We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS AFTER 2015 AND A LIMIT OF 3 EVERY DAY)! All the rest official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy.
Enjoy!

Yesterday, I received the urgent call from a New York-based copyright law firm to remove the blog immediately. I'm very skeptical about authenticity because it first appeared in The Gangster's "The Gangsters" comments, then secondly in "... and now for something completely different! 414" under anonymous. I think that such an office would first contact Google to have the blog removed and certainly not invite me anonymously. Unfortunately, I deleted these two comments immediately, so that I can not reproduce the exact wording.
What do you think about it? Should I close the blog or should I better wait and see what comes up? Maybe it was all a fake!

THE POOH STICKS
The Pooh Sticks made many new fans with the guitar-powered pop
of their Great White Wonder album, but the follow-up Million Seller
is their definitive release. The title was probably meant to be ironic,
but this album sold disappointingly, especially by major label standards
(it was the Pooh Sticks' first album for Zoo/BMG).
Too polished and produced to garner alternative credibility,
yet not the kind of record destined to get any mainstream exposure,
Million Seller slipped between the cracks. It's a shame,
because the album's infectious melodies, wistful lyrics and
scrumptious arrangements deserved a much wider audience.
This album may have turned off listeners used to the rougher edges of the
Pooh Sticks previous material, but Million Seller is truly a classic pop record.

@ RYP
I would definitely wait until you are sure about authenticity.
I reckon someone could have seen all the recent concerns and changes, and it may be a mischief maker.
They would definitely not be anonymous either.
Just think of the junk phone calls we get.
If they send any more, request their full details ie. name, postal address, e-mail address etc. so you can check it out if they are legit.
One they give it, look up the person/firm on the internet and contact them via the official details from the website and ask if they have tried to contact you.

@ Bob W., I do understand the concept of using an example
and let me explain it:
With your suggestion to get an exception was based on "I
want the Von Karajan box set ASAP" and want to get a
V.I.P. therapy among other people, behave like a kind of
king on earth. So you give RYP the wrong
example/information (240:3=80 instead of 240-70=170:3=
56 2/3 --> 57) to make it believe that it is worse than
in reality. This is for me a clear example of trying to come out
of the rules. Am I the only one to see that? No, see next
comment published after your suggestion/trap same day:

I love how some of the multi-posters are trying to work around
your new rules, yet trying to make it logical.
hahahahaha
Did RYP step into your suggestion/trap? No! See next comment
of RYP after your suggestion/trap same day:
Bob W.,
it remains: 3 CDs all in all per person, per day!
How often do I have to repeat it? How many misreadings are
there? It's all said, everyone can read it!
Now I wonder am I RUDE? Am I RUDE to see and tell the
truth? No!
THE TRUTH IS RUDE!! Not me!
RYP, you're under observation (that's clear). Go your way and wait & see.

Hi, I put Holly Grove Vol 3 in:-
WEDNESDAY, 17 OCTOBER 2018
…and now for something completely different! 393
(I would post the web link, but I've promised someone else an upload today, and I've only one left).
If you have any problems let me know, and I can put the link up another day.
It's a terrible thing jealousy could be a competition type blog who wants to be #1.It seems to me that there want you to buy new technology so there can make money but not to use it, hypocritical capitalists
RYP - I agree with Bob. Anyone demanding that a site be shut down must give their identity and prove that they have the authority to make such a demand.
To RYP
You ask advise to the TZ community to close the blog or not.
First my view:
It's always strange that some copyright law firms (if they are
real) send message without their names and adresses. A real
copyright law firm must be registered under a name, adress
and Register number and always use this by communication.
Not so strange the timing of publish this message, because
the last days we are talking about the possible closure of
this blog, give throlls who's still sneaking around this
blog, the possibility to get that they want.
So, with this in mind, I hope I say correctly: If this blog must
be closed by law, and I mean by a real registered copyright
firm, let them closed the blog not you. So I think this is
work of some throlls and my advise to you is: wait and see.

Hi RYP I think this firm was the one that made Blog Jukebox of Jake and Maria to go private, in case this info is of any help to you.
I would have a break for a couple of weeks - a lot of blogs under attack it seems
@ RYP
Just because the say they are Harry Fox Agency, it doesn't necessarily mean they actually ARE Harry Fox Agency. Anyone could say anything.
As mentioned above, if they have the correct authority, they will make whatever happens happen anyway.
I think it is best just to wait and see.
RVP, you can keep this comment private if you like. I have no problem with your new rules - more power to you! If you get an average of 50 posts a day, half of them post 3 links a day - thats 75 albums. Surely that is enough. Your message from the 'Law Firm?' undoubtedly a fake. I personally if I were you would look at your overall visibility on the web, rather than the number of downloads. Here's Amazon's analysis of your site.
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/twilightzone-rideyourpony.blogspot.com
It shows hits, not downloads. you can see that your hits have spiked enormously in october. That increases your visibility. But I really wouldn't be too worried.
Google your site and you'll get an idea of your current visibility. If you are on Blogger, you are going to be tracked, that's all there is too it. Long term you could look at changing your blogging platform if your current operation becomes too much of a problem. If you have friends who are tech savvy, I would consult them and get some ideas. If you really like what your are doing (and I think you love it!) you'll find a way to keep going. Your site makes a lot of people happy.
Remember the words of Buckaroo Banzai: 'Hey, hey, hey, hey-now. Don't be mean; we don't have to be mean, cuz, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.' and 'History is-a made at night. Character is what you are in the dark' !
To RYP
I forget something else to say in my last comment. Maybe
you remember Jukebox City blog. This blog was closed by
the owner after a message of a copyright firm (fake?). He
also publish this message in his last comment before the
closure. But after reading this message I still wonder if
this comes from a real copyright firm. Let clear myself:
In this message was clearly printed name and address.
Also this kind of messages comes with words like
immediately closure etc. but how can you response
immediately to them when there no phone nrs. or e-mail
addressses printed in the message? Must you write a
letter to them which takes maybe 1 week to arrive to
that address? Well maybe I know why there were no phone
nrs. & e-mail addresses. If you contact immediately per
phone or e-mail and this message were a fake one, you
get an answer like this: A message send from us to you?
We don't know about that message.
I try to say that every throll with a little bit of brains,
can create such kind of messages. They only need to omit the
most important info (phones nrs., e-mail addresses & register
nr.) from the message to believe you it's real. In this way
you can't check if there are legit.
PS. This message was also send by Harry Fox Agency to
Jukebox City.
Hi Ryp:
I'd ride it out until you get something more convincing. What you're describing isn't the way a copyright lawyer or a publisher would approach it.
IF it ever comes in a more convincing form, and you feel it's legitimate, why not go private? It would reduce a lot of trolling and anonymous posting.
Sorry you're dealing with this, and thanks for all you and Gyro do.

