it’s better to have beer in hand than gas in tank

firstly, since my first plea went unanswered, can someone please try and download something using safari. i believe the problem has been finally fixed, but since i dont have safari at my disposal i have no way of knowing. thanks…

so, yesterday we made the mistake of leaving the house and needing gas. it wasnt like we had half a tank, or even a quarter tank. we were on fumes or at least the gas monitor thing in the subaru was telling us. all i am going to say is that if you have more than 3/4 of a tank, you have no business getting fucking gas. some dumb ass broad walks into the station and the guys goes “how much?” she in turn says “i dont know i am only topping it off.” you, fuck face, are part of the problem! and to the hippies in the late 70’s mercedes, if i were a violent or confrontational dude i would have kicked both of your asses for filling up 5 or 6 gas containers. god damn, people! my faith in humanity while always not very sunny, is at its darkest point.

anyway, i could seriously ride this re-post thing into the ground - i have almost three years worth of shows and such. of course i wont do that, though. so, until normal posting resumes, tomorrow, here is dylan’s banjo tape/nyc town hall - visit bobs boots for more info.

    no problems with safari. Actually never noticed a problem previously.

    I know for sure that the Town Hall version of Masters Of War was released in the Bootleg series for the No Direction Home soundtrack.

    Just wondering if it should still be posted.

    thanks, pucca. yeah some people had issues, some didnt. when my mac was still operational, safari worked fine for me. who knows?

    @ andrew, good lookin out man thanks.

    just tried downloading the first track with safari (using a Mac) and got “0 bytes of? — no permissions to read file”

    dammit! thanks jean! i dont know why some have issues, and some dont. maybe it has to do with the versions? i just made another change, which will maybe, but doubtfully, fix this.

    same thing here with latest Leopard Safari :(

    I can play it in a browser window though - weird.

    just tried downloading first 5 track with Safari and got the same result, so the fix doesn’t appear to have succeeded.
    checked using Firefox and the same tracks and they all downloaded.

    same here…safari using a PC…no dice, but i can play in a browser

    the link to the “banjo version” of “Masters of War” does not work (error 404). all the others are fine.

    I also had problems with the download of one Teenage Fanclub-song, 2 Pixies-songs and 2 Cracker-songs. But in these cases the reason was a mistake in the url - sometimes there was one slash too many, a word was written two times or a letter was missing. I can’t find a mistake like this here.
