This is occurring because your sending the wrong MIME type (text/ plain) for the mp4 file, and Safari is trusting the MIME type over the extension. (If you disagree with this behaviour, go to bugreport.apple.com.) The easy workaround is to press option-return instead of return, which will force Safari to download the file.

I mouth the words "What to do, what to do" but not sure she got it, I say them out loud. Happy did get them though, and starts singing again, then mouths "thank you" to me. Happy might cringe at forgetting the lyrics to her own song, but it was a highlight for me you betcha. I cherish it, so forgive me for wanting to share that particular fandom highlight moment with everyone. I'm such a nerd. Also is "Lily of the Valley/Possessed" from May 10th, 1996 2nd show, where she starts the song in the wrong key. It's very very endearing, and also jaw-dropping, because her voice goes so high! Even with that mistake, she goes on to give an amazing version of both songs. Also is an interview with Helen Leight (Leicht?? I've seen it spelled both ways) and a solo performance of "Feed The Fire" So, if you put this in a brower suspended-in-gaffa.com/happy/video who know what kind of wonderments will await you! Everything Happy except the Echoes is in wmv format, sorry. Something happened with Chris's encoder or whatever, and that's all he could save as. MMOH's Bodies In Trouble is in both wmv and mp4 formats. Perhaps a techie could give more info on how to download and save the files. I appreciate the technical help given so far. That reminds me, how do you "expand" the names when you're looking at folders in a browser window?

It's the other one, a purple one, that made her look way older than she was, and very very conservative. Look at the pictures here: http://rhodeshows.com/live/gallery/HappyRhodesLivePics_Martyrs_11-12-03_Vickie/index.html and compare the dress she wore onstage with the cool outfit (red top) she changed into after the show. That's how she should have dressed for the show. In my opinion, of course. Not that I know anything about fashion, I just think she looks great in those kinds of tops. She certainly looked more comfortable. My favorite concert outfit of all can be seen in the "Lily of the Valley/Possessed" and "Hold Me" videos. Black long-sleeved top, and a long, pretty, shimmery skirt. 'Twas gorgeous. Vickie - -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Music, all I hear is music, guaranteed to please...

Now see she looks MUCH better and yes, more comfortable in that red top. Much much better. What she wore on those videos you mentioned was good too. And the "Hold Me" video start was hilarious. "Okay honey you feed the fire". Classic.

Having only seen Happy live once, at the first Ectofest, these are such wonderful opportunities to relive the experience of seeing such a talented musician doing what she loves to do. And as much as I love her exquisite covers (That "Space Oddity" is just gorgeous) I really appreciate the clips of her doing her own work, which is why I love her so much. "Hold Me" in particular is a special treat as I love the song so much. While we're talking about Happy (yay!) I've kind of lost track of her. What are her future plans? Is there a new album in the works? And then, perhaps, more live shows? It's been far too long. Michael Michael R. Colford Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film, President P.O.

You can't change this in the browser, but you can change the server to display longer names. Create a textfile called .htaccess in that same directory (or open it if it already exists), and place the following line in it: IndexOptions NameWidth=64 That should make the server show a maximum of 64 characters per filename.

Also have an advance of the new Charlotte Martin, and she's definitely becoming more herself. I do really recommend this one. Her vocals are still somewhat Tori-esque, but the songs and music feel more themselves. There's a lot of electronic influences in it and this is all a good thing. The songwriting is powerful stuff. I would say this is Charlotte Martin's _The Dreaming_ or her _Boys for Pele_.

Yes indeed. It's been great reliving the shows I was at and seeing clips from shows I missed. It's also been wonderful having Happy at the forefront of ecto again, and an excuse to listen to her music again. I get so wrapped up with new music that I usually neglect old favorites. I've also been happy to have the Cocteau's BBC sessions and Kate's Sensual World in my car lately. Oh, and thanks for posting the Kate interview link Geoff!
