Hi all

First of, thanks for all the great support and feedback!

Even though I was gutted when Filesonic blew up, it has been weird for me to not be posting on Core News since the break, and I have to admit that lately I have been missing the blog.
So now I have decided to do a bit of posting, but in a smaller scale that are not so time consuming, and focus more on the music that I enjoy.

Right now I’m trying out Depositfiles as file host. It is not an ideal solution, and I might change if I find a better host. And who knows how long the hosts last these days…

Hopefully some of you readers will come back and enjoy the music we love 🙂

Update: See this post for the latest news – https://corenews.me/status-for-core-news-take-two/

As you may have noticed Filesonic suspended downloading of files this weekend. This is probably due to Megaupload being destroyed by FBI.
Many other file hosts have fully or partially closed their services, and this will probably change the internet as we know and love.

Let us hope MPAA, RIAA, and all the other backward power houses in Hollywood (and worldwide) will go out of business soon. Their business models are ancient and they need to get up to date with the technology, instead of trying to cripple the internet.

For now Core News will take a break and observe what will happen next. Thanks for understanding and keep on loving good music.

I’m on vacation in Northern Norway with very limited access to the net. For the next week there will most likely be no or very few posts on Core News. Meanwhile you can check the archives for great music that you might have missed. Core News will soon be back with all the regular shows.

Some of you might have noticed a lack of posts on Core News during the last two weeks. The reasons for this are several including a broken modem, a broken ADSL line and malware-hell caused by old Java installs. Core News are more or less back on track now so expect to see the regular radio shows/mixes appearing once again as downloads.
I appologize for the slow period on the blog and I hope the bad streak is over!

Have a great summer filled with lots of good music!

What a year 2009 has been for us music lovers! I have discovered tons of new talent this year and even experienced new styles of wicked music. I want to thank both old and new readers for making it so enjoyable to blog about the music I love, and making the blog grow bigger and bigger.

Core News is taking a 10 day holiday break as I’m heading to Northern Norway (you might see sporadic posts depending on my internet connection), but Core News will come back with massive mixes in the beginning of 2010. Next year I also want to make some changes to Core News like a much needed redesign of the blog, podcasts, exclusive mixes and more. If you haven’t already you can get updated by subscribing to the feed by a feed reader or email to get notified when the mixes start turning up again.

-Happy holidays from Thomas of Core News

Core News is heading to Northern Norway for 10 days and there will be no new posts in this period due to lack of net connection.

Meanwhile you can check out the Core News archives for tons of lovely music, check out my photos from Northern Norway and do some procrastinating on my favorite website reddit.com.

I promise to be back with more music in the end of July 🙂
