The Final Post

One of the inevitabilities in life is that all things must end (so I heard). This is the message I bring to you today. This blog has run its course and it is only right that I bring this blog to a close. I no longer have the time and interest in maintaining this blog or seeking out records, tapes, CDs, and other formats of this material.

I would like to thank these fine individuals who have contributed to this blog's collection: KL from NYC, jay strange, aethr, yragentman, Tripmaster, and Jackory. (I hope I didn't forget anyone.)

I appreciate all who took the time to write a comment when visiting the Basement (except the spammers, damn you spammers).

I also appreciate all who took at least a few minutes from their lives to visit the Basement. I know those are not minutes you can ever have back, I can only hope it was fun, worthwhile, and maybe even educational.

While my interest in some of this stuff has decreased, I admit that I hope that this blog has at least in a small way encouraged people to go out and look for records, tapes, even CDs in the real world.

No need to worry about this blog being taken over by some bot and being turned into a shit spam blog or one of those blogs that contains written or copy-and-pasted celebrity news or some other such crap. It will still be up and available as a resource or as simply something for your amusement or however you wish to use this blog. Most if not all of the posts should still have active links. I may or may not decide to keep reuploading the files. This means that I may or may not take requests to reupload something. If you feel the need to repost something or two or more from this blog, all I ask is you reupload the files yourself. You don't even have to credit me.

I wish all of you happiness and wellness in your lives as well as luck in finding a weird record or two for a bargain. Thank you and farewell.

More Updates about Some Old Posts

I am hoping that I can post something new (or a few) this month. In the meantime, I took care of most of the posts that were stored on Megaupload by reuploading files along with the posts where I used Multiupload. Hopefully, the files will last a while. I think there are still a few dead links somewhere in the blog. If you see one and want it really bad, just let me know and I'll try to get it back online.

This will be the last time I undertake a massive reuploading project here. 1) I have many more files that need to be reuploaded at my other blog. I am way behind at doing that. 2) I cannot say for certain how long I will keep updating this blog or adding new records to this blog. Lately, I had very little time to look for records and when I do have a little time to look, I hardly find anything worth getting. Not much of anything interesting has been showing up in the used shops and the library sales for the past year. I am thinking the well is running dry. Also, I am focusing on my career in the real world. I have to make a living too. Sorry, I don't have much time to devote to this blog and my other one.

Perhaps what could be called the perfect storm on the current state of file sharing and what is happening in my life has contributed to the lack of posts here and my declining interest in doing this. It remains to be seen how long this blog will last.

Anyway, here are the reuploads I talked about.

Someone requested these and here they are. It is Xmas in July, ha ha.

grey calx on LibraryThing

For evaluation purposes, I set up an account on the social media/social networking book cataloging site LibraryThing to see if this site is useful for me in real life. So far, I've cataloged a few books. I cataloged only the kind of books that I found during my digging that let's say are "off the beaten path" or rather the stuff I would post on this blog. Maybe it's an attempt to rival that Abebooks virtual weird book room. By the way, a few of the books in my LibraryThing library may look familiar as they have already been posted here at the Basement. Yes, I actually own a copy of every single book cataloged as of this writing.

Come visit my library.
