Shit happens.

 

The life of a music blog hangs on a silk thread and it snapped today.  Pixeldrain has banned me for posting "Narg - African Disco Funk". It sucks but it is what it is.

Looking back "Don't Ask Me ... I Don't Know" has been around for about 20 years. I have enjoyed posting my own collection of vinyl/cd's and also the contributions KansasJoe and others. To them, I'd like say thank you for your support and help. To everyone who has visited, downloaded and enjoyed the music also thank you for your comments and encouragement.

I have removed "Narg" but it is possible that my other files are still available. Could someone drop a comment letting me know?


Thank you all for your comments. It seems like all the links are still working which is a relieve, so I may migrate to Mega if I decide to continue in the future.

Hi Xyros,
I sympathize because as a blogger, I know what it's like to be harassed, to lose access, to lose links! I hope that all of this will soon be a bad memory and that users will once again be able to enjoy this wonderful blog! Hang in there!

I've tried the Byther Smith link and it works. I know it's not worth it, but I can tell you that in Spain, pixeldrain.com doesn't work on any of the internet browsers I use (Firefox, Opera).
Thanks a lot for your great job during this two decades.
Take care!

@Xyros I tried some and they are still active, switching to mega makes sense. Question do you still have access to your pixeldrain account? if so I would try uploading it again but change the title on the zip, worth a try.

Chris-France said it best. I've enjoyed your blog over the years and have been introduced to some hard-to-find albums. I do hope you came back after a much-needed break. But if you don't, thank you for all the great music.

Hola! Lo ideal es cambiar el nombre del archivo rar para evitar cualquier problema.

Sorry for that, Xyros. But I'm from Spain and, like lapiedra52, pixeldrain doesn't work last months for me. We'll miss you :-(

Bad news. Thanks for all the fish! Is there a way for us to know where to find you if you decide to continue?
