A really stupid song title for a really stupid song idea.

Dropbox problem/Mediafire solution/How did you find me?/new stuff...

I just got notification that my Dropbox public folder has been "temporarily suspended on account of generating excessive traffic". In the meantime, I've uploaded everything into this nice Mediafire folder: HERE

This is a bit weird to me, as my last post was almost 11 months ago. Fear not, I've not given up the trade, just a bit short on usable audio production software. Long story short: don't pirate software, kids, it only leads to tears. I'm looking at schools right now, once I'm enrolled I can get a real copy of Ableton Live at a nice discount. Then, I can take all the ideas I've got on playlists, notebooks and scraps of cardboard (seriously) and turn them into reality.

But back to my original point. Who are you people, and why are you overloading my free bandwidth, and why now? I mean, I guess this probably has something to do with it. Apparently people who use tumblr like mashups featuring Kanye West and Brand New. Speaking of that mashup, that's first on my list of things to redo once I get the proper software. It's going to be better, trust me. And speaking of tumblr, when you hit reblog, would you mind crediting me somehow? Just mention my name, or link back to this site somehow. I'd really appreciate it.

Well, enough about me. I would like to hear from you people. What's up? How was your day?

3 New ones (not here)

Well, I had 3 new songs posted here, but the post was taken down by Blo gger thanks to everyone's best friend the R-I-A-A, so I made a page with Google Pages to host them: http://sites.google.com/site/hawkinsmashups/. What they took offense to I have no idea, all the content was significantly altered, and with the thousands of pirate blogs set up that legitimately steal sales from the music industry using the same service I use, I don't know why they chose me. Oh well.
