TOTALLY PATHETIC

I've been browsing a few of my favourite blogs in the past few hours. I got some inspiration for a post from them. But when I went to my magic box of tricks that has come over with me from Glasgow, I discover that a bundle of songs I thought were inside are not.

My plan had been to bring over all the songs I have stored on my home PC - maybe 12,000 in total. I'm lucky if I have a third of that total with me.

So....in response to Liz at Roaring Machine saying that Victoria by The Fall was worth tracking down. She's right.....and I had hoped to help you along. But it ain't here babes.

Davy over at The Ghost of Electricity and Mick at Raiding The Vinyl Archive combined to make me want to post The Girl Who Waves At Trains by The Lilac Time - but I failed there as well.

So, as I'm now completely lacking in inspiration, it's three great songs that came up on random play back-to-back on the i-pod when I was on the Number 95 bus to work this morning:-

mp3 : The Raveonettes - Attack of The Ghost Riders
mp3 : Violent Femmes - Girl Trouble
mp3 : Idlewild - A Little Discourage

I'll try to be back on form next time round (that's assuming I actually had some form in the past.....).

Just a wee note on fileden.

Today was the start of my next 30 day period for bandwith consumption. Now, in light of me running out last month, I closed down access to all my fileden files via TVV. As such, I should have had zero usage. But I found that someone had somehow got access to my allocated bandwith. I've sent an e-mail to their customer support service but I'm not holding my breath for a satisfactory explanation.

Given a lot of fileden users seem to have been experiencing problems recently, maybe its something we should take up collectively.....

I've never had any joy from emails to fileden but if you go and register on their forums and complain about it on there you might get some joy - they sorted out my problem within 24 hours and other things on thee seem to get picked up almost instantly.

I suspect something squiffy is going on in Fileden land. My bandwidth usage has rocketed disproportionately to my traffic. I know Marcy has also been having problems.

It could be that we're being hotlinked, or something nefarious has happened at Fileden. However, I'm not hanging around to figure it out - I've started the move to a dedicated hosting service...

My fileden bandwidth does seem excessively high and disproportionate to my increase in traffic. However since 5 times zero is still zero ity's not causing me any sleepless nights!

JC - it doesn't look like there is a 7" of Fight Like The Night. It's not on HMV or even Fulltime Hobby's own store on Resonance. And not in any shop I've been into.

Curiously though FOPP digital seems to have survived the chain's collapse and I got the download there on return from my hols.

Oh yeah, are you wanting me to rip Victoria? I'll stick it on MPT tomorrow at some point.
