The Downloads.

We have been monitoring the downloads and it appears that most if not all of the visitors have downloaded without making a donation.. We want to make it clear that any money we receive will be used to maintain the site and to help with future projects and  good causes.   We know that many people are used to downloading for free but as poisongirlfriends know we are not supported by any record company.  The money doesnt go to us personally so please be generous.   In contradiction to the statement at the head of poisongirls website that I personally have 'generously'  given money from Dirty Work: I want to say that other members of poisongirls also support the Dragonfest cause and that I find the congratulation offensive. The culprit will be dealt with.

  2. Dear Lance,

    I regret to say that I am one of those who has downloaded 5 songs and not donated although I wanted to.
    The reason is that Paypal does not support my country, Serbia.
    I'm thin in cash but if all of us donate some small amount I'm sure if would help.
    If you can e-mail me some PO box or snail mail address where I could send money-10 euros at the moment but let's hope I could make more in future.
    Please e-mail the address to me at leka.mladenovic@gmail.com
    Great site.
    Best,
    Leka

  3. Hi Leka,

    Sorry to hear PayPal is not supported in your country. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to offer a bespoke donations system and PayPal meets most of our needs with the advantage of being free of course. Most major debit and credit cards are accepted through our PayPal donations set up though. The link is in the bottom left of the payment page.

    Hope this helps and thanks for your support.

  5. Dear Web Monkey,

    I got frustrated by Paypal, I tried to pay again and when I got to checkout I got restriction which says "The credit card number you have entered cannot be verified. Only credit cards from approved countries may be used on PayPal." as the system recognize that my card is issued in bank at my country. I should wait better times for the donation as recognized as 2nd rate citizen, WTF. All the best, Leka.

  6. Hi Leka,

    Thanks for trying, much appreciated, and again, sorry to hear the payment system isn't supported in your country. I'll ask Lance if he knows another way you can get your donation to Poison Girls.

    Cheers,

  8. As someone who has all of your recorded output on vinyl, I'm really happy to find these downloads on mp3 - I'll definitely be making a paypal donation.
    Can I please ask: why doesn't One Good Reason appear on The Complete Recordings box set?

  9. Hi Lance, I'm happy to donate for downloading, and I do, however, I noticed just a few minutes past that the mp3s for Prominade Immortelle and Dirty Work are actually Old Tart and Crisis on the "All Systems Go" 7", both of which I already downloaded with the Hex LP (and donated, of course), and I see that both songs I'm searching for are on the "7 Year Scratch" LP. Right On. Thanks for having this site! The Poison Girls have been the most inspiring when in times of both joy and crisis. Thanks again.

  10. Hi J M D W, you're quite right. Both 'All Systems Go!' download links point to the wrong MP3 files. This has been fixed. Blame the incompetent web monkey.
