    Well I certainly amn't going to flame you. Music's subjective, you're entitled to your opinion. Question though, why bother posting about your dislike for one of someone else's favourites? Oh wait, I'm just as guilty. Never mind, Carry on...

    btw, everyone should go out and buy every single album on treefingers' list, starting with Unknown Pleasures and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and open their minds beyond Lilac fuqing Wine from here on in. Treat yourselves, listen to treefingers' advice.

    Unless they forgot to update their website.... NO, not Pt 3... piece of crap with the name 'pt3', .

    -For the record: There’s only one official 2 Many DJ’s album.

    Shrewd moneymakers have released a ridiculous amount of other volumes, and are selling them in shops and on the internet. These are not official 2 Many DJ’s albums! Most of these bootlegs contain one hour mixes made for a radioshow called ‘Hang The DJ’, which was broadcast on the Belgian radio station Studio Brussel. They were never intended for release, nor were they cleared with any of the artists. Some of these mixes are quite old (up to 4 years), and there are even copies out there which aren’t mixed by 2 Many DJ’s at all, so beware of imitations. Please don’t spend your money on these cheeky CD’s. There are places on the internet where you can download them for free, so we hear...

    As for an official follow up: Never say never

    yes it is unofficial....yes it is a copy of the hang the djs radio show..

    i aquired it in when i was working in ghent 2 years ago... along with pts 1 and 4, i also have the "official part 2" but i can truely say, the mixing on this "album" is far better than pt 2.

    and as far as i know, its only Pt 9 that isnt the brothers dewale mixing it up...

    Favourite Album of all time:-
    Neil Young - On The Beach - its just perfect, every note - nothing else comes close to being this good.

    (other NY albums of note - All of them really, but especially Harvest, Tonight's The Night, Time Fades Away, Reactor :), Trans)

    Bob Dylan - Bootleg Series Volume 4, The Royal Albert Hall Concert

    Joni Mitchell - Ladies Of The Canyon

    Gomez - Bring It On - i loved this album intensly for about a year.

    The Frames - Dance The Devil - (definetly their best)

    Stephen Stiills - Manassas - a huge sprawling album that loops through different stlyes and themes - nailing everyone of them perfectly.

    Unofficial alright, Part 9 is the latest one, but the newest ones are terrible.

    Part 3 is one of the best, especially the first 11 or 12 tracks on it!

    No! no! stop right there! Wilco are the blandest abomination!
    Go listen to Gram Parsons instead!
    Or try the flying Burrito Brothers. Even Whiskeytown have more to offer.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,048 ✭✭✭DerekD Goldfish


    Well finding heartworm is not the difficulty it used to be i had to track it down in a swiss second hand store(im only slightly bitter).
    A few boxes of it were recently discoverd in a warehouse and have been back in sale in all the major stores there should be some left if you look hard enough.
    Also in the for sale section sombody was clearing out their collection and was selling heartworm for €1 chech to see if this idiot has sold it yet.
    Im sure you could find a copy on the net easy enough and with all the new copies recently found the price has droped.