Was there phones nrs., e-mail addresses & register nr. in your
message of HFA? If not you have get the same message as
Jukebox City.
Every throll can google to a copyright firm address using their
addres without phones nrs., e-mail addresses & register nr. for
their fake messages.
So I say again: wait & see. If there no response from HFA or
they haven't yet close down your blog, it's just only a
victory for the whole blog land!
Hi Ryp
I must say i would be not be very happy to see my favourite music blog close. This site is my first port of call, everyday. I don't post comments on here very often, but is the past was just to say thanks or post the odd link for a request. But thats mainly so that this comments section does not get full of thank you for this and that all the time.
I always post as Anonymous but always leave my name at the end of the comment!
At the end of the day only you can decide what to do with your site!!
But it's seems very strange to me, that since you have set some rules on the number of links people can post on here each day, you get this notice!! Some regular posters have had their noses push out of joint and not happy. I have downloaded a lot of music from the links here and am very grateful.
I would just hang fire and see if you get something offical!!! I feel is just some with a grudge against the site, being stupid!!
Going back to the posting rules, i thought of a loop hole, maybe you want to block, by posting as anonymous, any one could post as many links as they want? but then certain people would not be thanked, and not getting their egos boosted!!
Hope you stay open!!
Reb
Hello Ryp,
I have been a long time anonymous on this great blog and I guess it's time to share my thoughts.
One alternative would be to go peer to peer with solutions like DC++ or AirDC ...
How would one explain that some huge platform are still up ?
They are password protected and you can control who's allowed to connect.
I am not a blogger so this is my only way to pass this message.
If you think you can leave a mail or any other way to contact you, please do so.
Hope this will help to reunite all those fantastic people who are on this blog.

I also believe more and more in a fake. This unprofessional performance does not go with an agency like Harry Fox Agency: 10 min. after the first commentary (The Gangsters "The Gangsters") came the second ("... and now for something completely different! 414") with words like "You're guilty ... etc. That sounds all too sweaty and not at all sovereign.
It sounds like the usual trolls who talk about themselves in the plural to demonstrate their greatness ("we've noticed ..." etc).
And maybe some of the usual friendly and nice people here are not as nice and friendly as it always seems, now according to the new rules ...
I will not post for a few days except the daily "... and now for something completely different!". Then we will see. Until then, your suggested solutions and comments on this issue are very welcome!
Genesis-1972 - Foxtrot[flac]
Following the identity-sealing statement that was Nursery Cryme, Genesis were now intent on capitalising on their momentum. They continued to play every college gig going while writing song suites about godlike entities overseeing our destiny and dressing like a fox on stage. An average life for a mid-level band in the UK in 1972, then.
They’d fully incorporated the blast of a Mellotron into their sound and Phil Collins jazz leanings were pushing them in a slightly more interesting direction, away from the ponderous prog nonentity that awaited contemporaries like Gentle Giant. What’s more their live sound had become bolstered by the addition of Mike Rutherford’s bass pedals, allowing him to add yet more ringing twelve string into the mix while blasting the front three rows with his feet. Opener “Watcher Of the Skies”, with its tricky time signatures, displays this power to the max.
What follows is a consolidation of the promise shown on Nursery Cryme. The first big difference is the production, which suddenly brings all that chiming acoustic filigree up close and personal. The songs flow easily and the cod-historical tendency is toned down in favour of science fiction (“Watcher…”), an ill-judged ‘contemporary issues’ song (“Get ‘Em Out By Friday”) and biblical allegory (“Supper’s Ready”). You do still get the history-as-moral song with “Timetable” and one more which, for no good reason at all apart from the awful pun contained in the title, is about King Canute: “Can-Utility And The Coastliners”.
But the really big stuff on Foxtrot resides in their first bona fide masterpiece: The side-long epic, “Supper’s Ready”. These days Peter Gabriel himself probably couldn’t tell you exactly what the whole thing’s about, but it involves more puns, the Book of Revelations, atomic war and flowers. Someone probably has a webpage explaining it all…But never mind, for it’s an exhilarating, if slightly lumpy ride through some of the band’s best writing and playing. The best sections include the multi-voiced romp through insanity of “Willow Farm” and the clever-cloggery of “Apocalypse in 9/8 (co-starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)”. Guess which time signature that was in…
It allowed Gabriel to do even more dressing up, making their shows the hottest tickets in town. Unfortunately the album still stalled on the brink of the big league which contained proggers like Yes and Crimson. Genesis just needed one little extra push. And their next album would supply that. But with Foxtrot everyone had begun to take notice.[BBC]

Baby Love Affair-Buttercup[SA]1975
There is no denying that the introduction to Buttercup’s ‘Baby Love Affair’ with Eugene Havenga’s high pitched wails is a little reminiscent of First Class’ ‘Beach Baby’, however the song does not continue to follow the one that it sounds a bit like other than that it, like ‘Beach Baby’, carries on to become a high quality pop song.
‘Baby Love Affair’ was the first hit that the songwriting team of Ken Levine and Ernest Schroder had in South Africa as it climbed to number 7 on the Springbok Top 20. It started life during a lunch break when Ken Levine was messing around with a piano at EMI’s offices. Ernest walked in and 30 minutes later that had a ‘teeny bopper’ hit on their hands, all they needed was someone to record it. Cue Ernest’s brother Robert who was a producer. He drafted in Havenga (who would later be heard on Julian Laxton Band’s hits like ‘Blue Water’) to do the falsetto wailings and a demo of the song.
However when it came to a final product, they kept the falsetto bits from Eugene and Robert drafted in a band from Pretoria that featured Lefty Daniels, Stephen Swann, Philip Colyn, John “Fluffy” de Kock and Boet Spies. At that stage Buttercup were not well known, so a marketing campaign featuring cardboard hearts that contained a lollipop and a message saying “Have you heard Buttercup sing Baby Love Affair” which was sent out to stores and DJs across the country. Peter Feldman of The Star newspaper plugged the song and the rest, as they say, is a lekker local song.[1001 SA songs you must hear before you go deaf blog]

