A Question for the Readers
If you haven't heard, today Filesonic reacted to the Megaupload travesty in a very predictable way: files uploaded to their file-hosting service are now only accessible to the original uploader. This renders file-sharing impossible, and it is highly likely the other file-hosts will soon follow suit out of fear of prosecution. What this means is that file-sharing as we have known it in the blog world looks to be a thing of the past. There are still torrents, but the blog-end has been dealt a crippling blow (at least for now). My question for you is if there would be any interest in a review website with links to purchase from independent sellers and perhaps sound-clips but no free downloads? I await your input, as it will largely determine whether I return with a new blog in a month or so or if I instead focus all my efforts and energy on exploring my new status as an eligible bachelor....

(La) luna Update
Hello everyone,
For the next week or so, I'll be in the process of moving due to my impending divorce (God I hate writing that!), but after the move, I'm contemplating either starting a private blog or a new public blog with another file host such as Mediafire, Fileserve or Rapidshare. I will keep you posted about this new blog as I figure things out, and yes, if/when the new blog happens, I will post Heyday! ;) ~ Voix

Megaupload Siezed by the FBI
If you are trying to download and are finding it impossible, it is because today, the F.B.I. (Fascist Bureau of Intervention) seized the various domains of Megaupload.
Here is more info
As to what this means for the future of Plastic Palace People and (La) luna, I don't know, but I can tell you that I won't be posting anything for the foreseeable future. The music sharing landscape is changing quickly and it might be a good time sit back for a while and watch the fall out of this aggressive seizure. The writing on the wall doesn't look good. ~ V

Love and Rockets- "No New Tale to Tell" Video (1987)
"When you're down, it's a long way up.

It's all the same thing.
No new tale to tell."

Wall of Voodoo- Happy Planet (1987) MP3 & FLAC
We are not Devo; we are Wall of Voodoo! This is the second of three albums Wall of Voodoo issued after Stan Ridgway went solo in 1984. While there is no denying that Ridgway's unique vocals and quirky songwriting are missed, his replacement, Andy Prieboy and the rest of the reformed band are not half bad, though the production is a bit too glossy. Nevertheless, if you are a Wall of Voodoo fan, you may want to take this for a spin.
