We can confirm that the crafty Marcus was, indeed, in the pub, with the rest of us bastards. See you on Myspace!

Oh chris you miserable boy!...JOIN US. As I said to stu on sunday I'll be closing the Passive-Aggressive site very soon due to having far too much to bloody do Rashamon/Day Job wise...Its a shame but I just don't think I can offer it as a viable mini label when the only act I have to put stuff out by is me because I wouldn't have time/effort/money to sort it out for anyone else. So until www.rashamon.co.uk sees the light of day myspace is all I've got. And none of the friends I've got there are fake. Except the one who joined when I first started to welcome me to myspace. But I haven't really got to know him. Everybody else I asked in person before they went on there. Except Psapp. But I would really, genuinely, like to be their friend. Lifes a sweet piece of shit as it is. Nice to know you arent spamming people lee, like many of the other artists on there! Mind due, your music is good, so I would have no problem with that! Most of the artists will try and add you all the time, and they are mostly crap. Only about a 10% chance of a decent band adding you lol.

To be fair I have received a couple of friend requests from bands I don't know but I've checked out their sites and found various reasons why I should except them (links to other bands I like, locality and the fact I actually like their music). Not sure what I'll do if I get one I really hate! I certainly won't 'spam' people unless I think they might like me or I like them.

Are the people who have checked my profile, and looked at what I like! Many of them dont even take the time to do that, so its just random!

They just clog the bulletin boxes up. Oddly enough, I usually only need to be told about a gig once (or, at a push, twice) for me to remember it's on! Who can they be thinking needs 3-times-a-day reminders? They're not the only band that do it though. Unfortunately, it makes a group look desperate, but there you go.

nb: I've just been adding some of the Myspace urls to the Contacting Our Friends page on the main Dizzy Tiger site. It's unfinished, but if in the meantime anyone spots a page that should be up there, then just let me know. I think a lot of us have discovered that simply searching for a band or person on Myspace isn't as simple as it should be, so having the direct urls should help.

MySpace Is The Trojan Horse Of Internet Censorship Media elite's last gasp effort to save crumbling empire
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | March 16 2006
MySpace isn't cool, it isn't hip and it isn't trendy. It represents a cyber trojan horse and the media elite's last gasp effort to reclaim control of the Internet and sink it with a stranglehold of regulation, control and censorship.
Since Rupert Murdoch's $580 Million acquisition of MySpace in July 2005, it has come from total obscurity to now being the 8th most visited website in the world, receiving half as many page hits as Google, despite the fact that on first appearance it looks like a 5-year-old's picture scrap and scribble book.
MySpace is the new mobile phone. If you don't have a MySpace account then you belong to some kind of culturally shunned underclass.
What most of the trendy wendy's remain blissfully unaware of is the fact that MySpace is Rupert Murdoch's battle axe for shaping a future Internet environment whereby electronic dissent, whether it be against corporations or government, will not tolerated and freedom of e-speech will cease to exist.
MySpace has been caught shutting down blogs critical of itself and other Murdoch owned companies. They even had the audacity to censor links to completely different websites when clicking through for MySpace. When 600 MySpace users complained, MySpace deleted the blog forum that the complaints were posted on. Taking their inspiration from Communist China, MySpace regularly uses blanket censorship to block out words like 'God'.
Earlier this week Rupert Murdoch sounded the death knell for conventional forms of media in stating that the media elite were losing their monopoly to the rapid and free spread of new communication technologies. Murdoch stressed the need to regain control of these outlets in order to prevent the establishment media empire from crumbling.
MySpace is Rupert Murdoch's trojan horse for destroying free speech on the Internet. It is a foundational keystone of the first wave of the state's backlash to the damage that a free and open Internet has done to their organs of propaganda. By firstly making it cool, trendy and culturally elite for millions to flock to establishment controlled Internet backbones like MySpace, Murdoch is preparing the groundwork for the day when it will stop being voluntary and become mandatory to use government and corporate monopoly controlled Internet hubs.
The end game is a system similar to or worse than China, whereby no websites even mildly critical of the government will be authorized.
The Pentagon admitted that they would engage in psychological warfare and cyber attacks on 'enemy' Internet websites in an attempt to shut them down. The fact that the NSA surveillance program spied on 5,000 Americans tells us that the enemy is the alternative media and that it will be targeted for elimination. Google has been ordered to turn over information about its users by a judge to the US government.
The second wave of destroying freedom of speech online will simply attempt to price people out of using the conventional Internet and force people over to Internet 2, a state regulated hub where permission will need to be obtained directly from an FCC or government bureau to set up a website.
The original Internet will then be turned into a mass surveillance database and marketing tool. The Nation magazine reported, "Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on our every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the National Security Agency. According to white papers now being circulated in the cable, telephone and telecommunications industries, those with the deepest pockets--corporations, special-interest groups and major advertisers--would get preferred treatment. Content from these providers would have first priority on our computer and television screens, while information seen as undesirable, such as peer-to-peer communications, could be relegated to a slow lane or simply shut out."
The original Internet will deliberately be subject to crash upon crash until it becomes a useless carcass of overpriced trash and its reputation will be defiled by the TV and media barons cashing in on the perfectly streamlined Internet 2, the free for all network that just requires you to thumbscan in order to log on! Those with a security grading below yellow on their national ID card will unfortunately be refused access. Websites that carry hate speech (ones that talk about government corruption) will be censored for the betterment of society.
For the aspiring dictator, the Internet is a dangerous tool that has been seized by the enemy. We have come a long way since 1969, when the ARPANET was created solely for US government use. The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate the world under a global surveillance panopticon prison.
Rupert Murdoch's MySpace and its ceaseless promotion by the establishment media as the best thing since sliced bread is part of this movement. In saying all this we do encourage everyone to set up a MySpace account, but only if you're going to use it to bash MySpace, Rupert Murdoch and copy and paste this article right at the top of the page! See how long it is before your account is terminated.

