Re: do u realy want to stop the war???

[Philip Rush <philip_rush@ye...fsnet.co.uk>]

Well thanks for the US perspective.  The only terrorists who have tried to
kill me were the IRA in London.  Funded by the US, of course (like Iraq:
read up on this).

And now forgiven.

And if you think Spain and Italy have 'shity' weather you need more than a
spell checker.

hi all friendsloversplanes

while u  all sitting and relaxing in your nice european houses (shity
weather though),there is some people in this lovely world off ours that
suffers badly from terrorist and from this old-new wave of islamic 
terrorist
groups. 

u can sit down with your famillies and watch in the c.n.n about all the 
evol
of this world  that u may think happends far far from u...but it's not.

nobody likes war and nobody likes to see death but sometime u have to think
a few steps forward and to do something before it will be too late and
before sadam will have a nuclear bomb that can reach london and bristoll or
any other european city,so next time before u protest about something,sit
down for a moment of deep thinking or if it is to hard for u ,u can allways
catch a plane to visit israel or ground 0 in ny.

nobody likes or want wars but sometimes u have no choise to be sure to open
your eyes and mind .......

Hi all, 
 
I must say I know all this, because I'm e real big Marillion-fan...
I even paid for that record in advance (and my name is in the booklet of 
the
limited edition album...)
Now they're trying to do the same thing all over again for the next album.
One difference though...
They're trying to raise enough money to pay all promotiom-stuff
themselves.... 
This instead of one or another recordcompany.
They just asked their fans what they all think about the idea...

Hans.

Happy New Year all.

Did anyone read the Doors supplement in the Sunday Times this week,
especially the Marillion article?

For those who didn't, it ran something like this:

The example of pomp rockers Marillion - not the hippest of bands - suggests
a new business paradigm. Dropped by their record company for being
unfashionable, the band had to cancel a US tour, until Jeff Woods, a fan
from Raleigh, North Carolina, took matters into his own hands. Woods, who
had been to 75 Marillion concerts, raised £37,000 online from other fans 
and
the tour went ahead. Realising the power of the internet to build a
like-minded artistic community, within months 13,000 fans had each paid
Marillion £16 in advance - totalling more than £200,000 - which allowed the
band to record their recent CD Anoraknophobia. Suddenly, Marillion had the
biggest recording advance of their career and no record company to call
their tune. 

"We were the first band to recognise the potential of the internet," said
the singer Steve Hogarth. "We have cut out the middle men in suits, who 
have
been taking most of our money for the past 20 years. What is so brilliant
about the net is that we can ask 40,000 fans at the touch of a button what
they think about a proposed release. It makes music incredibly democratic."

Having sacked their manager and fired their booking agent - fans now book
the shows - the band employ a full-time web editor to keep 
www.marillion.com
up to date. He sits in the office next to their recording studio - a fan
could not get much closer without being on stage - and band members visit
the site's forum twice-weekly to contribute to the debate.

"Sure, the net threatens the record industry," Hogarth said, "but it 
doesn't
threaten the artist. It frees the artist."


You can't say we didn't try with Swagger but an idea worth pursuing, maybe.
