The Weathermen profile on Last.fm. Sadly due to Last.fm's inability to differentiate between groups with the same name this profile is attached to about half a dozen groups called 'The Weathermen'. Go there and support ours. Join the group above.
shopping
buy weathermen stuff at the uk's leading alternative music store. Sadly, MusicNonStop has now closed up shop.
you can buy the 'daytime tv' ep from these people.
...or these people...
...or these...
probably the best source for the weathermens back catalogue.
try and buy 'deeper' via homebrew artists favourites cdbaby. these people are a bit mad. but allegedly in a pleasant and harmless way that doesn't require constant supervision or experimental medication.
Legally purchase some of the weathermen back catalogue for download from playlouder.com
The Weathermen page on the (in)famous allofmp3.com. You can get full albums here for very very cheap. They do it by using legal loopholes in the law in their country to rip off the artist. In the case of other such gray-market stores what little you do pay for your music possibly goes into the coffers of mobsters and terrorists. Regardless of where it goes you can be sure that virtually none of it goes to the artist (I think the loophole is such that they pay royalties for the sale of just one physical album, no matter how many virtual albums they actually sell. So the artist , or more likely their record company, will see perhaps €2 or €3. If they are lucky. In the case of the weathermen, considering their relationship with pias it's unlikely they will see any royalties from allofmp3 sales. PIAS may earn enough money to buy a cup of coffee and a crossiant.)
If you want to support the artist then do it properly. Common sense rules at the end of the day. You can pay a bit more and get a hard copy with money going to the artist, or you can buy on the grey market, get it dirt cheap and fund no-one but scammers and gangsters.
it's your choice.
