Later With Jools Holland - Even Louder [DVD-RiP] [2005] XviD

Hello there.
It's been a while.
Got some great video for you today so I hope you are in a downloading mood cos' there's a fair few files to grab.. still uploading to megaupload so I'll have to add those links probably tomorrow but the rapidshare ones are there for now.

Someone complained to me about the fact I post links to 'lix.in' and 'paylesssofts' too instead of just posting the direct links. I agree they have a god point. In fact if I am brutally honest, I get so irritated when I am at a site and I want to download something and the links are all for some other site that I can';t quickly add to my downloader or whatever!
I started using lix.in etc as the links weren't lasting very long when posted so it was the thing to do at the time, 'protect' them by having a redirection along the way. the theory being that this at least stops automatic harvesting of the links...or stops them being found easily in a search result that is specifically searching for rapidshare links etc. (The obvious problem with that is that of course people can easily search for the redirector site name instead right?)
The thing is, as weak as this theory went, it did work. Links lasted longer when not posted as direct links!
Why? Don't ask me. Maybe the people who would normally take the time to stop and cmplain about the files you were posting, are just too lazy to do it if they have to click a few times first?
I can't think of any other reason really but whatever. It worked so I keep doing it.
I have posted the odd thing recently and not bothered redirecting and the links are still good so...is it time to stop doing it?
I'm not sure so, I won't! Hehe.
But I WILL offer anyone who is irritated a GREAT solution!
There is a site called ShareLinkDevil that handles loads of different types of links and brings you back the real direct links for you to quickly copy into a downloader program .
It's great cos' I hate uploadjockey links cos' the site has so much crap on it, sometimes I can't download unless I disable adblocking, then the ads are sometimes containing malware so it's a shit site but, get the uploadjockey link, go to ShareLinkDevil and paste it in and you get back all the mirror links for sites like rapidshare, megaupload etc and they are in a list so you can easily copy them!

So there you have it, my promotion of the year so far.
Get there now and start using it for ALL your links not just the irritating ones from here! In case you missed that link: http://sld.icr38.net/sld.php

The video. I haven't told you about it yet. Hmm. Let me tell you what I got told about it hehe...

Hey I can help the link collectors out there as I only need to post one link, to a folder at rapidshare with all the links in it. I really ought to do that more often oops.

PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOAD:
People were reporting to me that they were getting erros on these files when trying to extract the video file. The reason is that sometimes files become corrupt on the file hosts servers. For this reason I always check the option in winrar to include a 'recovery record'. All this means is that each rar file, as well as storing part of the video inside it, will also store information that enables it to rebuild and repair itself, should this corruption happen.
I downloaded each file and tested. As it turns out, there are three files here that need the repair function to be used on them.
Please don't worry as it is VERY simple to do.
I had to completely replace file number 4 so, when I uploaded a replacement I also included full info in the comment of the rar file, on how to do the repair process in winrar.
Please go read this document I quickly wrote to assist you in the repair process.
It consists of a few extra clicks and then you will have the file fixed. I tested and all is working well after you repair three of the files.
The three files are:
part 5, 12 and 13.

A request ... Filled! You'd better read on to find out what and who...

Hello and Welcome!
I have now achieved what I was hoping for all this time.
No I haven't found a cure for Crohn's Disease.
Nope, I didn't wake up this morning to discover a high-tech recording studio complete with a drum kit and some electric guitars.
Nope I didn't just win the lottery or find a lifetime supply of cannabis.

I did however fix that annoying problem I keep going on about with the padding between he central column (this one) and the side columns.
You probably don't know or care what I'm talking about but let it be known: Loopyjoe, the chatbox chatter extraordinaire, is the man who told me how so thank you to him.

You probably expect a music site; one which delivers to you an album of music, would at least take the time to tell you what you might expect, or, as I used to enjoy, at least to tell you what they hated about it.
To put it simply, a review or something like it.
I expect the same when I go browsing music blogs.
Not something I really find much time to do these days, when I am feeling healthy enough to be on the PC I am inevitably browsing porn, music sources for this site!

Any of you who have read my shit before now will know that I am leading up to say I have no review for this.
That's all.
It's a request.
I filled it.
End.


WHAT IS THE ALBUM??

