HAY GUYS

Are the tracks still not working for you? I'm testing some User Agent blocking in an attempt to curb the streaming of tracks, but I don't know if I'm doing it right.

Here's a little report from April 2006:

That's over 30 GB of transfer per month for these ten tracks alone. 9% of the bandwidth used for the entire month was for the Zelda track. WTF?

Additional Post:
I took the User Agent blocking code down. It didn't seem to work anyway.

I think I'll just start zipping the offending bandwidth stealing tracks. Beginning now.

Well, I removed the htaccess stuff, so that may be why. For now I have just zipped six of the most downloaded files over the past two months. Let me know if you have any problems downloading them.

Let's see you MySpace fuckers try to stream this stuff now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey, I just obtained the OST version of the Children of Mana track that won last week. This version is higher quality bitrate, and official. The music itself is the same, of course. Do you think a replacement is warranted?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Reminds me of the days when SotW was just beginning.

Double Post:
Okay, before it's too late to ask this, does anybody have an objection to the Batman track? I feel it's not very obscure, but I want to check with you guys.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I actually would have given Star City a point or more if I had voted, but I wasn't a huge fan of anything this week, so I basically said "fuck it".

I was speaking idiomatically.
