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.

Sad news...what to say...but till Byther Smith they are looking ok
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!

Hi bro! The links are working!
Yesterday's Byther Smith works still fine
BTW That Narg I downloaded had 4 exactly the same tracks (that is track 4)
Randomly also downloaded Teddy Chisi, also works,
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!
...a BIG HUG for ALL YOU DID... and, i hope, for ALL YOU'LL DO!!!
That might be Pixeldrain at work. here's a new link https://mega.nz/file/g3ICxajK#Uyh1hdVs7KlhXpGzvhNJyFLXJY01sSxI-YFH87Zuadk
This Mega link works, and has all the right tracks. Many thanks
@lapiedra52 here is a little info for you on pixeldrain open the link and then replace the com with net and refresh and should work fine for.

@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.
MEGA works great! Many thanks!!!
sounds like you,ve had enough and i understand being an ex blogger with over 10000 posts. thanks for all you have done, now put your feet up and enjoy the music from wherever! you served your sentence with distinction sir.
Still working here, thank goodness! And eternal thanks for all you do.
Sorry for that, Xyros. But I'm from Spain and, like lapiedra52, pixeldrain doesn't work last months for me. We'll miss you :-(
Read my answer to lapiedra52 above, it works trust me

Bad luck my friend. Thanks for all the music and I hope that you find a way to continue. All the best.
Thank you so much for your abundant generosity and exceedingly excellent taste.
@reb
Thanks for the info, but I already know that. It was the same people of "pixel" who inform me when I ask them about that issue time ago. They were unable to solve in any other way.
Sorry for this terrible news.
Thank you so much for your wonderful blog!
I hope you will continue, and Mega is a good host.
Wishing you all the best.
Robert
simply put: Thank You for sharing.
I have been loving your blog for years. You, and some readers, have been able to fill a lot of my requests for albums that were never officially released digitally. Best of luck and hope you stay open!
You will be missed. I hope you continue. Don't let the B's get you down. Keep on Keeping on.
La Musica E Vita
still kicking my friend !!
thnks for everything you do
So sorry you are having to deal with this, Xyros. Sincerely appreciate all the time and work you have devoted to this space.
you seem confused dude, are you closing or what man ?
Of course I do hope you do start back up again, but please know that your blog and space has been among the most welcome and finest of all the music blogs on the web. Thank you for your incredible generosity and class.
Hi, Xyros, I m so sorry to hear about the problems with the files, I really hope you have not decided to stop posting, your Blog was the first Blues Blog I found, and because of this I was able to get so much great blues music, and great out of print blues music that I would not have gotten. Your Blog introduced me to countless great artists I had never herd of, and would not have if not for your Blog, thank you for that. When I first started to make requests, I was amazed that every time within a day or two you would post the request , some albums I thought I would never see, but you would post them, thank you so much.
I really hope you continue to post, but if you do not, I have to thank you for the years or great blues music, and other music. So ''Thank you so very much'', and for filling all my requests, I only discovered your Blog around 2018, maybe late 2018.
Thank you again for the years or great music, I hope you stick around, but if not , " Good luck with your next adventure ", and stay well.
From, Silvertone
Sad to see that you are considering your blogger future. Many thanks for the stuff that you have posted. I really hope that we will see you in the future
