L&B is down obviously

Hi guys, it's been a very long time since my last post. The reason is that I have had a HD crash and I am still coping to retrive my data, I might have lost something like 50 DVD Boots, grrr. Anyway, I'll post again when I have solved this issue.
I wanted to thank all of you for the enthusiast support I have received over the last few inactivity months !
I am working on another Blog, that is only in French (sorry for other users), and will treat the following subjects:

• Song translations (into French)
• Upcoming and new releases
• Alternative music ways such as Vinyl for instance
• Music debate, such as the recent Demonoid shut down
• And of course, one or two uploads here and there I guess, as soon as my HD is fixed !
  

Would you like to help me, please spread the link: Rock'n Roz (http://rocknroz.free.fr)
I need your support, thx again, do not forget to think on your own in those crazy days, and keep rockin !

Hi, just back from the two Metallica shows in Paris, what can I say, this band is still kick ass after 25 years !!

To whom it may concern

Back from a black metal gig, I just want to say this to the guys who spoil our scene, to all Nazi freaks, FUCK YOU BASTARDS!!!

Punk aint no religious cult,
Punk means thinking for yourself.
You aint hardcore cause you spike your hair,
When a jock still lives inside your head.

Nazi punks,
Nazi punks,
Nazi punks,
Fuck off !

If youve come to fight, get outta here.
You aint no better than the bouncers.
We aint trying to be the police.
When you ape the cops, it aint anarchy.

Nazi punks,
Nazi punks,
Nazi punks,
Fuck off !

Ten guys jump one, what a man !
You fight each other, the police state wins.
Stab your backs when you trash our halls.
Trash a bank if youve got real balls.

You still think swastikas look cool.
The real nazis run your schools.
Theyre coaches, businessmen and cops.
In the real fourth reich, youll be the first to go.

Nazi punks,
Nazi punks,
Nazi punks,
Fuck off !

Youll be the first to go.
Youll be the first to go.
Youll be the first to go.
Unless you think.

Try this out ! CRYONIC STATE - Voice of the Insane

Excellent Melodic Thrash band I discovered on the Net. Influenced by 90's Megadeth, Metallica and Maiden, if you like those band, please give them a chance, they trully rock !!!

www.myspace.com/cryonicmusik

You can download their demo "Voice of the Insane" on their Myspace, and if you can read French, you'll find many links to reviews and interviews!

Anyway, L&B f***ing likes it !!!

Beginner: which tool to host a bootleg list ?

Here is a little article in order to help beginners (and some veterans) organize their boot list.

Generic advice:

1. Update your list whenever your receive something new. WHY? Because it is easier to list 1 or 2 boots than 136!


2. Add as much information as possible when you have it. WHY? Because you will loose information really quick, and it is sometimes hard to find it back.


3. Host a website or a blog to share your list, and keep in touch with traders. WHY? For they are good guys ;-) and will help you if you are a rookie.

Useful information to keep track of: see Dime's wiki for details (you might have to log in):

1. Artist


2. Recording Date


3. Location


4. Setlist


5. Lineage


6. Video and audio characteristics


7. Notes about the show

This is pretty hard to gather all this information about a boot, but if you have it, check it, keep it and share it.

How to host your list: spreadsheet, blog or website?

1. Spreadsheet: for those who do not know this term a spreasheet is a Excel(Microsoft) or Calc(Openoffice) file. Many traders use this standard format to stor etheir bootleg list, as it is easy to use and practical. I recommend to use Openoffice Calc: download openoffice, this is free and open source.
   
   + : easy to use, really practical.
   - : not interactive.
   


2. Blog: a blog is a good way to host and share your list of boots. The blog platform you choose is really important, because it comes with its community and daily users, and for instance, this is the very reason why Loudbootlegs is hosted by Google (Blogger), because I wanted many people to read it and ask for trades! The reason why it is a good choice is that you will be referenced easily by Google and also on, Blogger search engine. But on the other hand, many people fear Google, so this is up to you. If you fear that your privacy could be threatened, which is perfectly understandable, use open source tools, that will guarantee the safety of your data. As far as blog as concerned, I would recommend to use Wordpress to host a blog. Note that you will have to know a bit of HTML and CSS in order to be really comfortable with Wordpress, but this is 10 times more powerful as Blogger.
   
   
   
   
   • Blogger: www.blogger.com
     
     + : hudge community, easy to use, well referenced.
     - : data freedom and privacy
     
   
   
   • Wordpress: wordpress.com/
     
     + : hudge community, open source, unlimited.
     - : takes some time to install and configure.
     
   
   
   
   


3. Website: everybody's dream is to have their own website ,but the thing is this is pretty much complicated. You will have to know different languages to build and maintain a website, and if this is just to host your bootlist, I would rather recommend to use a blog.
   
   Although there is a solution that most traders know but if you are a beginner you might have never heard of thsi website, so here it is: Tapetrader.
   
   This is an excellent website that will help you host your trading list very precisely and easily, the only thing you have to do is to create an account. Once you are logged in, you can add artists and shows to your boot list, and even create a want list to add the shows you would like to find. The interesting thing is that you can serach for artists and shows in tapetrader's database, which will help you find many traders that like the same bands as you do.
   

Time to clean !

I don't know how bootleg fanatics you guys are, but one thing is true: if you not organized your collection could be a big mess...Well this is basically what happens to me those days !!

It's been a while since my last trade, but I really need to clean my list, burn the dvds and print the covers before doing some more trades! I have received many trade requests lately but unfortunately I cannot take them for I need to take care of my collection first.
Anyway, I'll try to post some new stuff on Dime when I have time, especially some Death shows that have been requested many times, and some Morbid Angel reseeds. Be patient!
