Oh man...this is terrible. Are you serious? Well, I thank you for all of you hard work Chico, if the blog is indeed over. I've heard a TON of great music here and your efforts were MUCH appreciated! Thanks again bro!

docalge said...

Thanx for all the great memories you've shared. Your work was sincerely appreciated,my friend. Enjoy your retirement.

Quiet said...

Thank you for the wonderful music -- I hope this is a vacation, and not a retirement.

Marcelo said...

I've just got KC Bible and came to say thanks...Can't understand.This fantastic blog only posts out of print and rare albums.Hope everything 's OK with Chico.

Unknown said...

If you have any respect for Chico you should close down this blog by restricting access to members only, basically making it private and if you want to start your own blog do so on another blogger address. There will never be any "resurrected" floodlitfootprint.. unless it is Chico running it, anything else is basically just hijacking a well known domain name.

Thanks to Chico for the years of great music.. you will be missed.

Cheers

All Rigth, i can't speack englis but i know la little, so i will say what i can.

today a come for a download, i'm a basatard whoy take the album and rarely post a coment on the blog.

it happends that i cudent download the second part of the album 'cos chicho (Till now i dont even know the name of the owner of this blog) he allway pos the second part of the album only on rapid share, and i dont have a premiun acunto on rapidshare, so it is incrdible hard to me download someting from there.

so i post to chico (Whit out knowing him) a mensaje like this:

"Chico you'r a bastar 'cos while yo can post on sharebee, you allgays post the second part of your albums on rapidshare, and i'm poor and i can't pay a rapidshare acount,

your blog is glreat, the albums are great, but the sisteme to downloadit is to much estratificadted."

i say that, an i dont know if he got mad about my coment, i didn't meen to offend him, jus convence him to post the second part of the albums o sharebee.

i don't know, if it was my faut tht the blog colapsed, i even want to cry. please, answer me, at last tell me that it wasn't my faul.

chico, i really sory, please come back if you can. not for me, but for all the peaople that needs you.

i sign anonimous, like i sing my offensive mensage, becous i dont have acounts or blog, like you have.

chico, cleen my tears, thell my that it wasent my foult.

I understand running a blog takes a lot of effort and it brings joy to a lot of people, myself included. Please do not turn this blog off, it is one of the few blogs out there that has some really good music. Please come back.

Oh, no . . . please bring back floodlitfootprint! To be honest, I'm not sure I understand what's going on, I'm not sure what the issue is. But I *do* know that this blog is one of my very, very favorites. Most importantly, I hope all is well with Chico. Secondly, I hope the blog comes back.

bluzthang said...

Don't know whats going on but thanks for all the great music. Hope to see you around the net again.

Admin said...

"The lizar blog king"

Admin said...

I'm listening now an album of thi Nirvana UK Band.

Chico Give it to me.

and i don say thankx to him, but i will keep this album as long as i can.

p0nk said...

damn! why are all the good music blogs dying? Thanks for all the hard work, chico.

Wulfchld said...

I'm so sorry to see it go, but it sure was fun while it lasted, wasn't it? I grew up in the 70's and I never heard half of what was posted on here. What a great way to remind me of my youth and turn me on to great music. It seemed that no matter what anyone asked for, it was posted within a few days. I'll lift a frosty brew to Chico, wherever he is.

Adios Hermano...

kornholio said...

It was all there just a few hours ago. I hope that chico is fine and that this is not the result of any copyrite issues. This was one of my favourite sites to visit - not necessarily to download but just to gaze at the amazing collection of great music that was posted.

I wish we could get news about chico.

kornholio said...

In the meantime, there were many links to other friendly blogs which I failed to bookmark. I would appreciate a list of the related blogs being posted here.

klf said...

If you google the blog, it's been cached, you can still get the links to other blogs. I've got 'em if you need 'em.

poorboy said...

Best wishes in whatever you choose to do!!

Aldoux said...

Chico,

if you want this blog back I can offer all the stuff I've downloaded from here plus mp3 copies from my personal collection. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send my CDs list to you. Keep rocking brother !.

Pandy said...

It disappeared right in front of my eyes...probably anti-piracy wanks. Oh well...thanks for the great tunes Chico! You've cost me a fortune in cd's I'd never heard but had to buy after you introduced them to me.
Cheers

I discovered this blog about a month or so back. Being an avid music fan, I love being exposed and listening to new music. The internet has become an especially important way for me to do this given restrictions of a very limited local market for decent 'older' music. On this site, I have found countless new artists or albums by favourites that I have never heard. I have even ordered many of them online after hearing them. I cannot extend a deserved level of gratitude for this blog.

