Hi, all. Thanks for all the support. I will be back soon with new post. It's impossible to re-upload all the old posts. They will be re-uploaded on per request basis. To pay back and thank you all, I am going to give out the really rare Van Kempen Mahler Symphony No. 4. Stay tuned.

Though all the post link files are still available, they are only downloadable by uploader. I don't know what next step should be but stop updating this blog for the time being. Any suggestion?