Hello RYP,
whatever your decision may be, please do not go the unclegil way,
means no chance for all your blog lovers.
We are all in any way old people that need your kind of blog.
In our youth there was not such a possibility to dive into so much
good music. That makes us happy and the feeling to be young a second
time.
When there's no other chance, go private like jukeboxcity.
There I'm a guest with my email and can look for good Oldies further on.
I think there must be other ways too, see canna or tjscountry,
but don't know how they do it.
In any case, I hope that it goes a good way.
I appreciate your work in the twilightzone blog.
Rolf
First, just like to thanks Gyro for the last couple of "Do The 45's".
RYP, you've been down this road before, please, do whatever you feel necessary to keep TZ alive. Spent many happy days giving & taking from here and hope it will continue and will support all your requests.
cheers,ELtel
Hi June! I posted Book of hours & Ghost of love about a week ago,so if you go back and look it will be there!
Cheers
We all hope the Harry is a fake. All good comments above. You are doing all you can to keep this "Best Of Blogs" blog going. Sharing my comps is one of my greatest joys. i hope hey get rhythm and uncle Gil didn't stop due to fake threats!
RYP - My two cents, for what they're worth. If an agency like Harry Fox really wanted to shut you down, they'd just make it happen without warning. I don't know the motivations of why someone would want this place shut down, which largely shares out of print and rare stuff, while other blogs that put out new releases seem to go on unfettered. Sounds like someone is just being a jerk, which is a shame.
Sounds like you are headed on the correct, cautious course. And thanks for all you have done to keep this alive all these years...
Steve
Do what you have to to feel safe I just wanted to say if you do close this blog then I will miss you as I still do willards wormholes
love frogs
RYP
Sounds like some moron just fucking with you.
I would think that a legitimate request would be made directly to you, not in a comment section!
I can't tell you how happy I am with the new limited daily post rule.
I'll add one more comment on the multi postings.
Anyone on here who has downloaded multi posts, and then other things, and not from just THIS blog, and say they have listened to it all, is a fucking liar. I don't listen as much as I did in the past, but I listen a lot, and can tell you that if I never downloaded anything else, it would take me at LEAST a year to catch up on what I have downloaded.
And I know, that you know, that is the truth.
Hallo RYP,
ich besuche Deinen Blog schon seit Jahren regelmässig und wäre sehr traurig, wenn das nicht mehr möglich sein sollte.
Ich glaube, Du hast Recht mit der Vermutung, dass einer der lieben Nutzer ein verkappter Troll ist, der von den neuen Regeln in seinem Selbstdarstellungsdrang beschränkt wird. Da gab es in der Vergangenheit so einige, die den Schwanzvergleich mit immer mehr und mehr Musikangebot nicht lassen konnten. Wenn du mich fragst - ich würde den dir ja unbekannten Nutzern nicht mehr so viel Freiraum geben oder ihn gleich ganz einstellen und nur noch deine eigenen Postings veröffentlichen. Vielleicht auch als geschlossener Blog auftreten. Das Überangebot an Musik in den letzten Monaten war ja auch nicht immer eine qualitative Bereicherung.
Ich drücke Dir jedenfalls beide Daumen verbunden mit einem grossen Dankeschön an Dich und an Gyro.
Du musst diesen Kommentar nicht unbedingt veröffentlichen. Es war mir ein Anliegen, Dir persönlich Dank zu sagen und auf bessere Zeiten zu hoffen.

@RYP I think you're being trolled.
Here's why:
1) I can't imagine why a real copyright law firm would post a cease and desist order in the comment section. That just doesn't make sense.
2) If a real lawyer was trying to reach you through the comment section, why wouldn't he leave his name and contact information?
3) If they wanted to take you down, they'd contact blogger.com directly and this blog would vanish just like that.
My suggestion would be to just ride it out and see what happens.
Sounds like a "fake".
Wait & See.
I was hacked without a single warning two days ago and three years of posts disapeared before I changed my ID and PW .
I was in conflict with a "company" that was selling my homemade compilations, but I doubt they were responsible.
I think a hacker had to take the opportunity to exercise his talents.
All I have left are posts whose links are dead and which I put in drafts.
I hope nothing will happen to you.
Good luck!
hi RYP
After reading all the messages till now i can only suggest what the follower "notsoyoung" wrote:
"If you think you can leave a mail or any other way to contact you, please do so."
For me as for the community on TZ, it is VERY IMPORTANT to put an email address so we can contact you for further evolution
In a few weeks I Have dissapeard 5 blogs that i visited daily and always the same problem we don't know were they are or what's going on:(no mail address)
It seems and I read it on other blogs there are companies (well paid)to track not only blogs but also the hostings like zippyshare an others
I know 2 blogs closed because ALL the download links are become invalid!! this happend here also a time ago for a few links but when ALL is away!
You know best what to do,nevertheless there are different ways to avoid these problems for the future:
1) do like JAKE & go private but,don't forget a contact address before it's too late
2) create a "community" on P2P
3)...

