Well then....All good things, as they say, must come to an end. Now, I don't know that this blog ever really qualified as a "good" thing, but, from June 4, 2005 to March 5, 2009, it certainly provided me some much-appreciated distraction from the real world.
I've always assumed that I would keep this blog going for as long as I was alive to do it, and so I have. But change is afoot, and the time has finally come to put this thing out of its misery.
I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed visiting here. I hope that you have been able to discover some new and interesting songs and artists within these pages. And I certainly wish you all the very best in your future endeavors -- be they musically-related or otherwise. Aloha.

I for one have truly enjoyed the new groups and variety of music you introduced. You put a tremendous amount of effort into the blog and I'm saddened that you have decided to stop. Take care and may all your future endeavours be successful. Thanks a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteHey. Thanks for the blog, I know I've enjoyed stopping by. Best wishes, man.
ReplyDeletei'm so sad that it's the end. I discovered some great new music here, most recently rockettothesky, which is currently on high rotation on my iPod. thank you thank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou have been greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for putting your musical self out there, for critique or absorbance. You've really opened me up to a great number of artists, and I'm sorry that you're leaving. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks and happy trails!
ReplyDeleteTruly loved the blog, and you more than most others have consistently introduced me to new artists that I can appreciate. Hope all is well. I am going to miss this regular stop, but I'll be checking back with hopeful sentimentality every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Good go on the Radiohead
well, what can I add to this? You've been one of the first blogs that I've added to my blogroll (and vice-versa ;) ), and I always enjoyed coming back here during the last 5 years. So molotov, thanks for all the great stuff you've been posting, and I wish you all the best wherever you may roam!

Say it's not true! I stumbled across this blog about a year ago and have literally checked it daily. Your distraction in turn became my distraction... Now I'll have to find a new distraction :( . Alas! I've loved your mix of the old and the new. Take care. Love & Light. Jo
ReplyDeleteDear Molotov,
ReplyDeleteI will miss you and your blog very much in the future
Thank you very much for all the great music and new bands that you have promoted and introduced
I am sad :-(
Thank you. Have learnt a lot about new bands and music from you :). I often started a day with your blog.
ReplyDeleteNow life will be a bit worser without you :(.
Wish you all the best on every road you will go down. I will miss you.
More bad news in these harsh times. Why, good Lord, why are we being left alone?
ReplyDeleteAll the best for everyone who followed PlagueofAngels
NO, NO, NO - please dont stop...
ReplyDelete...and thank you for the music, you have open many new doors...
So sorry to see you leave. I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to artists I otherwise would have never discovered. I will really miss you, Molotov.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be missed. Not just by me, but even more by the many Danish artists you weren't afraid to feature! Best wishes and take care!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all,and a big hug from Portugal.
ReplyDelete"So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me"

Thank you...
Many thanks for a great blog. Disappointed to see it come to an end but all the very best for the future.
ReplyDeleteThis is a sad day! What a shock!
ReplyDeletePlease say it isn't true!
You have open my ears to so much great music, and taken me out of my 60s music rut.
Thank you for this blog. I wish you would reconsider.
This has been an incredible blog. Some of the mixes you've posted have gotten me into some great bands I'd never hear if not for you. I especially enjoyed your 80's mixes as well. Thanks for all the music!
ReplyDelete- Neil
I'm sorry that you're leaving, I will miss your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for all the music!
Best wishes from Salamanca, Spain.

Positive : I discovered lots of new artists here, many I bought albums, some I still want to buy (but hard to find in a little canadian town...). It also was very important to hear new songs from the recent release of well known artists. Thank you !

Hi Molotov!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a great pleasure!!! Thanks a lot for the music and comments. Take care!
Thanks for everything!
ReplyDeleteI'm another follower of your blog who has benefited from your good taste and all the work it takes providing one good post after another. A good blend of new indie music and also rock standards that shouldn't be forgotten. Good luck to you also.
ReplyDeleteDon't go :( I just discovered you!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!! This blog has been a tremendous help to me in discovering new music - your tastes are remarkably similar to mine so I can truthfully say that I love 95% of the music you presented. Sorry it has to end, but I can imagine it takes quite a bit of time to maintain the high level of quality of this blog.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and thanks again!
You made a massive difference to my life over the past couple of years filling my days and nights with new sounds and artists I would never have discovered otherwise, you will be truely missed. :( Take care of yourself and all the best!
ReplyDeletejeez, reading all these comments has left me rather emotional. This really sucks :( if you ever change your mind, don't forget my hosting offer! <3
ReplyDeleteIt's only been a week and I already miss the new music terribly. :(
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDelete7"
I remember how excited I was to see what tunes you'd post. Especially when I was looking for a song, and you'd post it in a mix. Your site was enjoyed by so many of us. I'm sad to see you go too. Thank you for the music! Take care and maybe we'll see you again somewhere on the web :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to here that. But I will always be grateful to you for all the good music you brought to my attention. In particular, thanks for making me discover The National, almost two years ago, when you posted Green Gloves and Fake Empire.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, THANKS.
Ele
sorry to see you go! i only discovered your blog fairly recently, and was immediately introduced to a number of artists i've heard of nowhere else.
ReplyDeletebest of luck with whatever you take on next. :)
Fare thee well, sir.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to see you go. This was my favorite musical blog. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteOh bugger, what a sad thing! You were always such a good source for fine new things. All the best for you and your ears, maybe you'll start another blog of the same variety somewhere somehow. Thanks so far...
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for introducing me to so much great music. Again, thanks for all your hard work and hope you pick this up again in the future.
ReplyDeleteShame. It was truly great. And you know what what was the very best part of this blog?
ReplyDeleteThe words.
I carried on reading this blog on holiday in Mexico last year wid nothing more than a mobile phone.
I seem to have a habit of discovering great blogs just as they're discontinued, and yours is the latest in the list. Still, you've left a lot of good music up, and I've made a few nice discoveries here - thanks!
ReplyDeleteblog-b-gone, RIP
ReplyDeleteOh boy...what can I say? A verse from an ABBA song seems appropriate...
ReplyDeleteSo I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Thanks...best to you
