I had a sudden brainstorm at my last visit to the library. Here in the U.S., if you want to borrow an item your library doesn't have, and the item was released within the last year or so, all you have to do is ask at the desk and they'll buy a copy for the library at no charge to you. All you have to do is fill out a small form with the item info and your library account number.

I requested they purchase a copy of DGSS, and I encourage all the other U.S. fans on this board to do the same at their libraries. It's easy, doesn't cost anything, and will almost guarantee that new people will pick up the album out of curiosity.

And if you're outside the U.S., just ask a librarian if they have a similar programme where you live. Chances are they might.

If you can think of other ways to promote the band, post them! ;D

Unless you are under the age of 5 or over 65, then you should get online and forego the antiquated library system of yesteryear.

I go and i'm not 65 lol! I don't have a book reader thing and I prefer real books anyways. Why pay reatail or even go to a second hand bookstore for a book when I could get it for free? You can also get movies, dvd's etc all for free. Plus, as the OP pointed out if there's something you really want and they library doesn't have it they can order it for you. The library I go to even has a cafe that looks like barnes and noble and free wifi and stuff, you can actually hang out and stuff. Not for everyone but I def like it.

Sounds like you haven't been to a library in awhile.

I go to the library all the time. Aside from all the reading material - of which there is a lot - you can find all sorts of music and films. I remember being thrilled to find loads of old school punk stuff: buzzcocks, damned, the clash, stiff little fingers, specials etc.

It's a temple of knowledge!

I'm to lazy to do it but those with more ambition should definitely try it out.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 GMT -5 *

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
