Blog Links?

So I have discovered the magical world of blogs that post rare New Wave albums. I have a couple of good ones, but was wondering if anyone had some links to other ones?

Thanks in advance!

Numerous threads with blog sites listed in them here at the NWO...

Use the Search feature at the top, and type the word 'blog' and then use the subject line and not entire message, and you'll ge like 6 or 7 to start with...

Thanks mate. I found one called eightiesfanatic, not a blog but a forum. It's a bit of a nightmare to join because I don't speak German...but holy effing sh** it is an absolute goldmine!. I haven't gone anywhere else in days.

Hey, doctor, doctor...there's a section they want filled in that I can't figure out.
It's under username, password, date of birth, ect.

It says: Deine Antwort auf die Sicherheitsfrage: *

Any ideas what they're looking for?

I think they are asking you to answer the question above, which when I did it said What kind of fruit is pictured or something like that.

coop41 is right. Their security feature is to ask you some bizzare observation question. Mine was "what is the total of the second set of numbers...ignoring the + signs". I just looked at the second line and it said something like 1 + 2...the answer was 12. I put 12 in the box and it worked. If you refresh the page a few times you will eventually get the math question which is a little easier than some of the ones that do come up.

I used http://babelfish.altavista.com/ to translate the different german sentences into English and it worked pretty well.

Also, for some reason the activation e-mail did not turn up in my normal ISP account. I tried again with my gmail account and it turned up.

I'm in! I was able to figure out the code. It took a few tries, though.

I would go on occasion about 8 months ago, but then for some reason I could not get on anymore so eventually I gave up on it.