@ Uncle Gil
Thank you for all the fantastic music you have put on your site over the years. I for one will miss your site greatly - it was one of the best on the internet.
hiya RYP,
scheiß situation. aber udo hat immer gesagt: keine panik!
denke auch, wenn hollywood oder der vatikan euren wunderbaren blog schließen wollen, dann fakeln die nicht
lange. das geht ganz schnell. daher sollten wir nicht soviel zeit und gedanken darüber verlieren was diese seltsamen kommentare von
harry bedeuten könnten, sondern darüber, wann und wo wir uns alle wieder treffen, wenn hier das licht ausgemacht wurde...
finde es auch anmaßend über qualität der beiträge hier zu urteilen, musik geschmäcker sind nun mal vielfältig und das macht diese geschichte hier aus,
habe selbst in den letzten monaten die ich hier sein durfte, einiges dazu gelernt und neue musikalische impulse bekommen, dafür danke
ich allen hier, ganz besonders euch beiden, gyro & ryp das ihr uns diese möglichkeit gegeben habt...ich selbst habe in den letzten monaten
hier viel weitergeben, was ich woanders jahrelang gesucht und gefunden habe, das ist für mich der grund hier aktiv zu sein, nehmen und geben...auch
sollten wir uns bewußt sein, das es auch andere zeiten gab, ohne zippy, mega wo es nicht so komfortabel war wie heute...auch diese zeiten können
sich ganz schnell wieder ändern. daher sollten wir uns respektieren und nicht untereinander bekämpfen, anfeinden...das wollen die doch nur...
habe auch immer wieder mich selbst dabei reflektiert und will niemanden, oder gar diesen blog mit meinen aktivitäten hier in gefahr bringen, was ganz besonders
in diesen zeiten auch mit links politischen inhalten zu leicht passieren kann, so habe ich bewusst die extrem politsch auch in deutschland verfolgten
kurdischen musikgruppen nicht hier weiterverteilt, obwohl das dringender den je ist...und mich nur auf "moderate" muskiker beschränkt...
anyway, ich hoffe das ihr beiden nicht in den panik-modus geratet, wäre doch zu schade um diese geschichte hier, neulich war ich noch in 2008
am anfang eueres blog und habe gestaunt, wow seit 2008 gibt es das jetzt, wahnsinn! und wollte die tage im november 2018 einen repost von euch aus
dem November 2008 hochladen, weil ich die alben auf einem server in brasilien vor wochen aktiv gefunden habe und die links hier natürlich nicht
mehr funktionieren. zehn jahre twilightzone-rideyourpony jubeliläums post :-) also haltet durch! freiheit für ryp & gyro. musik ist eine waffe!
so, nun jage ich das noch durch den google translator, mit meinem bescheiden englisch packe ich das nicht. mal sehen was da raus kommt.
hiya RYP,
so, nun jage ich das noch durch den google translator, mit meinem bescheiden englisch packe ich das nicht. mal sehen was da raus kommt.
so, now I'm still chasing through the google translator, with my modest english I can not do that. Let's see what happens.
fucking situation. but udo always said: no panic!
Also, if Hollywood or the Vatican wants to close your wonderful blog, do not torch it
Long. that will certainly be fast. Therefore, we should not waste so much time and thought about what these strange comments from
harry, but about when and where we all meet again, when the light is turned off ...
think it also presumptuous to judge the quality of the contributions here, music tastes are very varied and that makes this story here,
have even in the last months I was allowed to be here, learned a lot and get new musical impetus, thank you
all of you here, especially you two, gyro & ryp that you have given us this opportunity ... myself in recent months
Passing on a lot here, what I have been looking for and finding elsewhere for years, that is the reason for me to be active, take and give ... also
We should be aware that there were other times without zippy, mega where it was not as comfortable as today ... even these times can
change again very quickly. Therefore, we should respect each other and not fight against each other, enemies ... that's what they want ...
I've always reflected on myself and I do not want anyone, or even this blog with my activities here in danger, which is very special
in these times too easily with left political contents can happen too easily, so I consciously pursued the extremely politsch also in Germany
Kurdish music groups are not redistributed here, although the more urgent is ever ... and limited me only to "moderate" musician ...
Anyway, I hope that you both did not get into the panic mode, it would be too bad about this story here, the other day I was in 2008
At the beginning of your blog and were amazed, wow since 2008, there is now, madness! and wanted the days in november 2018 a repost of you
uploading November 2008 because I found the albums on a server in Brazil weeks ago and of course the links here are not
more work. ten years ago twilightzone-rideyourpony jubeliläums post :-), so stay tuned! freedom for ryp & gyro. music is a weapon!
I agree with some of the others. If it was a legit complaint they would just shut it down. No warning.
Take a deep breath. Hold it. Let it out slowly. Relax your shoulders.
You are in no danger. Nothing bad is going to happen to you.
Consider that you might be overreacting to something that "might" happen.
It's completely obvious that you are being trolled.
Do not let Internet assholes get to you like this.
Stop trying to make new rule after new rule, trying to deflect an attack that's not likely to ever happen. This is slow suicide. If the copyright Nazis wanted to go after you, there's nothing magic about 2015 or 3 albums per poster per day. This is delusional in the extreme.
Remember, the very worse than can happen is that you will get an official notice (not an anonymous comment) to take down any offending content. You are contemplating doing this to yourself? Why?
Again, relax, remain calm, and stop jerking yourself around.
Please.
I hope you decide to keep on truckin' with this blog; if not, and you set up a private site, I hope you let us know how to contact you.
Whatever you folks decide, I can only thank you for all the wonderful music over the years, and the same goes to all the kindly posters who have contributed, too!
Moin moin RYP,
über ein Jahr habe ich diverse Schwierigkeiten beim Download gehabt, nichts als Probleme, habe alles umgestellt und erneuert oder erweitert, gestern fertig geworden. Und jetzt diese Nachricht von dir, das sind ja wirkliche Probleme. Und es tut mir sehr, sehr leid, daß deine phantastische Arbeit so hintertrieben wird. Dieses Erzeugen von Unsicherheit und Angst um diesen einmaligen Blog ist eine riesige Schweinerei, eine Bedrohung deiner Arbeit für deine Musikfreunde.
Wahrscheinlich geilen sich die Täter auch noch an unseren Kommentaren auf und mischen anstachelnd mit. Ich kann mir vorstellen, daß Ruhe und normales, ruhiges Tagesgeschäft mit wenigen Posts den Tätern den Spaß verderben kann. Sicher bin ich ebenfalls, daß es sich um Fakes handelt, dadurch wird es aber nicht besser.
Auffällig ist die Häufung in letzter Zeit, gerade Uncle Gil, jetzt TZ.
Der Vorschlag für eine andere Ebene um das Thema zu diskutieren ist nach meiner Meinung sehr gut. Du solltest das auch nur mit sehr guten Freunden tun, von denen du weißt nicht hintergangen zu werden. Falls du privat gehst wäre ich gerne dabei, auch wenn du im letzten Jahr fast nichts von mir gelesen hast.
Privat bei Jukebox City klappt jedenfalls sehr gut und wird bei mir jetzt wieder mehr werden.
Ich wünsche dir, daß der böse Spuk bald vorbei ist. Toi toi toi für deinen Blog!

