i just want to take this moment to say hooray for bleep.com.
i used to download all sorts of stuff, but i got sick of the crap
quality and queues and all that. now i just use bleep. they have nearly
everything i'm looking for, be it idm, weird ass stuff, indie,
downtempo, etc, and they've turned me on to all sorts of music i might
never have heard of.
i'm sick of the space all the vinyl and cds take up. once the conversion
to digital format is complete, i will sell it all off to make room for
more books (and when they come up with a suitable digital format for
books, bye bye hard copies!). sound quality schmound quality, 10 years
of djing has made me deaf enough not to notice. drive failure? dvd
backups. cover art and liner notes? bah, most of it sucks these days.
bleep has become my onestop shop. anyone have any other music sites
they'd care to recommend? itunes and their drm can suck it. i don't
share files, but i don't want to have to 'authorize' every damn device i
play my tracks on (i use a lot of different devices).
wow this kinda turned into a rant, didn't it? crazy.
music: i like wisp's 'nthndr'. nothing groundbreaking, but nice tunes.
'congratulations' is often repeated. i also want more from s.t.
'emotions in a box' ep is grand, and i like the 'i'll meet you there'
ep...how about a full album?
k, i'm done.
