YESSSSSSS!!! Free!!! I guess all those recorders and uploaders have just been rendered redundant,lol.

 

EDIT: Actually, like I said in another thread, we should still record in case they have the band on air or make some more cool announcements. You never know, the way they've gone about the news. There may yet be more surprises.:)

The sad thing is I downloaded the single off of Rapidshare and it put viruses on my computer. Then today I find out that they're giving away the song for free. I guess that's what I get for downloading. :smash:

Is your computer's immune system working well? Occasional viruses should help boost the immune system - got good anti-viral ware??;)

Well it WAS working well.

 

I've actually got two free, very effective anti-virus programs on my computer. One is called SuperAntiSpyware. It always finds 8 Trojans when I scan, most of them called "Vundo" and when it gets rid of them I have to reboot. They always come back as something else! Then I tried AVG and it didn't even find them but I know they're still there because I keep getting random porno pop-ups. :veryangry2:

 

It's frustrating, but at least I finally have a legit copy of the song. Now the question is where do I go from here.
