Blog news
The current state of this blog and its links…
• Nov 09 — After a request from the compilers, we pulled the Live Sets at Ego disc after three weeks, because the disc is still available for sale from Hardwax. Go get it.
• Oct 09 — We hit 100,000 visitors, 13 months after starting. We are amazed. We offer thanks to all, and start pulling rarities off shelves at an even greater rate. Where possible, most rips now at 320 kbps. And all links remain active – unless you spot something, in which case just comment to that effect in the nearest post.
• Oct 09 — Palace of Lights EP temporarily down, and like fools we deleted our original rip. Update: this has been reposted again, in a newer 320 rip. Still crackles a bit, but it is 28 years old.
• Sept 09 — We are backakckkackkkk. And we’ve sorted a better Zip-creator that takes into account the funny idiosyncracies of those PC things a minority of you primitive ape-descendants use, so should be less “This archive is corrupt!” – “No it’s not, your decoding software is just a bit useless” kind of discussions.
• August 09 — We’re away. Because we have friends like you.
• End of Feb 09 — Dicked around with the design a bit. Because we could.
• Dec 08 — General decoding tip: if you’re on a PC, just double-clicking on the archives and getting an error or “file unreadable” message, apparently “Repair Archive” works. Or get a less crap decoder in the first place.
• Dec 08 — Check the comments on the Evolutionary Control Committee post for some extra ECC rarities—with massive thanks to Alexei L.
• Mid November 08 — In the words of the almighty and all the hosts of saints, We Are Back.
• Early November 08 — We Are Away — We are touring the occupied territories till November 11th. Peace and goodwill to everyone.
• Oct 08 — The Residents play the Beatles etc — post removed Oct 13, 08. Not sure if that was the Cryptic Corp or Apple Corp. We trust that this obscure, thirty-one year-old, very out-of-print single’s two short tracks will be appearing officially very soon. Till then, there are plenty of other download links out there.
• Sept 08 — What’s Up With Stock, Hausen & Walkman — post removed at request of SH&W, apparently because there’s a new edition due soon. They’d better hurry up or we’ll be tempted to repost it.
• 31 August 2008 — Turns out we started a sharity blog. Aren’t we the bees’ knees?
