GarageShock Revisited

I know I've been away from this blog for about 4 months, but I had reasons.
Reason #1: No web connection. It's funny how they shut that off when you can't pay the bill.
Reason #2: My hard drive crashed and I lost everything, including a few shows I hadn't posted yet. The stuff that was posted in the past I had saved on DVD-R so no problem there. However, the 3 of the 4 shows I had planned on posting are now lost to the data gods. I should be able to encode them again from the cassette masters, but it will take time.
So for now I went and re-uploaded all the past posts, and in some cases repacked the FLAC files so they are in one rar file.

So I haven't uploaded any more sets lately. This is due to having to search for a better hosting options for the files. Currently I have been using SendSpace to house all the files, but it is only stores the files for 14 days after the last person has downloaded it. With the site being new that means that very few visitors are actually downloading the files (about 2% of all visitors grab something). That means I will have to upload the same files every 2 weeks until the site picks up interest. I could go to a site that will house the files for longer, but all of the ones I have found require downloaders to click thru banners or limit time between each file downloaded.
If I don't find a new hosting option soon, I'll just solider on and keep posting sets. Old sets will delete from the host and I'll worry about reuploading them when someone complains.
If you have any advise please leave it in the comments, otherwise get what you can now because it might not be here tomorrow.
