Demonoid follow-up

I finally got a Demonoid account.

In case you're interested, I got it on a Saturday night and it's my understanding that that is the most likely time to find open registration. I'm hoping to get things from there soon and get them here soon after.

Good luck!

Demonoid?

So I've been trying for a long time, in vain, to get a Demonoid account.

Can anyone help me out?

So I was going to wait a while to post this because it was way down on my list, but then I heard it and was totally blown away by the best remastering work I've ever heard. This is the best I've ever heard Devo, and I was lucky to find this. It's going for over $200 on Amazon, but believe me, I'll be paying that when I have that kind of money to spend on it. Until then, you can hear it RIGHT HERE!!!

Someone Up There Hates Me

I'm 23 years old now, and I've been a Mac user since I was at least six years old (if not younger).

Two days ago, for the first time in all those years, my Mac hard drive crashed. Big time. I lost everything. I lost some photos that I hadn't backed up. I lost some personal writings. And I lost a lot of music that I was going to upload here. About 200 albums to be precise. It's not a terribly big deal, though, because I uploaded most of the ones that I had wanted to.

The computer crashing thing does still suck, but it's hardly the worst thing in the world. My next post is going to be another big one and it's going to be a great one! Check back in two days to see what it is!

President Obama

When Barack Obama came to speak in the town that I live, I got to sit behind him during the speech. Then, as he walked by us and shook all of our hands, I said to him, "I'd be proud to call you my President!" He smiled, just like in that photo. And I am even more proud today than I thought I could ever be.

Thank you, Indiana.

Thank you, USA.

Better days are ahead.

Welcome, President Barack Obama!

This is my most listened-to era of music: underground music of the late 70s. I love it. And this is hands-down one of the best compilations of that scene. You have the typical classics like The Clash and Ramones, you have more underground classics like Wire and Pere Ubu, but then you have thorougly obscure (but just as wonderful) songs from Ultravox and Punishment of Luxury. This is an astounding box set. Get all five discs from one easy link RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!

VOTE!!!!!

If you live in America and you are registered, go vote today!

I don't care who you vote for, be it Ron Paul, Barack Obama, John McCain, Ralph Nader, or Ronald McDonald. I don't care. If you are registered, let your voice be heard. Vote for Obama or McCain if you want someone to have a fighting chance of making it. Vote for Nader or Paul or a third party if you want to send them a message; or do a write-in vote for Rocky & Bullwinkle if you want to give a big middle finger to the whole system. If you don't vote, no one will know what you think one way or the other. Silence is consent.

I have already voted, and I proudly voted for Obama. He's the first politician in my lifetime that has shown any real hope for America's future. Go OBAMA!!!!!!!

Maybe not essential to your rock 'n roll collection, but definitely essential to your Clash collection. This is Joe Strummer growing up, playing songs that were his stepping stones to The Clash. This band is how Mick Jones met him and the rest is history. There are some great songs on here, but a lot of it is just Joe Strummer just revving up to be in his creative explosion, only a few months away. I have one vinyl of theirs, repressed unfortunately, but I definitely recommend this CD over the vinyl, there's more here. Get it HERE!!!

Clearwater Ahead, Indeed

Some great news everyone!

For one, I got a new iPod for birthday, which can hold, like, a million times as much music as my last one. So I am quickly trying to fill it up, and it's fantastic!

Secondly, I got my CD drive fixed, so I have also been spending hours upon hours of the last month or so uploading albums, collections, and videos. I have an awful lot uploaded already that will be making its way onto the blog soon.

Spread the word of this blog, because I'm deliberately trying to get things out there that you won't find elsewhere. The Mark E. Smith documentary is a perfect example of that!

I am also currently trying to get the entire 15-CD set of Hank Williams' Mothers Best radio recordings downloaded through a torrent. It's been over a week and so far I'm at 58.5%, and right now it's in dead water. As soon as I have it up here, so then will you. They just released, this week as a matter of fact, a 3-CD set of select recordings from those, but that's only 3 CDs out of 15. I would happily buy the 15 CD set, quite frankly. However, they're not giving me the 15, so I'm getting it where I can.

Thank you all for the comments! Every comment is one more reason to keep doing this! Thanks again!
