You say 'new year, what new music have ya got?'. Abney Park, that's what, good for the goth, the punk, the average man on the street. Here's a live, in studio tune called 'Stigmata Martyr'. Yep, sounds like Dead Can Dance from the 80s. Hats off to my old pal Gorthos for the suggestion. More on steam punk tomorrow. It sounds strange but is very appealing, not scary at all!
So, in dreams last night, continuing a new theme of unexpected VARIETY I traveled to Miami. Yes, I was there one winter years ago, but so far this January is quite warm and sunny, and a person feels like they don't need Miami.

Cool. Thanks, Gary. I'm going to have to track down some MP3s. We can still do that up here. :-D
That stuff sounds GOOD. You people can doall kinds of things up in Canada, can't you?
It does. I sounds VERY good.
We've been paying a small levy on recordable media for years to compensate the recoridng industry for losses due to piracy. Under the current copyright legislation, downloading digital media (whether music or video) is a legally protected activity.
Distribution of said content is illegal. At least it was until a Federal Court case last year that decided that simply placing a copyrighted file into a shared directory does not qualify as distribution.
It's all up in the air at the moment and there's monstrous pressure on teh Feds to re-write the law to benefit the US-owned media conglomerates and make us all criminals.
There's been an interesting split from the Canadian version of the MPAA, though. The independent, Canadian-owned labels have dropped away leaving CAREA to represent the US-based companies and lobby the Feds to allow them to start suing downloaders. How perverse is that?
It would be smart if big companies just found a way to make money online rather than fighting the web. One remembers the days of our youth, when we had a turntable with attached cassette recorder....sharing music is NOT new.
Do you remember the Betamax lawsuit, Gary? The media companies fought home video recording tooth and nail. It's all they know how to do. They have a terrible history of embracing new technology and paradigms only when forced to.
Gordo, you just hope they find a way to work with you tube and don't mess with it too much.
Apparently my friend making a copy of her new RHCP cd for me is illegal even here in Canada. My borrowing it and making a copy for myself, however, is not. Making things even more interesting, the cd itself was drm'd. So I did it the old school way, on cassette (my car has only a cassette player).
you know, cm, cassettes are very hard to find these days.
