"PURE NARCOTIC" HAS BEEN CREATED TO DISPLAY EVERYTHING I HAVE MANAGED TO COLLECT ON THE BAND 'PORCUPINE TREE', AND IS AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF REFERENCE FOR THOSE WHO ARE ALSO COLLECTING THIS BAND. IT IS IN NO MEANS COMPLETE...JUST WHAT I HAVE COLLECTED.
THE LINKS PAGE WILL TAKE YOU TO MANY OTHER INCREDIBLE PORCUPINE TREE SITES
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE BAND.
I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ITEMS TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION, AND ALWAYS LOOKING FOR LIVE SHOWS TO TRADE. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING OF INTEREST, PLEASE EMAIL ME.
THANKS TO ALL THE FANS THROUGH OUT THE WORLD THAT HAVE VISITED MY SITE AND COMMUNICATED WITH ME. MY COLLECTION WOULD NOT BE WHAT IT IS TODAY WITHOUT THE MANY TRADES FROM OTHER FANS
AND MANY PURCHASES FROM ONLINE STORES ESPECIALLY 'THE FREAK EMPORIUM' AND
BURNING SHED
.
I HAVE MADE MANY NEW FRIENDS AROUND THE GLOBE THANKS TO THE COMMON BOND THAT THIS BAND HAS CREATED...WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT???!!!
APRIL 7 2008:
As promised i worked on updating the T-Shirt page. It is now loaded with images of all the PT and related shirts I have aquired over the years, including a few homemade designs that I felt were worthy of displaying. I've also tweeked a couple pages, probably nothing you'll notice. Changed the font, yet again, for the title of the home page to give it that FOABP vibe. The link page was cleaned up on the last update and some dead sites have been removed and better descriptions have been added to the links I still have. I know there are more sites worthy of being added to this page.. in due time. Next update will more than likely be to the concert chronology pages, since the last year I have is 2003... and they have played a few gigs since then, and I do have a lot of recordings from the last few years.
MARCH 21 2008:
Well, it's been 3 years and with a bunch of new fans getting into the band it seems people have discovered this site and have been requesting that it should be updated (like I've got nothing better to do). So little by little I'll start adding all the stuff I've added to my collection over the last 3 years....DAMN, this ain't gonna be fun or easy!!! I thought I'd start with creating a new page just to display all the posters I have collected. So for now, you see some things dupicated that I have dispayed on other pages, but this new page will show the poster framed and on my wall. In order to make it easy I created a link on the MEMORABILIA page. Check it out. I'll be adding, deleting and tweeking things as I find the time, but since people seem to show interest again, I'll do my best to make changes as much as possible. Thanks to everyone who's sent me emails and posted on the PT Forum ,
and keep checking back for updates.
MARCH 6 2005:
IT'S BACK!!!
ALL NEW WEB SITE ADDRESS THAT SHOULD MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO REMEMBER WHERE TO FIND "PURE NARCOTIC". I NOTICED I HAVE A LOT OF ITEMS MISSING THAT I HAVE AQUIRED SINCE BEING OFFLINE BUT THESE WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL I HAVE AMPLE TIME TO SCAN AND ADD MATERIAL TO THE SITE, UNTILL THEN THE ONLY REAL ADDED ITEM IS THE SHALLOW PROMO CD SINGLE. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RELEASE OF 'DEADWING', SEEING BLACKFIELD ON MARCH 12TH (and maybe March 14th), AND SEEING PT ON TOUR FOR THE NEW ALBUM. I'M SURE I'LL SEE MANY OF YOU CRAZED FANS SOMETIME THIS YEAR AT A LOCAL VENUE. HERE TO A NEW YEAR, A NEW SITE, AND LOTS OF NEW MUSIC AND COLLECTABLES (if I can afford them).
