Porphyria Plan

In a recent topic you brought up Hoover. I had tried to get a hold of some mp3's a few years ago but couldn't find any. Flash to the present and I finally found a few songs and was blown away. I wish it wouldn't have taken so long. My question is really how does eveyone find the songs or sites to bands they listen to now? The problem I find is that some bands can be so obscure or have a name that is so common that it's near impossible to find through searching.

I use DC++ as peer to peer now and have had good luck finding what I want but still it's tough.

I'm new to this interweb lark. I tend to check the Rev website, Lamgoat etc for bands and read as much as i can. Now i can download the skies the limit.

Because you should go support the band and buy their album.

I have a friend who works in the music industry. He says that if you were to buy a bands t shirt & download the album instead of just buying the album , that band actually makes more money from the t shirt than the album.

Of course you should. It's good to mention support since it's inevitably going to be brought up when I mentioned p2p. You should always support local, DIY, or indie music if you want the music that you like to continue.


Sounds what some labels might do to signed bands. I end up usually walking away with shirts and cd's though.

jesus

ah i hate that. names like Oil and stuff. I just find people who have their music and have them send it to me.
