danthemjfan23 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 from their facebook post earlier today: "as many of you have noticed, we've posted some major updates to the KOLS bandcamp page. for those of you who haven't seen yet, i'll wait a few minutes while you go and check it out: www.kolsband.bandcamp.com okay, you back now? cool. so here's what's going on. we're going to try to make that page as complete of a resource as possible with the hopes that all of your years of searching for seemingly "lost" KOLS tracks can be resolved. we've already posted more than 40 albums, live sets, comps, and rarities collections, and there will be more in the coming months. if you have something you think we don't have, please hit us up with a private message here containing a dropbox link so we can download it, and as much detail as possible about what exactly you're sending, and we'll add it to the page. we're making almost everything on the page available for free download (save for a few exceptions where we really want you to support the label that put it out), but you always have the option to donate some money as well. if you do choose to donate, or you have already, thank you. honestly. we want you to know that we're going to be sending that money to a good cause. it will be going to the fine people at Apna Ghar, Inc., which is a foundation that provides holistic services and conducts advocacy across immigrant communities to end gender violence. what does that mean, exactly? well, immigrant survivors of gender violence in the United States face unique challenges, including limited access to legal, social, protective and support services. Apna Ghar provides comprehensive and holistic services to survivors as they begin their journeys of healing and empowerment. they also conduct community education and address systemic barriers that immigrant survivors face. we find them to be a very worthy cause, and that is who we are choosing to support. every dollar you can spare counts, especially when you consider the fact that just within the last 24 hours there have been more than 200 unique downloads. if you still want to download our material for free, please do so. that's why it's up there. or if you would rather support a different cause with your money instead, please donate to them on your own after you grab some tunes from us. we just want these recordings in the hands of as many people as possible, and as easily accessible moving forward as possible. we've been lucky enough over the past 20 years or so to have made friends and gained fans all over the world. if every download from the page came with even a 50 cent donation, though, imagine what a difference we could make... if you would like any more information on Apna Ghar, you can visit their website: http://www.apnaghar.org/ thank you, as always, for your continued support. it's always meant a lot. -KOLS" pretty rad. dude's been putting out music for 20 years and is still finding ways to be relevant and shape the scene. heard he's got a super pro studio out in Portland now where he's recording deserving bands for next to nothing, just so they can have the experience of being in a high quality studio when they otherwise would probably never get that chance. anyway, figured a lot of you might be into a lot of the stuff that's been posted on the bandcamp page. a lot of it is super fucking rare.

monsterrod Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Thank you for posting (ok, maybe it belongs in Everything Else) but I used to really enjoy this band and this sounds like a great charity! danthemjfan23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't lie this was TLDR and now I see this other dude say "charity" and I feel a little bad for being a smartass. But it's still TLDR and no vinyl links so I mean I really don't feel too bad. OP: make a shorter version of this post in the proper forum and people might dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main thing is that it's in the wrong section of the boards. Not a huge deal, it's just a lot to read looking for vinyl news and not find it. No biggie. You can always ask a mod to move it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 i guess i never understood the reason for the distinction. this is major news about a band that a lot of people on this message board care about. having these songs available (in any format) all in one place is something that's never happened before. and there are a huge number of people who never go on the Everything Else section because they're just here to get news. about music. which this is. if the mods feel differently they can move it. i think that'd be silly though.

I would guess the distinction is because some people are looking specifically for vinyl info, and some are looking for...everything else? There are plenty of music threads over on that side, some of which are incredibly active. Maybe if this were called the "music info section." Really not trying to make a big deal out of this, just pointing out that there are separate sections for a reason. Just because someone comes to a specific area expecting certain information doesn't make them any less of a music lover.

chunkrock Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Here's a link to make it about vinyl. Jealous Butcher just pressed You Secretly want me dead for the first time ever. http://www.jealousbutcher.com/collections/pre-order/products/you-secretly-want-me-dead-rsd-2016 Ben is a great dude and Kind of Like Spitting has been very important for me the last 12 years or so. Definitely one of my all times. danthemjfan23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
