S.A is South Australia. New South Wales is next to it. Left to right in order of states: W.A (my home), N.T (Northern territory - not a State, a 'Territory'), S.A (South Australia), Qld (Queensland) ,NSW, Vic and Tas (New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania) are all atop each other, although Tasmania is an island. As is Australia, largest island in the world and smallest continent in the world.

That Trivium track is better than the 3 Metallica tracks released! It was leaked 2 days ago from my house. I recorded the track and many other tracks from the JJJ free government radio station here in Oz.

I am not joking. I only did it to record the Opeth special live in Melbourne concert from the last tour in 06 when I saw them live, you know me and my Opeth obsession!! I am seeing them and Virgin Black next week in concert!

I recorded the Opeth bit for my own listening pleasure. I recorded the whole 3 hours of FMR because I didn't want to miss the Opeth bit! I listened to the Trivium track and liked it enough to make an MP3 out of it to give to my brother who loves that band then I thought others out there might appreciate hearing it too so I put it online to create a stir with fans to get them excited for the album when it comes out - I hope they buy it! Other people put it on YT from my recording.

It is some seriously good promotion for Trivium imo, the buzz for that new album of theirs is bigger than ever after I got that track on the web. I don't think it is a problem with copyright, it was recorded from a free-to-air radio station where Trivium themselves handed Andrew Haug the CD in person when they hosted HIS radio show last week - they must have known it might have made it online afterwards. I mean, many tv show pilots and pre-air episodes are leaked online by the actual owners of the show WB/Universal etc just to create a fan base or stir of interest. That is how I see YT and the radio copy of this track and anything similar to it that gets released online. A few minutes before Haugy aired the track he said 'Get your tape recorders ready for this' or something to that effect, so - I used my PC as a tape recorder.

Besides, anyone worldwide is able to stream the show for the next week and rip the track themselves if they have the right software for capturing streaming internet music.
