if it's free, how are we supporting them?


or did you mean "support" in the more general, moral sense?

I meant support in the general sense. They deserve our audience! But there is also NFO merchandise we could buy.

Hey just listen to the stuff - that's all I'm looking for. Cash is for the RIAA.

We just want to be held.

This'll likely get moved, but...

Just a note to you who haven't already heard the New Funk Order project by the Org's musicians: By all means, check it out! We've got some very talented people among us! It's fun music, and it's absolutely FREE!

Check it out here: http://www.prince.org/dat.../OrgAd.htm

Dude, you are fantastic! Thanx for the kind words folks, its so nice to see that we're appreciated smile

God bless all

thanks everyone!

Buying a CD and/or T-shirt would most definitely help pay for the website especially after the 51 GB of traffic we got last month!

Let me reiterate: NFO has hooked us up with the website, message board, cafe press site, etc. We hope to generate enough income to repay him AND keep it all going for years to come! No one involved in the NFO will make any money from NFO merchandise. We do this because we love it and we believe in the freedom of music on all levels.


Y'all know you want some of this!

I downloaded Ur track today Therapy! I liked it, particularly the piano. It reminded me of Tricky and that whole Bristol sound. Cool.

NFO

New Funk Order website outage.
Just got off the phone with the "billing dept" for http://hostica.com and they cannot do anyting for me. The "tech support dept" can but has not returned my calls or e-mail just yet.

The billing dept was able to tell me this: It seems that there server has a saftey feature that shuts the site down when we reach over 50GB of traffic (thinking that something is wrong for that kind of traffic). Today, we reached 52.1 GB (in just a few weeks, I might add). For those that don't know, that's A WHOLE LOT OF FRICKIN DOWNLOADS!

So a mixed blessing so to speak.

What to do? When I hear something, I'll post it here. In the mean time, consider the NFO pretty popular for that kinda traffic. Our billing cycle ends on the 18th and the counter will be set back to zero. I'm not saying that it will be down until the 18th, but until I can work out some sort of resolution with tech support, we are down.

I appologize for the poop but it's out of my hands.

Truly a mixed blessing. I want to thank everyone for their interest and support. 50 Gigs of downloads is quite amazing in 2 weeks.

I wish I could access the nfo message board to copy the stats... sad BigThing's track has gotten about 2000 downloads in 2 weeks, I got about 1000. This has been a direct result of placing the anouncement in the Prince.org features section, so thanks to Ben for the support and enthusiasm! The past 6 months our tracks have recieved and average of 40 downloads a month. That's a HUGE jump! Astronomical even.

music Stay tuned...
