It's Ladies' Night on Bodega Pop Live!

Bodega Pop Live returns to WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio tonight from 7-10 PM ET with a special broadcast: LADIES' NIGHT. Half off all double-priced drinks for all XX-chromosomed/identified individuals!

State courts in California, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have ruled that ladies' nights constitute unlawful gender discrimination. But, hey--we're in New York!

Files Are Back Up!

GOOD NEWS: My ADrive files are all restored. All is well. Now ... I just have to start posting more frequently.

Has this blog been assassinated?

I don't mean to be alarmist, but I just received the following from Paypal:

We have recently reviewed your PayPal account activity and determined that
you are in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy by accepting
donations for music downloads.
As a result, your account has been limited temporarily.
To help us resolve this, you will need to:
- Remove PayPal as a payment option, as well as all references to PayPal,
including the PayPal logo and/or shopping cart.
- Submit the online Acceptable Use Policy affidavit.

The irony of this being that PayPal is an acceptable method of payment for hosting files on ADrive.com, which is where I store all of the Bodega's products.

Speaking of which, my ADrive account is currently "in maintenance mode," and if you've tried grabbing anything, your efforts have been thwarted. I can't log in, myself. I don't know for certain just yet, but there's a good chance that account is being revoked--or, perhaps I'm just being paranoid, having had my Divshare account revoked early last year.

I'll let you know, of course, what happens, once I know for sure what *has* happened.