Well, a little detective work is required of you my friends, if you are interested in this mystery..
Click here to read about the album and then go to the links below to download it.
(You could always just look at the album cover pic in this post)
I will listen to it later but I cannot get to right now cos' she-who-will-not-be-named is asleep and I can't put the stereo on. The ipod is charging.
I'll post my thoughts on it soon hehe.

The verdict is a huge thumbs-up from me.
I really like this band and am now doing the usual scenario of searching out their other stuff, wanting to hear more.
So now I can most definitely recommend this album and thanks to the comment guy for requesting it.

The Raconteurs - Live @ KROQ 2006 {{BOOTLEG}}

What?
Have I gone totally mad?
I mean ... another friggin' Raconteurs offering. Yeah I know. You could say it's lazy of me, not exactly straining my brain cells to think of this and offer it up for you but, being ill trumps laziness.
What I mean is, it isn't laziness but, more convenience for me, to pick something easy and to hand, whilst I hope to have a better day of health soon.

There is no getting away from the facts though people.
This is a superb band and in my opinion, any little bootleg to add to your music collection has to be a good thing!
I could only find one page about this online and to be honest its hardly worth the visit but..here.
I say 'little' as it is pretty short as they go.
It starts with an interview and then a couple of tracks...grab it and have a listen.
Hope you enjoy it.

1. Interview (live @ KROQ 2006) (0:53)
2. Level (live @ KROQ 2006) (3:26)
3. Steady, As She Goes (live @ KROQ 2006) (5:02)

The Raconteurs, Broken Boy Soldiers [2006]

Hello again...long time no see and all that.
I wasn't fit or lucky enough to actually go to the Glastonbury festival yet again but I was lucky enough to be in front of the TV just at the right time to see something I considered pretty spectacular!
Yeah, really.
It isn't as inevitable as it sounds-being in front of the TV I mean: I rarely watch TV these days...I can't stand the diet of utter shite they feed us through the TV wires.
It stinks.
Big time.
I hate it.
Advertising actually makes me angry.
Maybe anger management would be the answer. If I lived in America maybe.
Over here we just live in our bitterness and stew in it.
Releasing it at weekends is the usual pastime. At football matches or in pubs when the fighting is mandatory.

Anyway...!
The raconteurs.
Why had I not listened to them before now?
Jack White.
The problem I had with this band, or any band he was in(or with) in the past would be one thing...the word 'tosser' always overtook my mind and it was always a bit off-putting. He just..arrgghh! He just pissed me off.
I am so judgemental it hinders my enjoyment sometimes.
Obviously.
Naa. I don't agree with that last statement at all.
I reckon, until Jack White started this last album with The Raconteurs he was a bit of a wash out. Not quite hitting it. Always working away, always putting out music but somehow, something wasn't quite doing it.
Not for me anyway and I know I'm not alone in this.

So on we go to 2008 and their Glastonbury performance.
Did you see it?
Were you THERE...you lucky person...grr...envy...
Would you like to see it in pretty good captured from digital TV, their set on there? (Let me know as I have it and I love it) - leave comments.
I justsat and watched it. that's all.
Fucking absolutely mind-blowing is all I can say.
They were so tight, reminded me of what you might term 'the perfect Rock band' or something... hehe.
Seriously!
Led Zeppelin used to do that.
To have a band in 2008 that even comes close (and admittedly they do sound like them too in some tracks) is just incredible.
I have been listening to them a lot since I watched them and it just gets better.
They really rock!

I am posting the older album for you here as it would seem the new one is everywhere already (I will post it next of course!).
So if you are late to the joys of this best band of our times then here is your chance...start now.
Good night!

Panic! This is Pretty Odd.

PANIC! AT THE DISCO - PRETTY ODD.
Hello again
I was planning on giving a good run down of this album as I sat taking notes yesterday over each track...I really really do rate this one, I think it is brilliant. I remember getting their last album and, although I liked it, this one is a different flavour. So many influences can be hard in it...some beautiful, rockin', pop, and so many other styles hidden in amongst there.
Anyway people yet again my health situation is overtaking what I would like to do and leaving me with what I am able to do...two very different things.
so I just bring you the album, tell you its great...believe it!
and you can download it.

