Strange, there is another thread with the same title(?).... but this one is not exately about merch..
ok anyways, on tom´s site there is a katatonia pendant I have never seen before...and some other interesting merch items.
He has done a lot of work to gather all that stuff! I also used to collect interviews, fotos and so on, I have tons of them om my pc, but never thought to turn it into a fan site because I don´t know about copyrights and so on and it´s too much work.
On the other hand I thought it would have been nice to make a fan site that differs from the official...just because it´s useless to have a fan site that has the same info that u can find on the official site...So pics made by fans, their art, tabs, poetry, whatever inspired by katatonia should go on a fan site...and as stated here before all the official info about biography, recordings, samples, release dates, TOUR DATES, and so on should go on the official one.
it´s not clever now that people who hear from Katatonia and go to the official site can´t find more info about the band and previous recordings, gigs..because there is only one page.That happened with Viva too and I don´t know why the site wasn´t left as it was with the updates about the new album, sample ecc. in the update session.
I can understand they want all the official new site, with new graphics etc, when the album is officially out, but 4 months with only a page and no official site it´s not so good.
And btw, why was the thread about TGCD promo photos deleted?