(Mein Beitrag muss nicht veröffentlicht werden, wenn du möchtest, dann tue es)
You're being trolled. There are a number of comment over the last couple of months that use names or are in keeping with the very dim nature of a Dutch troll. For example, there are comments made where an anonymous user thanks "hanst" for fulfilling a request when in fact there was NO comment made by any "hanst" where "hanst" fulfilled a request, etc. "hanst" is a "notorious" troll.
Law firms do not hack social media sites just to muck around with your posts. Moreover, considering the vagaries of email, a law firm would send you a letter by post AFTER they first extracted your info from Google/blogger/your IP provider, etc.
I hope you continue your blog. You all impress me as stand-up people, and I enjoy coming here for all the new discoveries, the reviews, etc. ...spend a little time amongst a group of people from all walks with their own contributions, likes, anecdotes, etc. which makes the music even better.

RYP, I agree with some of the other folk that it's likely someone fucking with you. I recall earlier this Fall that you lowered the boom on a particular poster, and we've certainly seen our share of trolls here. Maybe the same person? Retaliation much? Regardless, do what you deem safe and be well. I truly appreciate what you and Gyro have done here.
As we say in Australia, they sound like shit-stirrers. I personally don’t think that’s the approach a real firm would make. Im sure you’ve googled any business name supplied, and if there wasn’t one, that omission itself speaks to it being a hoax. The timing is interesting. It can’t be pleasant for you to receive that though. All the best. Ace
I hope Butterboy is not going away because he ofyen had very interesting posts. He should start a blog too.
RYP, sorry about the comment about you being rude, I had only seen one posting about the new rules when I posted my response. With so many sites under fire, I completely understand your actions, and again humbly apologize for my comment.
RYP, the demand to shut down your site is phony. If it were legitimate, your ISP would be notified, and whatever laws that they feel have been broken will be spelled out with appropriate legal citations. If you ever get a real shut down notice (which I hope never happens), you will know it, and all contact info for the law firm will be included.
TheSingleGuy45 - You are very wrong, I do not care if the rest of The Von Karajan set gets posted or not (I have the Von Karajan Gold Series 30 CD box set put out in 2008, and 240 discs is overkill for me). That's up to Butter Boy.Do not read things that aren't there into my comment. An example is an example - you should have learned that is school, but I guess you missed those years,. I picked the Von Karajan, because it was current I could have used the Grateful Dead - Trips Around the Sun 80 CD box set, and the comment would've still been the same.
Again, you have read into my comment something that was not there, I guess you are the most important person, and have decided that I can not make any suggestions to RYP and GYRO1966.
An attitude like yours may cause someone to try and get TZ shut down. Let's all try to just get along and not throw out accusations you know nothing about. TZ should be a place for sharing, RYP & GYRO1966 are doing everything they can to keep it going, let's not muck it up with squabbling.
If 3 CDs a day keeps this site open, I am all for it. When I first posted my suggestions, I thought RYP might be open to suggestions. Apparently this was already well thought through and finalized when it was first posted. My mistake, no reason to, attack someone's math skills and yes 240 divided by 3 is still 80, and is still a valid EXAMPLE.
I read Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and I know what can happen.
So "Don't panic", there are also Slartibartfass, petunias and the fish ...
In this sense!
don't have time to read all the comments. this may have been suggested.
a couple of my favorite jazz sites of the past stayed alive for a long time by this method: after coming under attack they would shut down for a week or two, then create a new site with a new url slightly altered from the original, then notify former visitors by email when they were back in operation.
good luck, RYP, and thanks for everything.
@ Professor RnR,
Thanks for all your hard work in continuing this excellent series!
RYP,
Can I suggest you consider what the normal legal process for internet copyright complaints in the US is (its easily Googled) and compare it to the behaviour of those currently hassling you and make an informed judgement based on that. From the little you hsve said there is a significant variance between what should happen and what you have experienced but only you know the full detail.
Hello RYP,
I’ve read your comment and then comments of TZ’rs to this comment. All are in the same tone: you have enemies, more than 50% chance that these threats are created by trolls. I especially liked Rolf’s comment: “We are all in any way old people that need your kind of blog.” I’m not recommending to hide/encrypt our activity. We are not stealers, probably many of us have spent a fortune buying 45s, LPs and CDs. Now, we have more time, time for sharing our passion with others. I’ve been thinking about limiting linked CDs to 40s, 50s & 60s but Jukeboxcity has limited his blog to this period and received the same warning.
I think that your decision is correct: to stop posting for some time and leaving “and now for something…” gate opened. Anyway, please accept my words of appreciation for your fantastic work and let’s hope that the Zone will stay opened.
Use an overseas web address or a dot com, I don't think they can bother you over that (but I could be wrong) I seem to remember a blog doing that a few years ago that kept getting taken down and problem solved. As far as the cease & desist order, obviously fake. The links in the comment section do not show up in any search engine, so if that is where the offending material is, someone in here is a rat and turning you in. Anyway, just my 2 cents. good luck with it all!!
~~John
@RYP, I agree with erasmus above. Or do like Zero G and have a new blog url listed unobtrusively on your page; in case the google cops close up shop, your community can still find you. Or better yet, go to a private platform, and require an email address for comments.
-Peacenik
PS - love your new posting rules. Too much of a good thing was,,, just too much.
@ RYP
Escibo en español para expresarme mejor.
Mi experiencia como blogger es que las quejas por los derechos de autor, primero van a los servidores, Zippyshere me ha borrado archivos aleatoriamete varias veces, Mega eliminó mi cuenta por quejas de copyright, despues de dos advetencias. Después recurren a Blogger, pero antes de cerrar tu cuenta te da una primera advertencia.
Solo he tenido una reclamación directa, a traves de los comentarios, de parte de Crypt Records, planteada correctamente y firmada. Se solucionó sin problemas eliminando la entrada.
Por eso dudo de esa amenaza, los cobardes no avisan y los valientes usan unos métodos mas sinceros.
De todas formas, entre cerrar el blog tu y que te lo cierren, escojo la segunda opción, el resultado es el mismo.
Te recomiendo contactar con Mr. Eliminator de Surfadelic, al que le cerraron su blog original y te puede contar muchas cosas.
Saludos y suerte.

