Blog news
The current state of this blog and its many links is as follows. Note that, barring any removal requests, we aim to keep all links live, permanently, so let us know if you spot anything that is down.
• August 11 — Back, but distracted. We’ll update when we can can.
• late June 11 — We’re busy doing other stuff for a month or so. In short, T goes from the US to Canada; S goes from an apartment to a house across London. Anyone got any spare boxes, maybe 12″ by 12″? About 600?
• November 10 — Thanks to some frustrated d/lers we’ve discovered Megaupload only allow access to some of our files to recipients who are logged in. It seems to happen randomly. It sucks. Where we spot them, we will re-up elsewhere as soon as we know. We do hope MU isn’t going all RapidSuck on us.
• October 10 — DJ Cesare popped by to clear up the mystery behind the DJ Head record.
• September 10 — We broke 200,000 unique visitors. You fine people fill our heart with pride, or something warm and squishy like that. THX.
• September 10 — Back again, like a bad penny, or more properly two bad pennies. Or one bad pfennig/cent and one bad penny. Or more like two bad mice. Maybe.
• August 10 –- Away. While we’re gone, track down and buy the new edition of Günter Schickert’s Samtvögel. Go on.
• July 10 — Updated the blog roll. Loads more great blogs, not too many recent casualties. Hydra principle officially observed – every time they cut off one of our heads, two grow back to replace them.
• July 10 — Everything’s groovy. All links are live. All of them — though you may have to look in Comments or on this page for some of them.
• 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 buy it. It’s great. Then it sold out, so we re-upped.
• 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 more sophisticated 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?
