I've concluded that the way to find

Discuss hard-to-find or out-of-print New Wave and '80s Alternative, and share a few songs along the way.
NOTE: requesting songs that are entirely unrelated to the genres discussed here or easily found on CD is strongly discouraged and posts will be enforced as needed.

a difficult song is to

1. Look on soulseek for about a week,
2. Sheepishly post a request here,
3. Go back to soulseek and the song will be there immediately.

Coincidence?

Karma?

Or is it easier for people here to put things on soulseek than to post to the thread and email me?

OneCharmingBastard - Are you reading this?

If so, thanks!

WOW!!

I find the same thing to be true.

Not sure why it happens, but it does. (and isn't that all that matters in the end?)

In fact,..... I've been looking for Steve Harley's "Heartbeat like Thunder" for about a week now on Soulseek with no luck.

And when you can't find that totally hard to find Obscure ultra rare song. You go over to http://gemm.com and just folk over the money to buy the lp that contains the song you are looking for. This what I do.

It's kinda wierd but I ask, then look as well. There's a few tricks to finding new wave stuff on soulseek.1: try searching for the year of the record your looking for(I.E; 1984) then variations or abreviations of the group name example; OMD, O.M.D., Orche

siouxmoux, you say you're sharing the files on SoulSeek, but I can't add you to my user list (I've tried siouxmoux and Siouxmoux). What user id are you using on Soulseek?

It just updated my soulseek id to "80newwave" since I am only sharing
rare new wave music. I have decided to stop sharing my entire music

Gotch'ya siouxmoux - I private messaged you in SoulSeek, but I guess you weren't looking :-). I'm currently not even a blib on the radar in SoulSeek with less then 1000 files shared - most people I noticed have collections in the 8K-30K range. My dedica

siouxmoux is on right now :-) Remember to look for "80newwave" as he mentioned above. I was lucky then to actually have caught hensoneno online yesterday?

Hmmm - I'm having trouble trying to browse now to. I got in just fine before and was able to look over his shared files. Maybe there is some kind of problem with getting to his client currently across the net. I don't know - probably just try back late

Sorry about that. Soulseek is notorious for failing connecting directing to another member. If you saw something from my shared folder and you could not download from the soulseek, I could manually send them to you thru email or yousendit.com.
