MP3 Downloads
Here at Irregular HQ we have received a few complaints that the MP3 downloads from MySpace either don't work at all or end up on your pooters as corrupted files or empty stubs. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience! We did some digging to find where the trouble is...
...and we found there were several gremlins and other bugs & pests in the MySpace machinery which seem to have eaten away on the links!
So after chewing some veggies, I've decided to park the MP3s at a different location! To get your mitts on the MP3s, please click on the corresponding titles below! I hope that solves the problem.

PS: If problems persist, please contact the MySpace webbie of this page as no amount of crunchy veggies, nuts or seeds will give me any brighter ideas!

I noticed your comment about MySpace gremlins. I've found a lot of deliberate censorship of my stuff. Somebody recently added my Galaxia song "Do They Know It's G8 Time?" to her profile, and it appeared with lots of spaces between "it" and "'s" and the band name truncated to "Gala"! Maybe you'd like to switch to the Project Playlist software I mention below. I use it on my personal MySpace page and put comments on my two bands' pages earlier today advising people to use it rather than the default MySpace facility. The default facility does have the advantage of plays being counted, and you have to be prepared to have your songs in MP3 format downloadable for free to use Project Playlist...
There are revolutionary songs you (or others visiting your profile) may like to hear, by my bands Red Day and Galaxia, and some unaccompanied musical poetry I performed last year, on my profile. "9/11 Inside Job" is particularly important.
You may even like to add some music to your profile; I am now using Project Playlist (www. playlist. com) - far better than the MySpace software or MyFlashFetish that I used to use; it's very easy to use and free from censorship.

hope you're well. i just posted a new song called "terrorist regime" which i hope you might like. if you ever get the time, i'd appreciate your thoughts on it!
hey robb, thanks for adding me, i appreciate the earnestness of your music, you say it straight like it is; "fuck you william shakespeare and fuck you rupert murdoch" indeed! not sure what you'd make of my stuff; the political songs i have up are "woe human" (about genicide and other fun stuff like that), and "virgin condoms", (a humble suggestion for our dear friend richard branson's next product). please come and check it out if you have a boring moment and let me know what you think, good or bad. keep up your valuable work; it deserves to be heard by everyone, including his royal highness!
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
