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.