When I was a kid, I didn't believe in trolls. Yet here I am, a senior citizen, believing in the existence of trolls. I also believe in the work (and play) you are doing here. It's hard to believe there is that much interest in killing obscure rockabilly and 45rpm b-sides, but I suppose it could happen; I've seen many sites disappear all of a sudden, some to return, others never to be heard from again. So just in case you disappear one day without warning, I want to make sure you hear a giant THANK YOU from me, and I'm sure from many, many others. And thank you to everyone who has shared. Meanwhile, we're all hanging in there with you, because WE sure as heck won't be hanging up our rock n roll shoes. We're with you, whatever happens and whatever you decide. Rock on.
Besides, I'm curious to see just how many Do the 45 volumes you've got in you...
(I wonder how many jukeboxes to picture, even just for a Best-of setup in your house.)
Hey RYP, don't worry too much and remember not matter where you go there you are. Keep rockin' we are with you.
RYP--Thank you so much for this blog. I follow it daily, and it will hurt if it goes down. Not only because we share the same musical taste and I grab everything you post. I'll also miss the community that's been created here. It really is a significant part of my life. Thanks for all you've done and godspeed!
RYP
If it is them, they know who you are.
If it's not them don't bring yourself to their attention.
Just wait and see. Play it cool.
Boy, boy, crazy boy
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go
But not like a yo-yo school boy
Just play it cool, boy
Real cool!
Contact the owner of revolution rock , they are now on their 12th incarnation. TBH , i think it's a troll , your isp would be all overe you like a rash
Very troubling development. I also think this is simply internet troll, but one can never be so sure.
I wish to say at this time, The Half-Man, Half Preacher predicted this once a year ago when this format became new, and the music locust of the world descend upon Twilight Zone. This is always the way of music blog!
It saddens I to see that the GREAT Twilight Zone to be in jeopardy for the sake of pride and greed. Today Half-Man, Half-Preacher pray for RYP.
Hanst is not Hans Devente aka Hanzun aka Thank You aka one thousand other ID.
Their English language styles are too different. You can spot Hans from 1000 miles away; not the case with Hanst.
RYP /Gyro "Protect yourself at all times" lads. I wouldn't be touching gloves with trolls though.
I've had depression for over 10 years and the last 5 or 6 have been made FAR MORE ENJOYABLE by this blog. Joined a mental health peer support group in few months ago - troll city! More fakes and shell-profiles than genuine types by about 5:1. You two know there are numerous genuine music fans on here. Loads of good advice above imho. If it goes under MASSIVE BEARHUGS and THANKS! J

