OiNK & tv-links: neva4get

Condolences too to the poor bastards who got canned. Not that they could even charge the tv-links operator with anything. As well arrest Google; see g2p for the potential legality of their links. Apparently the mistake made by these individuals was basing their operations in a country that gives a shit. They can't actually prosecute the sites that physically host the links on tv-links, you know, the ones that are actually breaking the law, because, well, I guess it's a lot less work to don riot-gear and get to profession'ly chastisin' some poor nerd from Cheltenham or, in OiNK's case, let loose the malnourished office-jockeys in the computer crime department for a one-off jaunt to Amsterdam to beat on some unfortunate stoner's server rack.



It all comes across as a bit pathetic. OiNK had about eighty thousand active members. That's compared to some eight million knowing downloaders of unlicensed music in the UK alone, as of four years ago. I mean, we're living in a world where around one in ten eight year olds illegally download music. Apparently some people still aren't getting this. It's become laughably easy to watch and hear shit for free. Fuck off the guys at least trying to maintain some of the quality of the product and get to making that product something worth paying for.



Cue open-source totally automated de-centralised invite-based torrent software. As LimeWire proved, you'll have trouble arresting a program.

pix pls

i got bored opening an ftp client every time i wanted to upload a picture (too stubborn to use imageshack or fagbucket - what the hell is the point in having a website if you have to use other people's) so i got the img section going. go login and try it on for size



i offer this as further proof that sometimes i do things

Breakfast EP

It's been a while! The holidays have been pretty riotous, what with usual Suffolk fair, the festival here in Edinburgh (which we did better at than last year, thanks to Anna) and wild mind-expanding music making in the rural Scottish Borders. Angus and myself churned out enough bizarre little numbers for an EP of sorts. We're no longer simply cantlin & angus though, but British Organ, a name taken perhaps inexcusably from that of our favourite sound on the Korg MS2000. I was distressed to uncover no significant difference of design between organs British or otherwise. If you're particularly interested, you can hear the sound clean in track four of the EP, my limp little pop pastiche, or twiddled & dirtied on Good Friday, an old track not on the record.

So, uh, we now have a MySpace and everything? If you actually want to listen to the tunes though you should go ahead and download them in decent quality. We like feedback.