Pssst. Heard this yet? CD of the Week (according to The Guardian)

Hello fans
Sometimes I hear something on the radio (I recommend BBC Radio 6 Music, weekends for some 'eclectic' choices) and it's new, fresh, different and well...I want to share that knowledge around here so that's what this post is about.
Unfortunately some bands don't seem to like the free distribution of their music (can't think why..OK that was uncalled for) and so, when you search for some bands you find a million deleted rapidshare or megaupload links and numerous copyrighted material warnings and dead links. This indicates a couple of things to me usually: the album is popular; the artist doesn't want it to be popular as in 'free'. (Quite right, I agree).
So to cover my own balls I am not going to be so stupid as to upload this bands album today.
No Sir-ee Bob (as Richard Pryor would say), I am more cleverer than I presume to look.
Instead I will do two things: I will firstly tell you all what a great and exciting band I really do think these people are. I think they might never be HUGE but that says more about the moronic music industry and the media than it tells us about bands like this. It seems they have lasted and I think they will go on to do so... and, I know I WILL actually...yes I am going to say it..BUY their music.
by the way, it sounds like I am saying this is a new band. this is actually their fourth album. They are just new to me but I am always a bit slow.
The second thing I am going to do is to give you some links here which I found on some other sites, therefore I had nothing to do with it.
Anyway if you like it then go and buy the damn album if it makes you happy - make someone else happy.
(Isn't that how life is supposed to work?)
..
...
....
..... - never fucking does though eh?


Did I mention their name?

E. L. B. O. W

The album name?

Manchester band too. Might have guessed cos they're just DAMNED good :)

School of Language - Sea From Shore [2007]

Hello all
A bit slow today I realise but life is a bitch and then you die. You must know that by now.
So who the hell are School of Language?
Don't ask me.
No, seriously. Someone told me I need to get listening to them if I want to even consider myself 'on the pulse' of what is going on in the music scene these days.
Well if this is the pulse I'd rather it was dead.
Fuck!!
OK, they aren't the worst or even close to the worst I've heard but that doesn't save them from being pretty damn boring in my book.
this whole 'Indie' thing is a bit overrated it seems.
Didn't it used to just mean an Independent artist or label release?
Now it brings with it the assumption of some genre that smacks of 'street/grit-rock, bohemian, different/original style, pretentiousness, old fashioned or conversely so modern no one dare understand it, not forgetting pretentiousness...oh and Pseudo Avant-Garde/Art-pop/art-crap and erm..pretentious waffle - did I mention that?'
Crap.
That's what it has become: Crap.





Let me say a few words on this actual album though instead of this general diatribe on the Indie scene...
The album opens with a very distinctive and refreshing concoction. Vocal percussion you might call it. I love it. voices arranged in a way that really draws you in...just a layered effect of the words 'ooh and aah' hehe no really!) and it works bloody well!
The song lifts off from that promising start and it really rocks.
Track two is erm...well...much the same with a lower tempo but it does have the same track title albeit 'part 2'.
The next track is poetic justice in motion with it being titled 'disappointment '99'
The disappointment, for me, is the rest of it from there...a few irritating tracks with irritating drums and loud parts that don't deserve to be, quiet parts that are just plain boring and a general dragging sensation throughout.
There is an overall suggestion of some kind of avant-garde/arty farty-ness.
I might be wrong but you decide for yourself. Maybe you like Arty Farty Indie?
Maybe I should have been kinder as this is their first album.
Fuck that.
They should try harder eh?
:)

Stephen Malkmus & Jicks - Real Emotional Trash [2008]

Hello there.
I just got back from hospital today where they enlightened my soul with a friggin 'Barium Meal or Barium follow-through(to be more accurate)'
Worst damn meal I ever had believe me!
If you've had one before then you know what I'm saying. If not, why not educate yourself a little whilst your here and read this.

Anyway, gurgling and spasming gut-ache aside, I got myself another new album yesterday for you.
Hard to believe for two in a row but...I like it!
Not as good as the Banhart one but I know half of you won't agree.



This seems quite different from another Malkmus album I posted a while back, his last one (I forget the name). It's a good collection of tracks though and I do recommend you give it a go.
I find myself struggling for a genre once again here. Any suggestions?
It might horrify you to hear my take on this album but here goes: It actually puts me in mind of Progressive Rock!
I used to listen to so many of the old Canterbury Scene english Prog-Rock bands back in my stoner days. (aah the memories....) bands like Camel, Caravan, Gong and many other lesser known ones.
The first song has a very Camel like bassline and from that track as the intro to the album, I just kept hearing other riffs and basslines in there that were close to Caravan et al.

