Data Thieves Censored Again
The video "Data Thieves - Opium For Havana" was removed for "violating our guidelines"
The image in question was a blurry still of a hand holding a lump of an unidentifiable substance, which may or may not be opium,
I'm pissed because the video had over a thousand views and some likes.
I hate this new world of censorship of artists.

There’s some cool gear in the background of your picture. What is it?

Yes, it's an old pic of my old setup lol,
The gear is a DX7 Mk1 synth, Korg M1 synth, Roland TR505 drum machine, and a Fostex X26 4 track, which I used to use as a mixer.
The Korg said "Low Battery", which I replaced but after replacing it it was still the same, so I was using it as a midi controller, but have now sold it for spares or repairs.
The DX7 now says "Change Battery" so I have to open it up and the battery is soldered in, so I don't even have a soldering iron... It still works as a midi controller though. and I have a new synth, a Yamaha MX61 but yet to fire it up as I need some more space for it in the little music room in my little house. :)
