…and now for something completely different! 2661 - 2025

Those damned religious zealots, politicians, warlords and... They all bring death and ruin and they don't know that they are as superfluous as telephone disinfectors and hairdressers! - RYP

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 RELEASED IN 2023 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS AND NO REQUESTS FOR FLAC OR OTHER LOSSLESS, IF YOU WANT FLAC, BUY THE ALBUM)! Here you can say what you like, unless it's offensive, racist or discriminatory! Please keep your language polite and respectful. All other 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! RYP and Gyro1966 and Gaius R.I.P.

Hi Gary,
I appreciate all the merrie melodies. I've nailed em all but part one. any chance of a reup or a posting date. I'd love to have it. Thanks

Anonymous said...

You know I first started to visit this fine site over 15 years ago, boy has it changed since then, thanks goes to RYP for his hard work, keeping the site going. Lately it does seem to be in decline, many of the characters that once posted here have left, some to open their own sites, others just moved on. In the old days there was so much to download. There are now people sharing here and then deleting the post, if your going to share then share, don't share and then delete the link. It seem more then ever there is a clique here, it never ever was like that. I used ti visit here daily, but don't bother much now, drop by now and then, and when you see the comments of less than 20 somedays, well that says it all.

Richie Nixan said...

Well Anon, I am not a long time poster.
15 years ago, you could post as much as you liked. For obvious reasons that has been limited.
When I post something, I, myself, do not delete, the Imagenetz and Pixeldrains do (after 3 months or so)
And yes sometimes comments get removed by the poster, that is only one or two persons.
It is not strange that those who start their own blog, do not post much here.
Change is not good, not bad, it is inevitable

If you have been coming here for 15 years and think the site has "declined", do something about it! Post some of your collection, you must have a lot after 15 years. Don't just leave an Anonymous post.

I love it when people whinge from behind the safety of their cloak of anonymity. Honestly, you're a right laugh, you are. Personally, i love this blog. There are some extremely generous, thoughtful people here. Long may it continue.

Like you do lemonflag, you never share anything. Yeah hope it continues, but have decided to stop visiting. It's still free speech but I don't have to add my name to any comment I make, if that was the case RYP would have made it Google accounts only to comment. I have no wish to share anything on the site, have shared many things over the years. And I wasn't whinging, just stating my opinion on the state of the site. I don't take anything from here anymore. I did in the good old days of this site.

big, pompous words! You think we really need you? Many have already left without this grand announcement. But just as many have joined without saying, "Here I am, the Big Mac!" Your criticism is completely without substance and brings no progress! So leave without saying anything!
p.s.: Incidentally, anyone who appears here as "anonymous" can invent stories like 15 years, etc., just to attract attention!

In response to Anonymous 27 February 2025 at 12:01 I have also visited many blogs and sites with links over the years, even tried my hand, unsuccessfully, at one. Change is inevitable for good or bad. If I visit a site that provides active links at the time I am there, I am happy the site exists, even if none of the links are of interest to me. Do I get bummed when I find a link to a personal holy grail and it is no longer active, yes, but that is on me. I can honestly say that i cannot recall ever requesting a link be reposted because above all else, I am just happy they are there, I do not want to give them extra work. Do I suggest people not make requests, absolutely not, and I have certainly benefitted from this, it is just a weird thing of mine. If no one did, it would be bad, then I might. This is not anti-request, but just to acknowledge that while bloggers get some love, they often get more grief. I forget the stat that reports that one thank-you is equal to many, many more views and I am also guilty of this. There is such a wide variety posted on this site, I am sorry you cannot find anything active that stimulates you. Change often sucks, especially initially, it is also inevitable. You have the right to your opinion, and I might even agree with some of your points, and would suggest that many of the changes you cited were not of RYP's control, RYP may even agree with you. I was able to view your response, mine, well, it may get the axe , and I myself could give great arguments for it being deleted, either way, this is not out of any anger, I am getting some joy from it, and hope you did from yours as well. I imagine RYP is happy to see a new blog started by a contributor as opposed to erasing all traces of past connection and not listing the blog. I would even consider that there are items posted here that do match RYP's current tastes, yet, there they are. I have no ties to this or any site, but I do love music, and have spent uncountable hours in record stores and many facets related to music, even playing live which I am sure I got far more from than anyone who may have heard the mus... sounds that were made over the years. There can never be too many outlets for discovering music, knowing my holy grail is 'feh, to some and vice versa, although I still prefer it exits than not, as it may become my holy grail in the future. When one goes, even if it never had anything for me, I feel it is a loss, and if tomorrow this place were gone, I am pretty confident even you would feel the loss, as would uncountable others, some possibly who still have not found that piece they want to add to their own collection, but continue to visit. Change or don't change, I just hope all who post here get the same feeling they did as the first time they did, or the first time they found a personal holy grail link that was active. Ok, yes, borderline manifesto, just less focused, Guilty, and yes, someone, me, should have deleted this.

@Anonymous/"Northern Mad-Man" What's the purpose of your whinging? A lot of people pushed back against your whinge, so I'll let that speak, but Dude, seriously if you think TZ is dying instead of moaning about it do something. You have a lot of knowledge & music & could contribute quite positively here ...instead you choose to be a "Grumpy Old Man" Negative Nelly.

Life's too short for Lemons, Limes & Bitters.

BTW I'll take you this opportunity to thank you immensely for your past contributions. I discovered & enjoyed lots of Artists because of you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Please be part of the Solution & not part of the Problem, don't be the Problem.

If you can do things better why not your own blog?
