looks like a name server resolution problem.

i can get their just fine, but some people are reporting problems. i can also reach it by raw IP....so again, I am thinking its an external DNS problem with our registrar.

please be patient. :cool:

I just added "121.1.198.139 www.spfc.org" to my /etc/hosts file and it works now ;)

Yeah, spfc.org is probably on a virtual host. Add the IP to your hosts file and it will work ;)

Off topic question, I was looking through the songlist and found some new interesting entries. Davin care to elaborate?

Magnetic Happiness (http://www.spfc.org/songs-releases/song.html?song_id=912&song_display=|||||||||1&song_type=1), Grab the Mountain (http://www.spfc.org/songs-releases/song.html?song_id=913&song_display=|||||||||1&song_type=1), and I Feel Love (http://www.spfc.org/songs-releases/song.html?song_id=581&song_type=1)

I'm very tech savvy, just lazy and don't feel like editing files for a site I can wait a day or 2 to access.

sorry guys, we're still looking into the root cause of the issue with our external dns provider.

yes, the servers are in japan. they were moved from the midwest to japan during the last days of 2006.

Perhaps a rogue Japanese fan is expressing his anger over the lack of local tour dates...

Any chance this "Japanese" fan is James and this is his retribution to Billy & the fans?

yes, for me it's also working again.

yes, we resolved our issue with our external dns provider at 3:56am CDT this morning.

Reliable sources indicate that Grab the Mountain was a demo billy recorded around the same time as Valentine, Cross, Satellites, etc.

Reliable sources indicate there used to be a song called Magnetic Happiness that got scrapped before Siamese Dream. I was told it was played live twice in 1992, and there's supposedly an acoustic demo of it as well, that was recorded in the spring/summer of 1992 at billy's home at the time.

One of my colleagues added I Feel Love, so not sure about that one.

looks like they got rid of one.

oh, and it appears they're finally listing tour dates by band (how novel): http://www.spfc.org/tours/date.html?year=2005

someone must be busy...
