sentimental shit
:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

[cmaz]

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought Id need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadnt a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, dont think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, youre beautiful, I want you to walk

Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

cmaz, that's the soundtrack running in my mind! :lol:

I'll give some bumps here over the next month leading up to the 5th anniversary of the site going public in mid-November 2004 (I guess that's the more "official" 5th in a way ;) ).

thanks for the posts, everybody! :D

[rspencer]

I'll dig up some new stuff to torrent in celebration.

Anybody interested in something, PM me. Lists are in the sig.

All the masters are handy, the rest of the stuff may be hit-and-miss.

Five years is quite a while. I never thought about us being around for so long. That's pretty cool! :)

Happy Birthday Guys and Gals!

[katnapz]

I wasn't expecting to be on line today to pass along the well wishes....
Thanks to all of you for the excellent hard work you've done for the past five years.
Wish I was doing more to help you all out but chit happens....

Here's to the best past five, and the next great five!

So,...who's working on that special celebration at Lynne's place with headliner U2 opening and closing? Figured we can squeeze someone like "KC and the Sunshine Band" in the middle??? I'm betting that's Lynne's guilty pleasure. :)

[paddington]

Lynne knows better than to invite us over

[spursfan]

Happy Birthday TTD. I still enjoy the site. Stick around a bit longer. At least so I (we) can celebrate one more Spurs championship. :rock:

[katnapz]

Lynne knows better than to invite us over

...ok...maybe Lynne knows better than to invite "you" over...but she can trust the rest of us. :D

honest

really

c'mon Lynne...you don't have the knickname "Limbo Lynne" for nothing do you??? ;)

And if you're nice enough to let jameskg come we promise to try and keep him from riding that Harley off the diving board.
-That's Five's job this time-

she knows I'll merge her house

Seriously?

That one's uncirculated. Hadn't let it out of my tight little hoarding fists yet. :lol:

[dcbullet]

Yeah, I'm serious. Seriously.

:lol4:

[rspencer]

OK. Just asking, given the name change. :) I'll put that on the list for the anniversary.


I'll look into having theface07 remaster it first. :D

Happy Birthday TTD!!! :vino: THANKS for everything you guys do and a great place to hang out.

I should have logged in a few hours earlier so I could have got user #5 instead of #6 :cry:


...I think,..considering the "loyalty" you've shown for 5 years of dedicated Den service,...that #6 fits you very well. :clap:
And I'm sure you understand that reference Five. :thumbsup

Good to see you again! I hope things are well with you! Thank goodness someone is around to keep Lynne and the rest out of trouble.

[Five]

haha, brilliant :clap: :clap:

you're the only one who understands ;) :cool:

Oh,...trying to save the world and mundane things like that... :)
I don't think I've been having half as much fun as you and everyone else. Probably 'cause I don't hang out here enough.

...but sometimes my neck does hurt from rubbernecking some of the car crashes I come across here once in awhile.... :D
Sure am glad I'm not a mod at those time. :wave:

I hear you're keeping busy on the recording circuit though. That's good-

[Black Dog]

please feel free to post some sentimental shit here.......

Thanks jamie, for walking me through some early torrents, when I was completely clueless............:wave:
Thanks Lynne for sending me that U2 show my niece wanted so badly...:icon_hug:

I've seen many of the cool people here on many other sites, you guys are the fuckin' BEST!!!!

bowman and severin join staff as coders, and also advise us on all matters concerning the site.

[uninvited94]

I missed that very day of the actual anniversary due to my wrecked notebook that made me missing almost the whole week when it comes to Internet and stuff. Sentimental shit from my side? Presumably hundreds of GBs lost with irrelevant bullshit like Black Sabbath. Once again. :disbelief

Happy birthday and thanks for everything and especially giving me the chance of becoming a valuable part of the society by moderating a territory I didn´t even know it existed 5 years ago. :thumbsup

[uninvited94]

Good to see you again! I hope things are well with you! Thank goodness someone is around to keep Lynne and the rest out of trouble.

Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 more years and many more.

[Custard pie]

happy birthday TTD, amazing job all around

[ebsound]

I grew up in Philly in the 70's and 80's. Just wanted to share some memories. I lived in the northeast in the mid 70's and we had a store on one of the main drags that had records i had never seen before. The Beatles stuff was handled by Beatle Bob in the back (Anybody know Beatle Bob?). I got to know Beatle Bob and he hooked me up with some good stuff.

I soon learned that I could take the train in town and there were a few other stores that carried this stuff. I thought it was amazing! 25 mins on the bus, 45 mins on the train, walk the 8 blocks or so to South Street and I could dole out my bucks for whatever prized record they might have in stock. And if you didn't buy it when you saw it, you might never see it again, so the buying decisions were tough! Then I had to hike back to the train and then the bus to get home again. $15 or $20 lighter, maybe $50 for a double, and I would do this over and over, virtually every weekend!

Those were great times but realize that it was an all day thing and there might be nothing available!

Thanks so much for what you do here! Happy fifth!

Now, where can I get a piece of that cake?....

[doctorwu68]

Happy Birthday to all, and thanks for all the work behind the scenes, this is a great place!:clap::clap::clap:

Happy Birthday TTD and thanks to all those that work here and donate their time here. It sure is appreciated.

The real shame is I just passed my 1 year anniversary on here and I was on Sharing The Groove (STG) and somehow I never connected with this place for 4 years. Glad I found it, it feels like home now. Great site and sometimes thanks isn't said enough. Appreciate all the efforts folks.:peace:

[deadtrail]

HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY!:)

I strongly believe that this site has a important impact on preserving forgotten music history as well as bringing new music to new listeners.

And the record industry is NOT what is used to be anymore.:mad:
Issuing a live record today is considered as a bad investment...

YOU SHOULD ALL BE VERY, VERY PROUD OF YOURSELVES!

Keep up the good work!

:D Happy 5th Bday Traders Den! Kudos to the staff and moderators who continue to love and maintain you.
Props to the perpetual seeders!:banger2:
'Try a little harder' to those who leech and enjoy more than they share (a great we're tolerant and won't ban you for being greedy mindset here regardless, btw).
Encouragement for more people to dust off, borrow or buy gear to aud/vid (stealth) record their favorite bands and share it. :clap:
Respect and gratitude for those who also travel, acquire tickets, and risk being 'popped' by security and stressing during the show!!
Thanks for the time and energy used to capture, sync, edit, author, and share the plethora of great shows going on across the planet.

Here's to years more of trading on Trader's Den!
