NO, There Is NOT Malware Here! I Swear It!
So those of you with Google Chrome may have noticed that our “Listen and Download” page shows an error saying “warning, there’s a bunch of fucked up malware on here and if you click this link your computer will be overrun by terrorists who will straight go 9/11 on your Hard Drive!” or something to that effect.
Not that you have any reason to trust me, but this is an INVALID WARNING!
This error is being reported for http://ncfc.metafex.net, which hosts our album art images and the download ZIP files for our pre-iTunes albums.
NONE OF THESE ARE VIRUSES, DOWNLOADING THEM WON’T GIVE YOU A VIRUS!
I manually worked out ALL of the HTML code for that page, and I promise nothing odd is going to be downloaded to your machine if you visit the listen and download page.
Here’s the thing; our hosting is a subdomain ON Metafex, run and paid for by a very cool dude named Brandon (known to me most of the time as “Trifecta”) who likes our music. Our subdomain IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the malicious activity!
It appears that the same warning occurs when you visit Brendon’s main page at http://www.metafex.net, which has nothing to do with us. This means the main “Metafex” domain has been hacked and may be distributing malware; Brandon has been emailed because to be frank, I don’t think he knows about it. But whatever is or isn’t happening, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. Sorry. *He* is the webmaster and *he* must petition Google to review the site and determine why it’s being set off; until then, I am too poor to afford my own unlimited hosting (we move GBs of data daily with our content) and Tumblr’s image hosting is probably not going to be a viable alternative (though if I create a secret subdomain and load it with “image” posts, this MIGHT be an option. I’ll look into it).
So, no, we won’t give you malware. Honest. This is something that our benefactor of hosting is dealing with for his own content and, as a subsidiary content repository, we get lumped in with him. But our page doesn’t access his main code or content and loads nothing but 5 or 6 jpgs and a few .zip files which only contain MP3s, text documents, and images. Nothing executable OR scripted is hosted on our subdomain, let alone linked to.
It appears he’s been hijacked by an intermediary network, and he’ll have to deal with it.
Meantime, if you’re paranoid, you can use good-ol-fashioned Google to find our music on Youtube, iTunes, or AmazonMP3. You just can’t find our consolidated page.
Sorry gang.
Like Shit Boy Is Here!
FINALLY got this up; it’s been in stores since Halloween! Head on over to our Listen and Download section (http://bitly.com/lbtDvL) to check out the track on YouTube and to buy it from AmazonMP3 or iTunes.
This is our last single before the album itself drops, and it’s pretty sick, and totally hilarious, so check that shit out!
Zazzle (again)
Hi Zazzle. JP the Robot here. Go ahead and process order number 131-59394678-7680431, the “Gearswash Large” logo iPhone 3GS for Casey. I promise, he has my permission to use the artwork. In fact, he’s ordering the case for me.
NCFans, kindly ignore this message. Technical stuffs.
Like Shit Boy
The final single in our line of pre-album singles is about to drop; it will be available on Halloween day. The song is called “Like Shit Boy” and all I can tell you is it’s sort of the spiritual successor to “Slap Yo Shoes!” but far, FAR sicker… And it sort of sounds like a mixture between “Lookin’ Boy”, “House Music” by Benny Benassi, and Nightclub Fight Club.
It’s a bit different from some of our other stuff, and if anything it’s closer to Just So Fresh than it is to So Fucked Up or the VIP tracklist, but I promise it’s ill like shit boy, not to mention it’s funny like shit boy, and on top of that the hook is seriously catchy like shit boy.
Anyway, keep an eye peeled, as I’ll let you all know when it officially drops, but those looking to get a jump on things would do well to mark their calendars for Halloween (if it’s already marked “Halloween”, just go ahead and change that shit. This is far more important than some stupid holiday).
And if you grab it early in the morning, you can throw that shit into your Halloween Party tracklist, which I know you want to do.

Mike (Check)
So Mike’s been doing some MC work for our live DJ, Thirteen Ruble, and his Dubstep/DnB DJ group, Futurewalk Entertainment (look em up!)
For the bit, he sort of made up a new nickname for himself on the spot: “MC Mike Check”. But he and I liked it so much we decided he should keep it. The way he figured it, “Nightclub Mike” was just a title, and he never really referred to himself by it. But Mike Check is clever and catchy.
So yeah. “JP and Mike” of Dopeshit have become “JP the Robot and Mike Check” for Square One. Just lettin you know, though I’m not sure why.
OH! And since Mike’s middle name is Edward, which he HATES, he’s decided to make it into something he can enjoy, and invented the personality “Crazy Eddie”. So if he goes all Nicki-Minaj-schizophrenic on this next disc, there’s that.