@ RYP,
I do not believe that anyone has ever received a real "urgent call from a New York-based copyright law firm to remove the blog immediately." Takedown notices go directly to the hosting service (in this case Google), not the allegedly "infringing" end user (in this case you). IP Law firms strike without warning as directed by their corporate clients. Hosting services respond by removing the account or etc. at once, unless the target happens to be a paying customer of theirs. If the target IS a paying customer, the hosting service ignores the takedown notice, until or unless an actual lawsuit is filed.
For over a decade U.S. based IP Law firms ran an extortion racket targeting U.S. Bit Torrent users - and random victims "accused of being" Bit Torrent users. They threatened to bankrupt their victims in Court unless paid thousands of dollars at once. Then a legal challenge to that racket finally found its way into a Court with an honest Judge, who fined the firm in question into bankruptcy and pulled their license to practice law. The rest of our IP Law firms stopped making extortion demands at once.
What we seem to have here is a troll at work. The longer we keep talking about him (it's probably a male), the longer it will take him to submit a fake takedown notice to Google just to see what happens. It's probably the same troll who knocked down two music blogs in the last few weeks, possibly more. Top candidates: A blogger who makes money from download service affiliate programs, and considers TZ an "unfair competitor". Or someone who sells vinyl records online, and again considers TZ a competitor. Or, less likely, someone with a personal grudge against a frequent Completely Different poster.
A point to ponder: WordPress is free, domain registration and hosting service cost about $20 USD per month on average. Migrating the Zone to that platform would put it in the "paying customer" category. A troll who can't afford to file a legal complaint in a Court with jurisdiction in the hosting provider's country can't touch that.
Not sure if this message should be posted where the troll can see it... Your call. Thanks for all you do, and here's hoping our troll finds other things to amuse himself with sooner than later.
@imnokid
Its ironic that RYP didn't seem to have any trouble before you started lobbying against this thread and now its only you who is gleefully reveling in the thread's ruination. Your's is the only malignant attitude that has reared its ugly head on here since this blew up.
Might make one wonder if you're contribution has been limited purely to the procession of tedious sneering tirades that you've been allowed to post on here by RYP?
After all, It wouldn't be the first time that a troll has used multiple identities to cripple a blog.
@ RYP: I agree with most of the posters who state that the contact you had was a scam and that you should wait. I will add that, in all contact I've had with lawyers, no one calls you and threatens. They send registered letters.
@ Monty: Back in 1973 (I think) I had the pleasure of attending a Genesis show where they did the entire Foxtrot recording. The opening band was not to our taste so we headed out to the lobby for a smoke (different times!). While we were puffing away, the opening notes of "Watcher of the Skies" floated past the doors to the auditorium. We tossed those butts and flew inside quick enough to draw our cigarette smoke in with us. The show was a note-for-note rendition and, as a hack musician myself, it was a jaw-dropper to hear that level of musicianship. Thanks for invoking that long lost memory.
Much thanks to our hosts, RYP and Gyro1966, and my personal thanks to all of you that provide such great music to all of us!
@RYP: I agree with the consensus that the warnings were likely from a troll. We've all seen this kind of thing with other blogs and it would be a mistake, I feel, to remove yours on such specious evidence. It's too bad that pathetic twerps who try to ruin it for everybody else exist, but so it goes. This will all blow over.
And regardless: big thanks for all your great shares. :-)
Has anyone got a copy of the 1968 Arnie Lawrence LP, "Look Toward A Dream" to share? I have searched high and low for it throughout the blogosphere. To the best of my knowledge, it has never been re-issued digitally.
Larry Coryell is the guitarist on it. There is one track someone put on YT and it's ...well, what you would expect from Coryell back then, and I'd like to hear it all.
Thanx in advance.
imnokid
Whatever happens, heartfelt thanks to RYP, Gyro and all who post here (now and in the past) for making this site unique and putting so much of yourselves into it.
Thanks to Butterboy for being the master curator.
Thanks to monty and Searnav for generosity above and beyond.
Thanks to JWDen for his own curation and for taking over the position of Gonzo Autobiographer now that Johnny Diego has abdicated the role.
Thanks to Aging Child, Diana Wu Ming and others for your welcome personalities.
Good Luck and Happiness to all!
I can be wrong RYP but if someone wants you to remove the blog, all they have to do is send a complain to Google. The blog would be closed in days. It happened to your blog before. To me it sounds like scaring you off. Probably the best thing to do is to stop posting for a bit, backup the blog immediately and see what is going to happen. If it was my blog, I would also not allow any sharing in this section of the blog for a little bit of time.
@RYP, and Gyro: it's not necessary for me to add my e-voice to the rest of your community here... but I want to do so anyway. I really appreiciate that you've come directly to your community with this issue... and I agree with the strong current of response: that message seems fake, and clearly hasn't gone through the correct legal channels that a legitimate complaint would. The timing, too, is really suspicious... and I have a hunch it's being done by someone who feels they were personally insulted either by the community, or by you, and wants to throw a tantrum and wreck the playground for everyone. I'd say to keep doing what you've been happily doing; ignore the gadflies (Störenfriede?). At worst, be ready to go private... and leave us a way to get hold of you, so we can simply move the party to an even finer (and far safer) basement. (And I like how WuMing puts it: "Musik ist eine Waffe!" Hear, hear!)
@Stinky: thank you for this latest fun compilation; I like the concept... regardless of whether it overflows into further volumes. This will be another great listen.
@Monty's: thank for the Foxtrot; I've been curious about the Gabriel-era Genesis.
@Gil: I agree with Bob; thank you most warmly for stopping by, and giving your word of caution. Please don't give up, either; like TZ, you have been a rare and wonderful - and deeply appreciated - resource.
Cheers... and love!
If you want to stay out of trouble, keep that guy who's name starts with a H out of here. He's the one posting the entire discography of a artist along with stuff from his blogs which stay open for two weeks before the copyright police shuts it down, then starts another blog which gets shut down, and starts another that gets shut down, then that one too. He's the guy who was responsible for blogs getting shut down 10 years ago for posting entire discographies of his favorite sunshine pop groups all over the blogosphere. I ran a blog (called "The Cellar") and used to rag on his ass all the time to where the copyright cops were asking me if "if I know him" and "where can we find him?" When H is posting every belch, fart and snore from Curt Boettcher or Brian Wilson, I was posting Al Hirt or Martin Denny using his wording for a laugh. The copyright cops are after that guy, if they see him posting here, you're asking for trouble.
I really hope that this blog will continue. If a private blog is needed though, I'd really like an invite!
a legit firm would go through proper channels. someone is trying to play you for some reason. bide your time, continue with what you do and if you are contacted again press them for some verification of who they are and why they are not following a general protocol that any law firm would insist upon.
RYP, I think it's a hoax, but it's made you aware. Maybe have a back up like Revolution Rock 12 had a while back when it disappeared but had given us all it's new site. Just in case.
Thanks for the stuff over the past few weeks.
And, of course, the regular daily postings can also be put into "and now for something..."
Hi, RYP,
Just another occasional fan here to say that the messages you received definitely seems fake.
Keep up the good work. You provide a great service!
RYP, my friend,your blog is one of my favorites and i love all the music you post on it. Don't let any asshole put you down. Music is the thing that matters for all of us here. Please, don't give up. Greetings from Amazonas, Brazil.
RYP, my friend, don't let any asshole put you down. All the music you post on TZ makes my day and the days of those who have music as the only thing that matters. Please, don't give up.
Greetings from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
Ryp and Gyro,
I agree that the Harry Fox Agency is unlikely to send you a cease-and-desist order, and certainly not in the comments section. If Harry Fox wants to take down TZ you'll wake up one morning and it will be gone. And that will be a tragedy for all of us.
If that should happen, and you decide you want to continue this sharing, I hope you will devise a plan so we can find you again.
If, on the other hand, you decide to pack it in and spend more time on a nice beach somewhere, you have the immense gratitude of legions of TZ followers, and you have enriched our music libraries beyond measure and beyond our ability to listen to it all. If you go away, we will all miss you each and every time we sit down at our computers. But then, we'll smile as we open our music directories, pick something we've never got round to hearing, and we'll say, "Thank you, Ryp. Thank you, Gyro."
We won't forget the others, either: Butterboy, Bob W, montysmusic, JWDen, or the incredible Northern Madman. And so many more.
Let's hope we don't have to say "Latcho Drom" anytime soon.
Phantom Of The Rock Opera,
I believe that Imnokid's intervention and the current mess have nothing to do with each other. Please do not let us defame each other in this Stuation!
Ive been out all day and come to look at what the status with TZ.
Its getting very sad that this situation is clearly causing trauma to so many of you. Please do not attack each other as it only gives great joy to the person who is delivering such an attack.
I also cannot see that it is a legitimate threat but who knows really. Biting at each other will not fix this. There are many coincidences in the comments that could suggest skullduggery, my friend just suggested that there is a guy actually showing a picture of a troll in these comments. I guess we could just attack many just like when they burnt witches at the stake. What good will that do?
It is also great to see all the well-wishers passing comment to RYP and Gyro in support (me included) as I said before I love this site and would be saddened to see all the work and joy that RYP and Gyro have given to us, all go to the wayside.
Peace to all.
here is my regular offering on a Friday

