IMPORTANT NOTE For those of you selling music items on auction houses and such: Don't link to brainwashed.com for the cover art. The mega hits that e-bay and other places get gives tons of traffic to a particular image at the brainwashed server and can slow us down. Not to mention it's plain rude to link to somoene's site for a commercial venture w/o asking permission first. As the brainwashed.com staff notices these things, we will replace the image with something pornographic and then write angry parent letters with the intention of an early close to your auction. And we will have fun with it too!

BRAINHACKED?? Subject: NWW hacked? It appears as though someone might have hacked a bit on the NWW site. The Image for the "Chance Meeting..." LP is fine on the .html page, but when you click on the cover to see the larger image, it is something totally different and somewhat bizarre. I would never have noticed this, except I linked to it for an auction of this LP on ebay. Or, perhaps you guys changed it to give me a hard time - I dunno. I probably should have asked, or just scanned the image myself, but I figured it if already exists on the net, why clog it up a little more with duplicity... Of course now I'll have zero luck with my ebay auction, but hey that's my problem, I guess! Yes, I screwed with it. I thought it'd be more enjoyable than getting pissy and wanting a piece of your ridiculous profits! Subject: I want an mp3 of yall Thanks I love ya good bye huh? Subject: egyptian basses problem I cannot download & play "Egyptian Basses" using the same procedure & software I used successfully for "Bee Has the Photos". I am on a Macintosh G3/233 running MacOS 8.1. I am using Netscape 4 Communicator, & downloading the file by clicking & holding on the link, selecting "Save This Link As..." and setting the format as "Source" instead of "Text". I am using SoundApp to play the file. When I attempt to play "Egyptian Basses" the error message is "Invalid File Format". I have also tried using the MacZilla player (which supports MP3) with the same result). I have tried using a SoundAppAutotyper droplet to set the file type to MP3, I have tried downloading the file as text & then trying to play it, I have tried using a MP3 reformatting tool (MusicVac) which is supposed to fix invalid MP3 file formats. Any suggestions? Use MACAMP (for Macs) or WINAMP (for PCs) for the MP3 files since I know each of them play all the files we have up there. If you're running any other OS's then I'm sorry if nothing works, you are aware of software issues when you choose to run Linux etc... |

DISCOUNT CELEBRITY OF THE WEEK |
![]() He was a singer in one of the biggest bands of the late 80s and early 90s. He even dated Monkee Micky Dolenz' daughter, of whom he was inspired to write the classic rock ballad "Sweet Child O Mine." But where is he now? There has been talk of him revitalizing his budding film career, since his stellar performance as an uncredited "mourning friend at a funeral" in 1988's The Dead Pool. There's also been some Hollywood insider information that points to him getting the corner square on the new Hollywood Squares.
