Hang that P2P, hang it ...

Soulseek coming up with zilch search hits these days? Bastards on BitComet slashing off your downloads because they hate your nick? Well fret not ye denizens of music-piracy, Sordo is here to save the day, snog the chick and err ... blow some buildings up.

No no, Sordo isn't where Sauron's cake-baking, SUV-driving cousin lives, but is a site that lists full albums that are available for download on those upload sites (Yousendit and its kin). Yep, it had to happen some time, when people figure out that the capacity offered by these sites is probably good enough host more than a few complete albums.

Excellent full albums on offer at first glance even includes the rare likes of The Twilight Sad's brilliant LP Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters and even My Bloody Valentine's full discography (including the EPs). Not exactly for Maroon 5 fans, this one.

And while the user bandwidth is limited (roughly two full album downloads and you're maxed), just wait for 45 minutes (just about) and it resets and you can download away again.

Go here and be amazed.

The Twilight Sad - And She Would Darken the Memory (from Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters)

Our favorite Pumpkin and nope, she's not bald

The Smashing Pumpkins have unvelied their super secret lineup. Then again the news has been around for some time now but we just never gave a crap until now.

Nope, no customary Asian minority to appease the little Jap girls up East. But what we do have is a customary blonde bombshell in a short skirt to appease the computer gaming perverts. Ginger Reyes is Billy's new low end-loving muse.

I like.

Perhaps if he tried hard enough, Billy can just about write off the detestable sight of him dancing in some dingy disco in that holy wrath-inducing Zwan video.

Here's a track off the new Pumpkins record to keep the orange poison in you. Enjoy.

Heal the world

Hi.

Yes, some would say the world needs another MP3 blog as much as it needs another war. But hey, if there wasn't some war during someone's lifetime, we'd never get to play with all those toy machine guns and wear all those camouflaged army clothes. Or push those mini toy tanks. Or spray iconic graffiti murals on some random wall...

Ok, I'm crapping. Like this blog will, in between moments where GenusFrog, The Geek and myself talk about music that we sway to. It's hard to say what to expect, because we're legendary for failing to meet expectations. But we will try. And where we fail, let's still make love, not war.