Some lovely strung out solo guitar pieces that sound trippy and exciting ... with passion and music that builds and builds on layers until reaching a crescendo...then gently carries you off. Some of this is very like Emerson Lake and Palmer. If you like this and you never did the 'Prog Rock thing' then go and grab an album by ELP or Caravan or Camel or Steve Hillage.
You just might like it.
Bloody good music.
Let me bow out at that.

Real emotional Trash? Far from it.

I just wanted to be a smartarse by uploading it fast after the request appeared in the shoutbox.

This better be good after all my searching.
I think it is about time I gave you a 'searching the net' tutorial :P
Anyway here it is...

2. Emily Snow (4:09)
3. You are the music (3:24)

This is an Indie album of a running time totalling 45 minutes and 27 seconds precisely, by someone who likes to be known as M.Craft which, I am assuming, is actually a reference to their real name.
If you want some real information then do a fucking google search you moron...what am I Amazon??? Wikipedia?
Fuck off.

The Enemy - We'll Live And Die In These Towns [2007] ~Plus recent Single CDS

Hello friends, Romans, Countrymen.
(ahem). Did I say I was back? And erm, did that mean I would update every day?
Oh right.
Hehe. Never assume anything. Like my not assuming I would be able to stay healthy for more than a day or two at a time. Had a f*cking rough few days of it.

OK MUSIC!

I saw this band recently playing on some late night show or other...might have been Jonathan Ross or something like that. anyway the music seemed to be totally at odds with the guys I was looking at on the stage. You basically had three young guys sitting there, looking like they really didn't give a shit for the whole situation, wearing trainers and sportswear...short hair and...well..just like any other young thuggish types you might see on every street corner of England any night of the week.
Hehe Do I sound old??
No surely not!
Yet there they were playing this music that just hit your brain cells right through the front of the skull and rebounded from ear to ear without giving you much of a chance to analyse what was happening: you were already too late for that. You were nodding your head and tapping your feet to the excellent and addictive beat.
Don't believe me?
Try these guys out they are fucking great.
I hear similarities with bands like - the obvious one- Arctic Monkeys- I am Kloot and other northern English bands that I just can't think of right now. Yet the title track REALLY sounds so close to a Paul Weller or The Jam sound that you'd swear it was Weller!
So let me present to you....

The Enemy.

Hello and I'm back.

As the title suggests, I feel confident enough in the last few days to come here and say that I really am back at last!
Still unwell but to hell with it. I have had a pretty difficult few months and, well, let's just say I have decided to come out fighting and am having a swift change of attitude...I was getting a bit too defeatist there for a while. Kind of not giving a shit about things...resigned to being ill 24/7.
I don't think I was being weak...it just gets you sometimes and, well, if you aren't careful you can let pain and shit get the better of you..etc..etc..etc..bla.
So fuck that!
I'm back and this time it's erm...whatever.
It is no coincidence that, here I am posting this and...do you know what happened today?
You guessed it, THEME TIME RADIO HOUR season two aired it's first show in USA on satellite radio .
Hmm. I don't have satellite radio here.
But I know a man who can...or something like that.,
Just like the first season, get the show here and ?I will promise you consistent high quality MP3s every week, hopefully within a day of the radio broadcast.
I am downloading the show right now but it kind of clashes with UK night time and I am sooo tired.
It isn't what you want to hear. It isn't really what I want to type.
However, I can't wait for it. It's now 2am.
Going to sleep.
Will get up early.
Will post the new show.
You will have it in a few hours.




MUSIC FOR TONIGHT
While you're here you might as well grab this...another UK bands album of britpoppy-indie-cool-acoustic and relaxing stuff.
I like it.

Little Man Tate - Man, I Hate Your Band [2006]

I haven't been being very fair to you lot. the fact that you still drop by means that already you are seemingly more committed to this site than I am.
It isn't true, just struggling lately as I keep going on about.
I'll try not to.




So just another quick update for you.
This is an album I have been listening to quite a bit lately, Little Man Tate - Man, I Hate Your Band.
I first heard a track on the radio a month or so ago and immediately I thought I must get the album...I forgot and time passed but I got there eventually.
I'll give you an idea of what they sound like in the shortest review ever:
A refined version of Arctic Monkeys.
This is the music the Arctic Monkeys would be playing if they had just a few more years on them.
Haha. Maybe.
It is a similar kind of music but a whole lot more melodic. Tuneful.
The lyrics are great too.
It's very 'street' in the same way the Arctics are but it doesn't lose the average man who doesn't live 'street'.
If that makes any sense?
(It doesn't to me either so don't worry).

