| Quote (bee @ July 17 2008, 19:17) | A while ago I signd up on the MO.com site for any news/updates that might be happening. I thought it would be quite something to get a text and read the name Mike Oldfield in the message box ( OK, so a little bit daft of me too, but imagination is a free & wonderful thing! and i can dream can't I? !! ) Well I've heard nothing and wondered if anyone else here has? If there's nothing happening then OK, but I don't want to miss out! I'm usually about three months behind everyone else, it seems to me!
And another thing, I received my copy of Dark Star the other day. Always a pleasure to get that. It's true it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, BUT, and this is important I feel, it is just so nice to be able to sit and read in comfort without the whurr of the fan in the computer...it's not loud at all, but it's there, constantly droning gently away! and I love Tubular.net very much but will always greatly enjoy the reading of words on bits of paper and the looking at pictures on pieces of paper! So I really hope that it can continue, and want to support it. Wondered what everyone else feels, I know we have been over this once or twice before, but in my view, there is still a need for both , ie a magazine and internet site to visit.  |
As a matter of fact I've just decided to subscribe to Dark Star after much humming and hawing. Although I generally tend to rely on this site for the latest info about things, I thought, on reflection, that it would be nice to sit down and actually read something a bit more in-depth. And to have a printed copy is nice to add to my collection as well.
(I'm also probably slightly worried that MOTS might be the last album and maybe I'm sub-consciously trying to continue my 'active' fandom by subscribing. The thought of there not being any new MO albums to buy in the future is a very sad thought indeed  )
So yes, I agree with you. I think there is a market for both types of resource. I guess it depends just how interested you are, or whether you want something tangible to collect.

..I really miss him now I must admit.He had a profound effect on my life in one way or another..And now I don`t even know where the guy lives?..It`s sad when you lose touch with people like that,even when you don`t really know who they are at all?