FOLK ROCK
Folk rock is a hybrid music genre combining elements of folk music and rock music, which arose in the United States and the United Kingdom in the mid-1960s. In the U.S., folk rock emerged from the folk music revival and the influence that the Beatles and other British Invasion bands had on members of that movement. Performers such as Bob Dylan and the Byrds, several of whose members had earlier played in folk ensembles, attempted to blend the sounds of rock with their preexisting folk repertoire, adopting the use of electric instrumentation and drums in a way previously discouraged in the U.S. folk community. The term "folk rock" was initially used in the U.S. music press in June 1965 to describe the Byrds' music.
The commercial success of the Byrds' cover version of Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" and their debut album of the same name, along with Dylan's own recordings with rock instrumentation, on the albums Bringing It All Back Home (1965), Highway 61 Revisited (1965), and Blonde on Blonde (1966), encouraged other folk acts, such as Simon & Garfunkel, to use electric backing on their records and new groups, such as Buffalo Springfield, to form. Dylan's controversial appearance at the Newport Folk Festival on 25 July 1965, where he was backed by an electric band, was also a pivotal moment in the development of the genre.
During the late 1960s in Britain and Europe, a distinct, eclectic British folk rock style was created by Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Alan Stivell. Inspired by British psychedelic folk and the North American style of folk rock, British folk rock bands began to incorporate elements of traditional British folk music into their repertoire, leading to other variants, including the overtly English folk rock of the Albion Band and Celtic rock. (Wikipedia)
Folk Rock as a genre has very blurred and overlapping edges into pure folk, rock, and 'singer-songwriter' styles. Whilst folk rock enjoyed it's heydey back in the late 60s and early 70s recent success of bands like Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers folk rock is making it's way back ....

I'm with RYP: Finger pointing only feeds a troll, whether correctly identified or not. It's a no-win move, that risks real damage to the community.
@RYP - I mostly agree with all the positive thoughts to come out of this discussion. I visit everyday, but rarely see much of particular interest. It's just my thing, unless it's 60s reggae and early British punk I have only a passing interest.
That said, I'll continue to lurk, don't be scared off, but if you go private I'm still up for the daily visits
Stay safe!
This has been my favourite blog since the Wormhole. Long may it continue. If it doesn't, we've had a hell of a ride. Nice to see Butterboy today. Thanks to him and every one of you.
I don't think I've thanked RYP and Gyro1966 enough for they've been doing here... and for their fortitude as well as deeply respectful free rein! Our big TZ family has said it well and resoundingly loudly, and I'm proud to be one more smal (off-key) voice in the rich chorus.
Back to the music; cheers!
@Phantom Of The Rock Opera
Let me assure you that Imnokid doesn't operate that way. I know him & his wife who is one of the most respected singers around. In fact, I've seen music recorded by his wife shared here SEVERAL times & I've never seen him complain about it.
I know him quite well, as we both belonged to a very popular forum years ago. He knows who I am as well & I can say for a certainty that he doesn't operate in a backhanded manner. If he has something to say to a person, he says it & doesn't hide in the shadows to do some of this dirty crap that I'm reading here.
@Ryp/Gyro, I come here often in hopes that i'll luck out & find something that I don't have but must admit that I'm not into 99% of the musical style posted here. But what keeps me coming back is the fact that I do learn a lot by reading what posters discuss here. Whether I download something or not, I like the spirit which exists here, as most of the regulars here are respectful, generous & helpful, a quality that these days is sorely missed.
Personally, I don't believe in that "anonymous" posting crap, which which necessary in some cases, is usually employed by cowards looking to stir up trouble. I find it amazing to see the egos involved with these blogs, who wants to be "bigger" or "greater" than another. Some of these folks behave as though it's they who created all of this music, or have found a cure for AIDS, Cancer & the common cold.
I just don't get that kind of mentality.
I don't think that ANYONE should be allowed to make anonymous posts here. If you're bold enough to write crap to people, then be a damn man about it, instead of acting olike punk bratty punk who wasn't hugged enough as a kid.
I try to contribute when I can, but if it avoids headaches for you, I say that everyone who's a serious lover of this blog simply send you a VERIFIABLE e-mail address & simply take it private, leaving the trolls on the outside looking in.
Just an opinion from one who looks in with interest & respects the hell out of most of your regular posters who give far more than they ever take. I'd hate to see the spirit of this blog destroyed because of one or 2 jealous people who have nothing better to do with themselves that create problems, unnecessarily so, at that.
Should you go that route, I'd be grateful to receive an invite from you, as we've lost far too many quality sites over the years.
I wish you & Twilight Zone all the best!
Thanks Butterboy for the Folk Rock shares.
I too think this sounds like a troll situation, but in these times paranoia isn't something to laugh off! I would love an invite too if things go private - this place is amazing!
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone in a glass house. Finger pointing is just toxic, and it's what trolls WANT us to do. A community divided is a community conquered.
Those who expose trolls will provide evidence that can be verified through disinterested third party sources, if they are not trolls - or leaning dangerously in that direction "for the best of reasons."
Even when pinning an ASL and True Name on a troll is legit and evidence based, one should think twice and think hard about whether publication is warranted, vs. privately contacting moderator/owners of affected forums.
"The sage always excels in saving people, and so abandons no one;
Always excels in saving things, and so abandons nothing." - Lao Tzu
Re allowing anonymous posts: "Anons" can not edit or delete their posts. Recognizable ones have to live with whatever nonsense they pound out on their keyboards, no taksie-backsies, and that helps to keep them honest.
In some countries, it pays for members of certain fringe and minority groups to keep quiet about their personal lives on the networks. Anonymity empowers them to exist as themselves, at least in cyberspace. Much the same applies to Anarchists everywhere - by definition nobody in any position of authority likes rabble rousing trouble makers.
God and the TZ readership only know, that "music can move a generation." In a world that confronts the imminent potential of self-induced human extinction, can we afford to rein dissident voices in? I would say, probably not. If an anon post draws applause, good. If an anon post draws derision and laughter, even better!
