fishy

How unusual.

All the keygens for only Native Instruments software - of which I've bought a lot and nicked a lot - they've had their fucking pound of flesh out of me for their AWFUL fucking hardware (£450 - Final Scratch / £250 - Kore) - strangely got cleaned out by AVG.

Either: 99% of my keygens were filled with viruses that AVG never picked up on for the last X years, but suddenly recognised a magical trojan, OR Native Instruments have maybe paid someone to clean up those pesky keygens.

Who could complain? "I say! Your AV software deleted / blocked my keygen, sir! I demand compensation!"

By making itself something I have to switch off to run programs that I'm certain are safe, I no longer trust (or will tolerate) AVG.

Time to pony up for NOD32, I suppose.

So I Said You Died

Well, that was a pleasant surprise!

Someone took me up on the fact I put up some remix packs, and made a remix of "So I Said You Died"

And duly uploaded it to ccmixter...

And, as is entirely legitimate... didn't fucking tell me!

I was vainly googling something ELSE about myself and I found a really awesome remix!

So I Said You Died - Wakesleeping Mix

[ccmixter page]

Original track:

DeathBoy: So I Said You Died

from the album: DeathBoy: ToRights

Isn't the internets ace?

I'd best contact wakesleeping and tell 'em I like the mix!

Just looking into the work of the chappy-who-remixed-me-via-stealth - he's written a lot of stuff! I only got chance to listen to his first album so far: Naoise

He clearly does the CC thing through and through - it looks like he uses CC stuff for sample sources, then releases his material via CCMixter, which is pretty cool. It's good to see the theory of free material being used to make new works (which are then also released freely) being put into practice, and to good effect.

The tracks on Naoise range from stompy techno to breakbeats'n'bass to chilled textures-and-tones-and-shit.

It's free, it's really good and quite diverse for one album!

If you like electronica, breaks and a hint of the experimental, go and get yourself some great music, free and legal.
