[bono_man2002]

as i was saying.....apple still think my address is in the USA .....i'm so tempeted to land myself with a massive fine.

 

[neutral]

oh, and whats the link to gormans stream?

http://66.54.81.31:8000

 

[brownda7]

Aussies Unite! Since it is impossible for us to legally purchase these tracks we should create a fan-tree to email the unreleased tracks to each other!

I'm sure somebody downunder will have them by now since gorman has been streaming for over 12 hours.

anybody...............

 

[Shaizari]

we can only hope for these alternate version in single releases in the future.

would be nice to have

1: Vertigo
2: Native Son outtake
3: Full Metal Jacket outtake
4: Are you gonna wait forever

all on one single

tons better than jacknife lee or neon lights

 

[bono_man2002]

cheers neutral

I'll record of his stream, and do yousendits...

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Go Bono Man!! WOOOOO!!

 

[AussieU2fanman]

bonoman2002 could you make sure the files aren't too big like 10+mb? It'd be easier for all (especially me) if the file size is kept to a minimum. Bear in mind the stream is 96kbps therefore having an mp3 at a bitrate of 192kbps is useless. Thanks man.

 

[bono_man2002]

Yahweh and sometimes will be up soon.

 

[bono_man2002]

Aussie...they are all going to be 128.

 

[Shaizari]

are these the full length ones or samples???

 

[brownda7]

bonoman to the rescue!

 

[Palace_Hero]

How do you connect to the stream?

 

[brownda7]

Itunes works for me Palace

 

[bono_man2002]

are these the full length ones or samples???

The Full Thing!!

 

[Palace_Hero]

Cheers bruv.

 

[bono_man2002]

ah crap, my recording program just shat istelf....will have to wait longer for levitate and Love You Like Mad.

 

[lo-fidelity]

why can't i get the stream to play through itunes....what am I doing wrong???

 

[brownda7]

IF theres more than 34 people you can't connect

 

[lo-fidelity]

that isn't the problem.....it just won't play. I hit the link and it goes to a page with info about the stream...I click to listen and it goes to itunes and doesn't connect....

 

[brownda7]

Aaah..You have to paste the link into itunes in the open stream dialogue

 

[petrolheart]

Try setting your browser preferences to use iTunes as first choice for streams. That's what I had to do...

 

[bono_man2002]

Apple put this on themselves....put out an Aussie iTunes store, and none of this is needed.....

Yahweh:

[link removed]

dont all jump on it at once now

 

[bredlo]

Thanks Bono Man. Awesome tune. If you feel like sharing the others, I'd love it. I don't particularly *deserve* it, but I'd love it.

 

[lo-fidelity]

i'm doing that...still won't play and there are only 26 users online right now. I'm going to advanced, opening the "open stream" and them pasting the url in the box...and nothing happens...

 

[bono_man2002]

Thanks Bono Man. Awesome tune. If you feel like sharing the others, I'd love it. I don't particularly *deserve* it, but I'd love it.

I plan on staying here for a few hours...dont worry! ..
i'm only on ISDN...so its gonna take a while to get everything up and going....
if others post re-links that would be awsome!

 

[Homerpalooza]

Um, I'm all for the unreleased tracks to sneak out there, but you really should be asking Gorman before doing this. He created the stream with the explicit intent that the songs not be recorded and distributed; it's meant to be a non-tangible way for non-iTunes users or non-billionaires to hear the tracks before they eventually end up as full quality MP3s on the net -- as per my understanding.

 

[brownda7]

Hoperpalooza how can we get them if itunes won't bloody open a store here!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

(and don't tell me to move out of the sticks!)

 

[Shaizari]

I plan to stick a few on a yahoo server when I get my hands on it.

Bono man deserves my grovelling while I eat his dust and dirt.