I hope you like this album as it friggin' ROCKS!

This disco is a bit shit...not really. Actually it's damn good.

Hello once again.
No updates for long time I see.
One Word: Illness.
OK that's that dealt with, let's Moooove ON!

I have been furtively (!!) uploading in preparation for todays grand update. Well OK, it isn't that 'grand' but let's face it: and more than two albums a week around here is pretty grand isn't it?
(Oh by the way, feel free to help pout by uploading your favourite albums to rapidshare or somewhere and sending the links to me!)
Let me kick off this belated weekend post with a band who are, surprise surprise, NEW to me, maybe even new to you? either way I find them hard to describe with much of a degree of accuracy for some reason...When I suggested they reminded me of 'a typical yet not too typical 80's sounding band'(and I don't mean like all the other shit you hear nowadays a-la kaiser chiefs etc etc), anyway yes, where was I.
Oh yes, when I suggested to my dear woman that they sounded like something that was verging on 'Depeche Mode-meets erm,-something-else-that-isn't-quite-as-crap' She told me to shut up talking shit.
You probably will too.
Obviously none of you were privy to the EXCLUSIVE Depeche Mode material that I had back in the day.
Either that or I'm just talking crap.
As always...YOU DECIDE!
Let your ears do the work for you...ignore me and have a good ol' listen to
Shitdisco and their recent album, ..Kingdom of Fear.
Shitface.

Before I go..
Wikipedia Says this.
But we all know you can't trust anything you read on there, It is either; written by some teenager angst-ridden masturbator who vandalises pages just to 'annoy the world', or it's been studiously created by those pedants known in the Latin as Nerdicus Extremis. These cnuts know so much it's sick.
Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. Look at Einstein.
Look at OJ Simpson. (oh no he got away with it didn't he?)
Well just look at hat Russian guy who drank Polonium for afternoon tea.
His name, Alexander Litvinenko in case you cared.

Enjoy it won't you. I kind of forgot to say...I really like the album and it's bloody brilliant an all that.

Right. I have got loads of stuff here to post(all the stuff I uploaded!) and I really have no bloody energy to sit here right now. I'm fucking sorry people but, going for a rest. I will TRY my best to post more tonight even though it's just turned 1am here...

[2007] Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

Well I thought I would see what the hype machine was droning on about around these parts(No not the fuckin' website...it's just a term, knob-head).
It seems that whatever newspaper I look at or website I read a review on, the band that made sellout history with their first album have gone and (kind of) done it again insofar as they are getting gleaming reviews. Strange thing is that most reviews have a negative slant and then build up or end with comments like 'they really are a class act' or similar shit.
So is the second album as good as the first?
It isn't as much pop. It isn't as much singalong for the same reason. Maybe I am missing something that everyone else is picking up on. Or is it that I am picking up on something that everyone else isn't??
More likely in my opinion.
Whatever the case may...
On the first listen I was left thinking that Arctic Monkeys really have matured, their lyrics still have that resounding and cutting street quality to them...sharp and often witty. The music was definitely more challenging in parts with a lot more 'noise' where there used to be melody.
On the second listen I already knew the tunes of a few of the tracks and was still enjoying it.
The third listen was draining on my brain. My other half actually shouted through and asked if I could turn it down or put it off as it was 'doing her head in' !' I replied by turning it off as I agreed.
I am afraid to say that, as much as the lyrics are brilliance at times, flashes of genius in the basslines or drumming and some cracking riffs...that Alex geezer has got one fucking irritating voice!
There is a lot of noise about this album.
Rightly so.
This album is little more than a lot of noise!
Not one I'll be playing often.

I suspect my opinion is not a popular one.
It's shit being right all the time.

Joy Division - Heart & Soul BOX SET 4DISC[1998], Substance[1988] & A Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division [1995] [DEX]

As I have never really spent any time listening to Joy Division, I asked the woman of my dreams, She Who Must Not Be Named, to say a few words about them.
The files are all hosted on some directory but I took the liberty of downloading them all first so that if you go to download them and find the links no longer work, drop me a message in the comments and I will upload them to the usual places for you.
Now I will shut up.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hello again.
I have been asked to provide some words so here goes.
Prepare to meet either a wall of gloom or, if you have a nostalgic need to recreate the atmosphere of late 70's and early 80's Manchester, a flood of Factory Records' favourite sons at its best.