However, I know nothing of this controversial name or ownership of the blog. All I can do is send thanks to those who have maintained it for the while I have been browsing it as well as high hopes for many more months to come.

If this blog or a successor to it does indeed resurrect, I would love to continue to be a part of it. There appear to be others, but I have no idea how the "private blogs" operate (ie. invite only). So, on a side note, if anyone could explain this process to me, I would be extremely grateful.

In the meantime, best of luck resolving withstanding issues. Rock on and thanks for the short time spent.

smokenman said...

Thank you Chico and friends for all your hard work. It was not unrewarded as I know that you helped myself and many others remember the songs we grew up with. We need that because our generation has a problem remembering things.
Much Love
Skomenman & Friends

This is REALLY SAD NEWS!!!

Chico's had one of the best blogs around: excelent choice of records and bands, great quality of music, and above all Chico's dedication to share his music!!

I visited the site at least once a day ... earlier today I wrote Chico a brief comment: while trying to download an album of THE NICE, the link was deleted almost in front of my eyes ...
I can only assume that this has something to do with the Gestapo thugs that defend us poor souls from the evil distributors of "unauthorized" music.

I owe Chico a great amount of gratitude: a lot of the music I now hear (and buy when I can!) I discovered through his blog and his posts!!!

Hope Chico is fine and that we would hear from him soon!

wajorama (Costa Rica)

Ps. I am grateful that somebody kept the blog's name so we could get some info about what happened and figure out what to do or where to go next ...

Toxxy said...

What the f*ck happened Chico? I hope you're fine buddy and that you'll be back bloggin' before too long.

All the best and...THX FOR EVERYTHING :-)

paulofillinois said...

Thanks, Chico. You will be missed.

paulofillinois said...

Thanks, and best of luck

twee4one said...

Shocking ...

This was the blog where I start to discover the world of Music Blogs and OCH about two years ago. Exploring new (Music) worlds, meeting new friends ... is it now just time for the enemies? It seems that the whole idea was forced down, one shut-down after another.

Thank you for the music ... and floodlitfootprint has made at least one guy happier than before (me).

Unknown said...

A damn shame and a great loss closing one of the best music blogs ever.

thanks for the music

Levin said...

Thanks for all the hard work, Chico.

dunga said...

Gunboy 3 said...

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

I don't know what's really happening, but I left here these words to bring the blog back to life.

Regards, Chico, and I hope you're ok.

sempleman said...

Checked in daily and suffice to say Chico had one of the best blogs around. Hope to see him back in one form or another soon!!

cecco53 said...

Thanks Chico for the great music.
I hope all is well and I hope the blog come back soon!
Thanks for everything.Riccardo from Italy

Humangus said...

I read all the coments but I didn't saw from anyone what I thought.I want to say:Can Chico speak and let us know what he thinks about all this disaster?
You know that you are a FRIEND to all us.

Unknown said...

This Blog WAS incredible!..Chico put in A LOT of work..I made sure I thanked him..A couple things..THIS blog may be gone but ALL the Rapidshare links MUST still be alive..How can we Get a list complied?..Chico How can we search Rapidshare for the files?did you have a method for naming them? and KLF email me the links you have. Mike

Unknown said...

KLF please email me the links..my Add is my user name at patmedia.net Thank you

wajorama said...

Chico included with every file a reference address:
pimpmywarez.com

Maybe he can be contacted there ... or maybe better to let him take a little rest and wait to see what he decides ... don't know.

Of course I will be delighted if Chico decides to come back: with an "open" blog (better!!!) or with a "private-per-invitation" one as RockRula did (hope to get invited if that's the case!).

Unknown said...

OK...I have found.(Thanks to KLF for the tip) There are a LOT of CACHED files on google. in the MAIN link (the link for the 1st text file)..rapidshare has been taken down. But if you go to one of the mirrors it's still working and can be accessed..I'm working AFAIC to get what I can. Also..joined pimpmywarez.com I think chico is there. but I agree w/wajorama give him some time. Mike

Unknown said...

Chico, get in touch with sakalli he enjoyed the attentions of mr.deleter a couple of months back but he managed to pull through, as I am sure that you will. Or you can remake the blog and go private. Either way mr.deleter is gonna lose.
