ohhh legal p2p.... (muses of an old person)
Everything seems to happen while I'm away, they have a way of jumping out at me when I'm not paying attention... The arrival of Qtrax.com(worthy of a visit and your support of using there free software if you can spare the time) Was big news on the music front. p2p software that is legal and free!.. Download any music you want and it is fully funded by adverts. I'm so there!The website is slow at the moment, but don't let that discourage you. We need to help inovative things like this get off the ground and destroy both piracy and fat cats that do nothing but collect your money for selling you a cd that cost them 2p to produce for £20, all in one stone.The software is avalible from midnight(ish) tonight or from march if you have a mac (some wait).I realised today what an old fart I had become with the music world. outside my bedroom door (it leads onto the street - I live in an odd house) was a car parked that had its hood up and was obviously been fitted with a quite fabulous array of speakers, no stranger myself to such arrays (I have a small speaker obsession, and fuled by my electronics intrests it has lead many ways) so was quite admiring of the setup. I consider myself a man of all generas, quite happy to listen to hip hop, cheese, classical, rock, regge, jazz.. you name it I can apreciate it.. but this strange shouting with no lyrical or musical content that began to polute the streets and vibrate my window was beyond me, an entirely new generation of music has arrived and it is called TOO F'ING NOISE!. And suddenly I was 12 and rememberd my father saying exactly the same thing to me about what I liked..The music I liked then, I'm begininning to suspect, is not a going concern. It is a one-off time, a 20-year movement that is not just ending now but has already gone. a development of movement that we will never see again. Like baroque, rock and skiffle.Every attempt to inovate by modifying what I loved before mearly grates my ears, perfection has been reached.. I have become an old fart, all this new stuff will never live up to what I love the most. Not saying old music has no place in the modern world, it always will. But new music of the naughties can be great, however I reserve the right to not like it as much.Therefore here is a mediocre track from an artist that more often than not makes me want to commit suicide(Miss Kitten). With tracks like "Frank Sinatra" and "1982", she has very little merrit fr me. However contrary to everything above, as has been said about her before.. My brain tells me I shouldn't like it.. but I do, maybe there is hope for me yet in this crazy time.p.s. personal news, parents didn't comment on the beard, got the money, going out tonight.
