i'm not a huge new order/joy division/whatever fan (last time i saw them live was like 84 or whatever that was........god i feel old) but i have always been intrigued by the driving force that was factory records.
spiralfrog.com
i checked out this website this morning. you can't actually access is unless you live in america, so you have to go through a proxy server (confusing?)....... google "free proxy server" and try one of the top 20 listings. i managed to take a lookie.
sprial frog is a website that just launched, which offers free music if you can tolerate the ads. i am personally a bit skeptical on the long term duration and effectivity of ads in itself, but hey, it is moolah. i didn't bother to download anything and it seems you can't transfer it to your ipod (yeah right, you could if you wanted to......) and you have to log in at least once a month or something, which means they force feed you ads.
what bugged me about it was the user interface and the lacking depth in catalogue. it seems like it's full of stuff on major labels, which is fine, but the only difference being, that it's free if you get mind raped by ads. then i could go to thepiratebay.org or some other torent site and download the same thing (and portable to an ipod) for free....... i don;t think it really celebrates the joy of music that much........
oh, i am a former tennis boy. used to be serious at it till about 16. my friend j in ny started playing recently and he is one of the most unlikely of people to play the sport. it's a lot harder than you think. i have seen the might mcenroe play before my very eyes at his peak a couple of times, once with jimmy conners and it was a good rock show, definitely gave me the horn. i don't like bjorn, he does not give me the horn.
