Alright, fine... you've convinced me... I'll play along with your little scam.

CLICK ON THE ADS!!!

The only way we will see a dime is if the links at the top of the page get clicks. So far we have made $0. Last week there were 75 page views and 2 ad clicks.

Belle and Sebastian

The new album the life pursuit is freakin great, probably their best album yet. Check it out.

New Club Distribution?

A friend turned me on to a site called www.yousendit.com. Essentially you can upload up to 1 gig for 7 days and have up to 25 downloads. A link may be posted on our site.

Possibly, whoever's month it si could upload there selection and post it for everyone to download, possibly saving time, money, and effort.

I have no idea how well or fast the service is or if it will adequatley serve our purposes.

I tried a test of uploading Eminem (sorry, it's the only thing I had here at work for the moment).
It took probably 8 to 10 minutes to upload. I imagine that 1 gig will take some time. One other thing. You can only upload one file, so any group of files will have to be compressed using Winrar or Winzip.

Try to down load the following link so we can get an idea if this actully works:

https://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1GB392R3YD7IA1GDE4O1XH5N1Z

Another alternative is trying to get our own ftp site where we could do essntially the same thing.

Azureus

Step by step instructions to tons of free music!!

1. Search for Azureus on Version Tracker
2. Download and install Azureus
3. Search for music at isoHunt
4. Download torrent file from isoHunt
5. Open torrent file in Azureus
6. Wait for download to complete
7. Add to iTunes and rock out

This is a great way to get full albums instead of just a track here or there. You can also use many other torrent search engines, but isohunt seems to be the best. The same is true of Azureus, you can use other BitTorrent clients, but Azureus seems to be the best.

Gorillaz at Grammys

Watch for the part when Madonna walks in front of and then behind Murdoc. How the hell did they do that???

ads

I submitted our page to Google AdSense today. It apparantly takes a week before they approve the account and start placing ads. I don't know if we will make any money but I figured it's worth a shot. I will keep you all posted on what's happening with the Ads and how much money we are making (if any). I say if we make some money then we use it to buy a domain name and to keep the site growing. Or we could do something else. If you have any suggestions let me know.

Coldplay

Anyone slated to attend a show in Coldplay's current tour shall be appropriately rewarded. I saw the show last night, and thought it was excellent. I am a big fan, however, it was my first. The setlist was great... not too much or little of any one album... a good mix of moods... and TWO covers. One appears on an album, and the second worked very nicely when it followed the first (hint, hint). Also, I believe I heard a previously unreleased song, which really sounded good. Anyway, if you're not going, I'd suggest picking up tix.

Oh, and Fiona Apple sucks...

Lastly, still no discs in my mailbox. I understand that the Post Office might be in disarray after the little episode the other day, but that's no excuse.
