RELAUNCH sort of.

Memories of what never was...

Indeed. Looking for Smashing Pumpkins, Starchildren, The Marked or Zwan mp3s? You're too late. For almost two years I worked hard to keep this site going. Wanting to share live and unreleased music. Thinking it was a service to the fans and the band. But one day I got an email from the Danish Copyright agency KODA. They told me to take the songs down. And for a while it even looked like I would have to pay for the use of the music for the duration of time I had made it available. But luckily they decided to drop the case when I cooperated with them. Good for me personally. I avoided a big fine. But the music is gone. You will have to look elsewhere. It plays on in other places.

If you want to know more about the whole KODA incident I invite you to read the following entries from my personal diary. Those were my reactions and thoughts.

That's amore

a glimpse into my life
Being the narcissistic nobody that I am, I also saved some message board threads about the case. Some day when everyone has forgotten all about Plume and his dailysp struggles I can still look back on my 15 minutes of fame.

The html pages are saved to my own server but the images might stop working some day. And don't bother replying of course.

But that's it. My dailysp story. I still think it was a good idea. I still think it should be seen as a good thing. But I'm not a rich man, I can't pay for the use of the music. I couldn't even pay for the hosting. So there was really no choice but to close the site. I hope you all enjoyed it while it lasted. Big thanks to everyone who has helped me or contacted me through the years. Very big thanks to everyone who offered sympathy and help when I was in trouble. If you have been hosting songs for me and I haven't contacted you then you can take the songs down from your server now. The site isn't coming back. Feel free to leave messages in the guestbook. I'll still check it. For old times sake. It's hard to let go.

We'll always have the memories. And the music.

Farewell and goodnight.
