Much like the idea for WWALT blog came to me in the shower almost a year ago, another great idea just struck...
Let's set up the WWALT Mailing List. Like, I made a cool hour long vinyl-only mix recently, and thanks to yousendit I could totally email it out to all of you at once! Ditto for some new CD you checked out or have from your archives that wasn't a blog score (b/c if it's a blog score you can just post the rapidshare link, dig?)
I'll send the distro list to everybody who wants in, and then when you have something dope you can send it out to everybody, or to follow up a blog post you can send something out. You'll have the feeling like when you go to the mailbox and there is a care package waiting for you, except it will be the e-version in your email box.
Huh? Huh?!
Also, i was thinking about setting up the WWALT Facebook group, but is that just gay? Is there any real benefit to having that?
Sincerely,
DC Looch aka The Mastermind
p.s. Is there anybody out there that is checking out this blog that is not a "poster" (i.e. one who posts, not the thing you hang on your wall)? If so, holla in the comments and let us know what you think or if you want to join the brotherhood.
p.p.s. Lastly, for the 20-odd guys who have ability to post but don't, are you guys even on here? Do you guys check in but just don't post?
OUT to the beach. PZ

Nice... market research.
The mailing list is a smashing idea, but since DC is the kingpin of this operation, maybe he should collect e-mail addresses off-line. He must have them already if he invited us to join, so he can send them to each of us privately.
Have a gander at this > http://drfaustroll.blogspot.com/
They are currently posting pieces of the 8cd Stooges Funhouse box everyday. They are up to cd 5. I found a few gigs of other worthy items as well.
Agreed. Just say you are down and i'll set it up, no need to post addy. But who wouldn't be down?
I'm down for receiving, but my connection is to slow and I'm to cheap to upload with Yousendit ($10 monthly fee if you want to do multiple files in folders). Why don't we just start posting the download links like every other blog in the world?
I'm also down for a mailing list. I'd do the Facebook group too, in particular if it gets any NYC cats out to check the Monastics.
I dont know about the facebook thing, but Id definitely be down for any and all music mailings (postal or email). Im in the process of checking out this "yousendit" service so I could also hopefully bring some new stuff to the table as well.
I personally check the blog regularly and try to get in on the discussion when applicable, but havent had the time to top-post as much as Id like as of yet.
yeah, i'm down for the mailing list. not sure what the facebook thing would be good for, unless we wanted to recruit lots of people and then superpoke each other.
i'm going to drop a post soon about the shitload of African folk music i just got...