The good news is that some songs have been uploaded by Marcus at myspace.com/alfiebernardi but the bad news: i cant get them to play or even appear on the screen...can anyone have a look and see if they work? Maybe it's just a problem with my computer, as usual...the bastard is full of spyware and viruses! AARRGGGHHH

oh and ps: for those of you that have been getting the winfix virus from myspace, you're not alone. winfix is malware and seriously damages the functionality of your machine - it's not yet covered by most antiviral software either.
here's what'll happen: you'll open up a second screen on a myspace page (this usually happens to me when i'm reading blogs), and an alert box will appear. It will look exactly the same as an Internet Explorer alert box. It will say something along the lines of 'Warning: blah blah blah (can't remember the exact wording) can cause freezes, crashes and poor functionality. Would you like Windows to install WinFix to correct this problem for free? (Recommended)'
It will then present you with the usual 'yes' or 'cancel' boxes. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH ONE YOU CLICK. Either one, or in fact the 'cancel' icon at the top right, will open the download window and the WinFix malware will install itself on your machine. You do not want this to happen. So when you see the alert screen, MAKE SURE YOU BREAK YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION BEFORE YOU TRY TO CLOSE THE ALERT WINDOW. Richt click on the connection icon at the bottom right of your screen, or go to start/control panel/ view connections and close it there. Thats the only way that WinFix won't be downloaded.
Myspace is apparently aware of the WinFix problem it has at the moment and is taking steps to sort it.

The son of a bitch! Thanks Petra, but i've already got it...one of many, really. Mind you, i think i actually got rid of that one as it hasnt appeared for a while. I have installed a good antivirus and also Windows Defender (which is available to download for free from microsoft.com) and i'm pretty safe now. Thanks for the tip though x

There you go, don't live in Hastings anymore, but I'm still a fuckhead! Some things never change. NIce to hear from you by the way x

I've only put the Myspace Music URL's on the Dizzy Tiger site: isn't the point of the non-Friend pages that people get to hear the bands? On a related note, I think that virus you mention may also be on the Freeservers sites, 'cos I saw it just now when I double-checked Natalie's page to see how much I'd ripped it off. 100%! Too late to find out about not getting that bloody virus though...

I get it ocasionally when I visit Dizzy Tiger- don't think I've been infected, as I always do what Petra suggested and break the internet connection, but t'is annoying nonetheless. This is what my antivirus software provider says about getting rid of it- the manual deletion stuff's probably of most use unless you have Norton installed... securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/winfixer.html

safari's rotten. i prefer mozilla. it doesn't presume. macs are ok, as long as you don't want to do anything any differently than the ONE way they allow you to do things. a bit too 'intuitive' for my liking i'm afraid. but they do look so purdy/.

That's true for Mac's generally, but I want something that works. I don't want to have the option of fucking about in the Registry. I want something that doesn't get sick all the time and the Mac I've had for the past year has been (gripping wood and polishing lucky charms) remarkably stable.

sure - but most software these days messes about with your registry anyway, grabs hold of media formats, sets itself up to run at startup, etc. i like being able to disable all that nonsense - i like the choice. and it helps with compatibility issues, too. you don't have 15 different applications wrestling for use of the same port and slowing down your functionality if you can select ports or hierarchise access rights. you know?
