why dave bergman is neat

dunno for sure. i've got iTunes but try looking at napster and musicmatch?

when you get one, check out Sun Kil Moon - Mark Kozelek. his new one, "Tiny Cities" is all Modest Mouse covers. Interesting and low key acoustic.
 

cool--thanks. will check it out. thanks for the kozelek tip--i haven't heard any of his new stuff, but i'd definitely like to hear him cover modest mouse if it's as good as his covers of AC/DC.

by the way, is this 'mc' as in mark? if so, what up! (if not, 'what up!' too, i just don't think i know who you are).
 

You left it open for me, Eric. Hehehe....I could have been "michail caine" or something evil. Yeah, it's Mark.

you have an mp3 player or are you burning the music you download? I may be able to find some junk out for you.

cheers man.
 

good to hear from you! i don't have an mp3 player--was just going to put it on my computer, which sounded to me like a viable option.

let me know your secrets...
 

yeah man - doing it from the computer is good. YOU WON'T! then you can burn cd's or play it straight up off the hard drive. YOU WON'T! i'd get some cheap computer speakers, though, if you don't have 'em. (wink, making the horse clicking noise with mouth, pointing my finger gun and firing...)

Napster's system has you pay a monthly fee of about ten bucks or something - you can then stream music for free, i think, but not download it. download are probably about a buck a song. pretty standard.

there are also quite a lot of sites that have random weird stuff that you can download for free. just search for free legal downloads or something. all the indie kids have their music up somewhere. dunno about finding 'established' music for free anywhere though. Grokster, a peer to peer music sharing site was just shut down by order of the supreme court of the land - so no dice there, ante up to those record company sluts. (sorry if slut offends anyone)

if you feel like a hipster - buy yerself an ipod nano or smaller ipod - might be pricey overseas. hell, they're an arm and a leg here. you get the itunes software with it, and don't have to pay a monthly fee to download songs at 99 cents each. i succumbed to ipod envy a couple months ago. 20 gigs of pure popmagic. love it.

well that's a long post without saying much at all. I'll leave you with a joke you can amaze and confuse your italian friends with...

What does SnoopDogg was his tighty white underoos with?

BLEATCH!


haha - i love that one. next post, a joke about the three mandarin oranges that could.....
 

Here's a great tactic/scam: Rhapsody is another music download/streaming site. They offer a two week free trial but they don't ask for a credit card or any id, just an email address. So basically, when the 2 weeks is up, you can sign up for another free trial with a different email address.
 

The latest version of Winamp includes AOL Radio with XM (as in XM Satellite) for free. The parent company is now owned by AOL, and I reckon they're trying to compete with iTunes. If you search their AOL/XM feeds for indie, for example, you get tons of professional stations covering different periods and stuff (90's, new stuff. early stuff that influenced indie rockers).

But there are tons more stations. I bet you could even find all Dylan or all Stones stations.

They also still have Shoutcast streams (amateur and college radio stations).

There's even video, too. You can't download the stuff ... it's all internet radio, but it's worth doing.

And Winamp has always been my favorite mp3 player (now with an easy podcast interface that beats iTunes, in my opinion).
