Great news. "Me So Twangy" is being re-released this December in a limited edition CD format and on many of the digital download distributors, including iTunes. There's also a Facebook page and a number of Twang Twang Shock a Boom videos on Youtube. In preparation for the re-release, I'm removing the "Me So Twangy" mp3's from the site.
2003 July 20
While I search for a better solution, I've re-uploaded the "Me
So Twangy" album.
2003 April 26
As long as I've had this small site, I've never found a perfect way to
make Twang's music readily available. Here are the pros and cons
of some of the attempts I've tried
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| mp3's on web site | +high speed downloads | -limited space means I can't have all songs available at the same
time, [I was] never very good at rotating the songs regularly -regularly exceeded my hosting plan's monthly bandwidth quota (costing me extra $$$) |
| mp3's on Audio Galaxy | +good download speeds +all songs could be available |
-required software download -Audio Galaxy now defunct |
| mp3's on Kazaa network | +good download speeds +all songs could be available |
-requires software download (software interface somewhat confusing) -computer has to be connected to Kazaa network for Twang searches to turn up any results -downloads can use up a lot of bandwidth from hosting computer |
| mp3's hosted off web server on my computer | +full catalog of Twang stuff available | -slow download speeds -only two people can download at a time -FTP server constantly crashing |
| mailing cd's full of mp3's | +full catalog of Twang songs | -no instant downloads |

Now hosting songs via FTP instead on a web server. Much easier to download
2003 March 24
I'm now hosting all the Twang and Dahveed stuff I've got off my own
computer. The download speeds won't be as fast, but a much more music
will be available. Drop me a line if you have any problems downloading
stuff.

Just took down It's a Twang Thang and Just Say Love. Currently
uploading Me So Twangy (by special
request).

Haven't rotated the songs yet this month. Sorry. Since Audiogalaxy
is now useless, I've started sharing my Twang Twang Shock-A-Boom collection
via KazaaLite. It doesn't have the offline
file-queing, or ability to create links to queries that Audiogalaxy did, but
it doesn't crash from file-size mismatch errors either. If anyone wants to recommend
a better file-sharing method, let me know.
2002 May 5
After entirely missing uploading new songs last month, I'm back (late) with
It's a Twang Thang and Just
Say Love.
2002 April 29
A little late this month 'eh?
2002 March 2
Albums rotated for the month of March. Me So Twangy
and Summer Songs now available for download. All
others still available on Audio Galaxy.
2002 February 20
There's a lot of good Twang and David Garza material available for downloading
on Audio Galaxy. If you've got the
satellite
installed, try searches for Twang
Twang Shock A Boom or David
Garza.

Bad news: I accidentally deleted my entire website with a misplaced
"rm -r *" command. Classic "Doh!" moment.
Good news: I created phpBB powered
Fan Forum. Go there now. Connect with other fans. Share
your music.
I left my main Twang Twang CD at work, so I'm uploading some live recordings from Rick's Place and Summer Songs 3 into the music section.

Me So Twangy lyrics finally added. Big thanks
to Brier R. for those.
2000 December 16
NBCi.com seems to have canceled my account. :( The albums I had there will
be unavailable until I find somewhere else to host them.
2000 December 10
Uploaded a bunch of music to server
space at NBCi.com. I'll cross my fingers that the account stays open.
2000 October 5
Summer Songs I added to the music page.
2000 September 25
I've re-uploaded the mp3s at 128kbps (used to be 256kbps), so they will take
half as long to download.
2000 May 22
I finally got around to fixing up some of these pages and setting up a forum.
1999 November 12
I reworked this page so its a little more intuitive and posted some more
lyrics.
1999 June 19
BONANZA! Thanks to the über-bandwidth of one Rob S.'s cable modem two
full albums worth of Garza are back online, you can download them below.
1999 June 12
I'm a big, fat, stupid, stinking liar. It's turning out to be a real
pain to upload these songs via modem. In the meantime you can get them from
Jason
M., who originally sent them to me.
1999 June 4
I'll try to upload a song a day, starting with the song
I just uploaded.
1999 June 2
I've just moved into the new server and will be uploading songs in the days
to come.
1999 May 22
I've signed up for an account with HostMe
which will give me 250MB(!!!) of server space. The account should be activated
some time this week. I will upload the songs as fast as I can, but it will
take a couple weeks to upload all the songs by modem
1999 May 19
I'm done with college dorm life. Huzah! Consequently, I've lost my
fast net connection and do not have the space to host more than a handful
of Davíd's songs. :( Below is a list of a few songs I have space for.
As a consolation I do have some new lyrics up.
Incidentally, if you know where I can find 100MB+ of storage space for a good price please write.
