so, i usually pay "money" for cds and music, like a "fucking idiot". that being said, i still use soulseek here and there to check new things out or to grab the one decent song a band managed to cobble together.
soulseek is a pretty substandard tool though, so i'm looking for a new / more efficient way to grab a couple albums.
comments or emails will be much appreciated.
in the event that you're wondering what fuckall horrible nonsense i'm after at the moment, the short list is as follows:
corrosion of conformity - deliverance
straight faced - guilty, broken
i against i - headcleaner
zero down - with a lifetime to pay
i'd feel bad about ripping off punk rock bands, but the only one of those that's still even around in any fashion is c.o.c.
and, as an aside to tarcos, i did find a band i listen to that was formed in the last decade. 'lights out god help me'. so, you know, there's one.
for what it's worth, i still use soulseek all the time. i personally don't know of a source that's as comprehensive *and* under-the-radar as soulseek. sure, sometimes their server goes down, or the program confuses its ports or something so nothing downloads, and they're always claiming ridiculous financial strife, but hey, it's "free" music.
ReplyDeletealso, i'm not really sure on your music tastes, but i love WFMU, which is a station out of new york city that plays pretty much anything ever. they have shows specifically designed by the assigned DJ and they archive and stream them all.
i *assume* you'll like at least these two DJs, although there's a slight camp factor involved:
http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/DK
http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/TM (more rockish and, since they can play whatever, it can meander)
there's a ton of other programming, and i'll usually find a band or two worth checking out every time i listen.
