ModPlug Unplugged

[davidn]

Just after my total number of song downloads had reached the 40,000 mark, Modplug Central has been smashed to bits by a hurricane and then erased entirely by a faulty hard drive. It's slightly bad news as I was planning to put a link to the experimental version of my music site in my next release. Still, I'd appreciate any comments that people may have on it if you can stand the utter pretentiousness of it all. Happily, none of the links work now, but the actual files are still up at the ModArchive.

Still, it could be worse - I've been following the amh_alarmlog maintained by e_to_the_ipi, and it made me realise how I hadn't yet noticed the absence of a fire alarm. I remember the frantic struggle out of bed whenever I was woken up by it, the shock of it going off behind my head, and waiting in the rain playing "Always look on the bright side of life" on my guitar while the firemen and engineers completed their slow tour of the building, only for it to go off again a couple more hours into the night. So I was thinking about how I'm free, and they're still living under the tyranny of that bit of red plastic.

I laughed for hours!

When you recorded that, we all laughed. But it seems your decision to record it was very useful. I take it the juxtaposition with discussion of your music means that we are to expect it to turn up unexpectedly in something you do soon?

Actually, I can't think of anything more hideous.

Yes, I know. It was intended as a joke. Even if I can't have been in my right mind when I typed it "expect it to turn up unexpectedly?"

i thought i was free too, then the flatmate had a piping hot shower without the extractor fan, before opening the bathroom door to let all the steam out.

I didn't especially want an 0730 alarm call on my day off, but i got one anyway.

That is a very slick site, right there.

Thanks.

By the way, are we going to be hearing any new music from you soon?

You're welcome!

I write PC speaker music for the ZZT work I'm doing (when I have time), and I'm still doing MIDI to sketch song ideas. It's production and polishing I'm not so good at.

There is this (http://madtom.fsfunky.com/music/), but there's only one song so far.
