CATASTROPHIC HDD FAILURE

Well, in a severe case of deja vu, I must report that my laptop hard disk is currently suffering a catastrophic failure.

Bad news
-It was only 3 months old
-The drive is failing so bad it failed to image, meaning I will need to re-install everything when I get it replaced =S
-I was actually in the midst of making new music - a collaboration with a very good friend. And we were making some fine progress

Good news
-It's still under warranty, so I'm sending it back to get the drive replaced tomorrow
-Even though the imaging failed, I managed to back everything up. Phew
-I've got this spare Ubuntu laptop, which is chugging along nicely

Fucking nightmare, though. I've got some software running under Wine on this laptop, so I may be able to make some daft noises, at least, while I get all this shit sorted out

Carry on!

Cakebuilder - Book of the Dead

I could not find a decent copy of this on Youtube, so chucked it up myself:



The best breakcore tune that samples Evil Dead? I think so...
