if the 'Theater of Dreams' Fanzine is affected by the same
    problem, however, it does surprise me that no one has put out a message (via
    Itchy's news list or whatever) to calm peoples worries. I suppose it would
    spoil all the fun of bitchin tho, wouldn't it. :-))

    Message-ID: <B6AF7354.8D1%twilightzone@mindspring.com>

    Lemmie start first off by saying Napster sucks(not in the same vein as Lars
    thinks it sucks though). I do use it but really, it does suck. It is only
    good if you want a couple of hit songs from a band. Most people don't keep
    whole albums in their library. It is also a pain to download full CDs. Go
    to cdnow or wherever and jot down all the songs then look for them one by
    one. There is also the partial songs that every once in a while you will
    accidentally download. Pain in the arse.

    Anyway, I - apparently unlike anyone else on the jam, am not made of
    $money$. I refuse to purchase one CD at a cost of $35(in the example of
    Freak Kitchen). Hell I refuse to buy a double disc at that price.
    Outrageous. I was going to buy the Rent 2 disc soundtrack for my girl for
    V-Day, but the only place that had it was Camelot for a price of $48. Yeah
    Right. Fuck Off Camelot. Manufacturing CDs is cheaper than cassettes, why
    the $8-$10 price difference. Record companies are screwing the public, and
    they know it. And after this Napster case, they will continue to do so.

     I don't have foreign contacts, and if some band from podunk Thailand or
    wherever is worried about a couple(hundred) people downloading their album
    overseas, then they should release it domestically. At least in the US, I
    mean come on, this is the land of milk and honey, I'm not paying more than
    $14 for a CD that costs less than a buck to make.
    And don't give me the band makes money in there somewhere thing. Crap.
    Total crap. I've read many times that a band makes little to nothing on CD
    sales, they all make it on touring, and merchandising. Stuff the record
    company doesn't control.

    Lets try something. The way sales should be done is like this $1-$2 for
    manufacturing. $5 for the record company, and $5 for the band. A CD should
    be no more than $12. When I walk into Camelot or Sam Goody and see a SINGLE
    CD for $17.99 or $18.99 I just laugh. Who in their right mind would pay
    such an outrageous amount of money. I don't know how they stay in business.
    Maybe that is why a Disc Jockey, Camelot, NRM, and HMV(I think that's what
    it was) all closed near me in the past couple of years.

    In conclusion:
    Napster to me was not about getting free music. It was about sticking it to
    the record companies, telling them we aren't going to take it anymore. Here
    let me put the lube on for them.

    feel free to debate, I'm curious about others thoughts. And I'm sure there
    are plenty that disagree.

    Oh and is there anyone else on the jam that can't get enough of Linkin Park?

    As summer ends here in Oz so to do the festivals. Not that there were really
    many heavy bands here this year for those anyway. Deep Purple will be here
    in March followed by Kiss in April. There are also rumours of Tool, Dio,
    Slash, Bon Jovi, Creed, Devin Townsend and Fear Factory all to tour at some
    point also. I for one certainly won't be holding my breath. These days,
    unless I am actually sitting at the venue on the night of the concert I
    don't even get my hopes up that the thing is even going to take place. We've
    had too many broken promises, cancellations and arsehole promoters screwing
    things up for us, it's no wonder that bands don't bother coming here.
    The local scene here in Melbourne is pretty healthy though as far as
    original bands go. Vanishing Point, Pegazus, Mortification and heaps of
    others. Look out for Krane also! (hehehe... had to get that plug in there!)

    And I wonder how many new fans Stratovarious has due to the availability of
    mp3's on Napster!!
    I for one have discovered a heap of bands that I otherwise would not have
    had the chance to hear.
    My cd collection is booming but my wallet is looking pretty sad!! Yes I have
    been BUYING most of what I have heard.
    What I have downloaded and did not like I would not have purchased anyway so
    the artist has lost nothing!!
    Jens I'm sure that there are alot more people in the world that are now
    tuned in to your music thanks to those evil mp3's!
    It's funny how Napster has over 500 million users yet the sales of cd's
    worldwide has risen 6% in the last year!!
    *things that make you go "hmmmmmm"*

    I never posted any such thing.

    All in all, your post says more about you, Mark Metzger <mmetzger@comversens.com>, than it does about me -- it betrays your general mental acuity. You may some day realize that's not always a good thing.

    ouch! well, i dont wanna get on either side......but i kinda remember some Jens mail (on this list, or the TEOF list, if he happens to be there too...can= t remember) about shoplifting some cd's as he was on tour or something. ohh well, maybe my brain is fucked up too. as seinfeld and costanza would say: "what a shame....." anybody has 100% accuracy about this matter? i=B4d say i=B4m 85% sure abo= ut this mail.

    And as i know Jens will be reading this, im gonna ask a question waaaaaay off topic: Strato had a gig in my hometown in Monterrey Mexico the day of your Bday last year, and a friend actually gave you a bottle of tequila. Did you gu= ys drink it before or after the show? Or did you just keep it? Just Curious....and that stuffed rat onstage was great! its not a rat actually= , its a tlacuache. its a marsupial! its as ugly as mick mars on helloween! = (or any day for that matter! hehehe)
