ergh – forgot to update here – when i got back from lunch the cds had ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i opened up the Hello single and tried to play it on my work computer but it had some weird copy protection thing that makes the cd rom not even recognise it as a music cd…. 🙁
when i got home i tried to play it on the home comp and that was a no go – but their stupid copy protection shit is COMPLETELY ignored by that wonder program Audiocatalyst so i was able to rip it to mp3 so i could hear the 2 songs on there. HA!

i had to get all technical and stuff because i think to stop people ripping to mp3 the b-side track The Other Side says it goes for 3:50 mins but when audiocatalyst read it it went for 6+ mins. so when i tried to rip it it would go tralalalalalaaaaaaargh and die! so i fiddled and made it only rip for the 3:50 mins. i am soooo clever! bow before my brilliance y’all!

the other cd is the nifty…the cd itself if one of those lil’ ones you can get and the case is shaped like a coffin….ah Hyde was all morbid and stuff for his first solo effort….now he’s gone all screaming rockboy on us. strange little man. ^-^
