playing catch up with media and stuff

[cali]

First off some music:

Artist: MIA Album: Arular Genre: Hip/Hop, with heavy electro, and international leanings Recommended Song: Hombre Download: full album

Some things you might want to know about M.I.A.: She was born in Sri Lanka and raised in London. Her dad was a Tamil Freedom fighter and her songs are heavily influenced by both her political background and ethnic identity. She's innovative and her sound is really hard to compare to anyone else's. Um. Lots of hipsters love her. But since I'd probably call myself a hipster if pressed, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Now: some other media:

[ Lance talking about a charity auction for hurrcane relief ] -- mpg, 30mb from pacific_gravity

[ The Brokeback Mountain trailer as aired on CNN ] -- wmv, 6.5mb from hackthis? I think?

Enjoy!

I'm assuming that you tried to just click on the llink and go that message, try right clicking on the link and choosing save as or save link target as. That should work. Or I could be doing that thing with assumptions and asses, so let me know if it still doesn't work.

Yeah, that didn't work. But don't worry about it.

Are you using firefox? Because a couple other people have mentioned issues with firefox in particular. You could try internet explorer if you aren't already using it.

I rezipped the album and got it to justabi, but I just noticed that I couldn't extract track 1 from your zip due to "corruption." Perhaps it's just because I have windows and you have OSX. *g* *kicks windoze in the shins* If you upload track one somewhere I can upload the whole zip from a windows platform tomorrow.

Here's the first song hopefully this one won't be corrupted?

[fashes.livejournal.com]

Yay! That totally works! I'm uploading a windows friendly zip to yousendit. I'll post it tomorrow or you can post it since I made you the recipient.