Joy Division takes the listener to Manchester; a dark place at the time, full of angry, disillusioned youth seemingly waiting for something to happen to take them away from the misery of post-indusrialism. Desperate for light and hope in the face of such darkness, young people congregated against a backdrop of inner city poverty, of massive unemployment and alienation, to while away their weekends listening to a mass of musical output that surged from the bowels of discontent.

Joy Division gave us bleak, gothic, experimental yet directioned rock in the three years that they produced music - until the lead singer, Ian Curtis, hung himself in 1980. The band then collapsed and reformed as New Order.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Firstly a 4-disc Box Set -Joy Division - Heart & Soul, which must be great for a fan right..then there is an album even I have heard of - Substance which I don't know anything about(!) and then there is some kind of tribute album or something by 'Various Artists' and entitled - A Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division which might be good, might not.
Who knows.
If you are interested then hurry on over to the link below!

Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock & Roll [2005]

Yup. Finally. I uploaded it. If you liked the EP, you'll love this, it's been in my cd player non-stop for quite a while now. If you didn't download the EP, here's a quick overview. Funny, down-to-earth lyrics talk/sung/shouted over insanely catchy guitar riffs. You'll love it, I promise.
Unfortunately, because I'm a dumbass, and halfway through uploading the songs, I started forgetting to password them, I passworded a .zip with the text file of the links, and the NFO, and uploaded that. So when you're downloading them, some of them might ask for a password, and some don't.

Howling Bells - Howling Bells [2006]

I somehow came across this band the other day completely by accident. What I mean by that is that I wasn't looking for any music at that time, I was just aimlessly surfing the net trying to focus my mind from pain etc. I found a page where someone had uploaded a couple of tracks and was going on about how great this band was. I couldn't read that and then just go off without trying them for myself now could I?
Am I glad I did!
I now have them in my playlist on Winamp more than anything else (for now).
I love it!
Think 'Nick cave' meets 'PJ Harvey' meets Transvision Vamp (yes seriously) meets Siouxsie Sioux(get this - I have just been informed that they used to be a couple and I knew nothing of it!!)... meets that 90's UK Grunge sound.
Interesting mix?
I can't tell you enough times YOU MUST hear this.

Unfortunately I discover today that the so far brilliant and fast, unlimited file hosting service MEDIAFIRE.com, has now announced it will no longer be accepting password protected rar files.
Fair enough, bad news and all that but the most annoying thing is that they didn't actually fuckin' announce it; I uploaded a huge file there and when it had finally finished uploading the page refreshed with the message informing me of the new rule and saying the file would not be hosted there.
Might they consider just telling us BEFORE we upload something?
Damn.
On a lighter note, I just spent about a whole days worth of hours removing the worst virus I have even encountered. Ever.
It consisted of lots of separate files which all helped each other to stay active and stop me removing or deleting any of them. It is a horrible thing when you delete a file and it reappears right there in front of you.
Even more horrifying is when you try to run any of lots of security programs, even the registry editor and windows throws up an error saying the file cannot be found...when you are looking right at the file and it is definitely there!
I learned a lot today.
I learned about 'Image File Execution Options' which, you would hope you never have to. This part of your loving XP registry is where you can enter a file name and an alias which basically means, if I enter notepad and give it the alias iexplore.exe(the Internet explorer program file) then, any time anyone tries to run notepad internet explorer will open.
now, imagine if you have a huge list of every known antivirus program file written into there with the alias file all being redirected to the actual virus! Causing it to be executed multiple times any time you try to do anything! Then add to that the ability, whenever I open ANY explorer window, for a pair of files to be instantly created which are another part of the virus...I could go on.
One more thing, this seems to be a very new or little known about virus too.
A Google or any other search only brought back pages from China...and not many either.
I like a challenge though.
I won.
Heh.

For any of you not savvy in the area of computing generally: You have NOTHING to fear from any mp3 files or anything I upload!! The virus infects EXE files and DLL files only. Plus, you should scan everything you download anyway, not like me...I learned that much today: To stop being a twat and thinking I had an invincible PC!
