To celebrate this blog’s 4th birthday I’m launching a new sidebarblog, so those of you reading this via the feed go to the website now.
An mp3 blog is something I’d wanted to do for a while but fear of getting my bandwidth smashed always stopped me. Now they’re pretty ubiquitous it’s less likely that one is going to be swamped by a swarm of message board monkeys and since I’m paying for all this bandwidth that never gets used up…
To keep things safe I’ll only be making them available one at a time on a weekly basis. Once the song is off the main page you won’t be able to download it. Same goes for the RSS feed – only the most recent one can be gotten – the rest will take you to the website. Unlike the Link Farm you can leave comments on the songs – struck me a good thing to do so please do. Currently it’s a pop-up but I’ll be changing this to static pages once I’ve sorted out the archives next week.
Like most things bloggy it’ll evolve and mature but for now I’ll be using to share interesting and/or slightly odd tunes I’ve come across plus some I consider important or excellent. In many ways it’ll work like a linklog in that I’ll try and post stuff that’s new to most people. I’ll try not to be too obscure or post anything too ear-bleeding but no promises.
heh
you could do them as ogg files – that’d confuse people
This is a great idea, Pete. This makes you a John Peel of the blogoshere. I’ll look forward to seeing what you offer up for us.
We are all John Peel now.
Ogg files, eh ? Heh Heh, heh.
Yesah, I’m looking forward to it, Pete. Any musical clues you’ve given to me in the past have always paid off tremendously. I followed up a real interest in King Missile, The Vandals, and The Flaming Lips as a result of a few suggestions you put out. Supoib.
Oh, and mooncat, if you’re reading this, thanks very much for lending me a listen to that Julian Cope ‘Sunspots’ via Bugpowder Radio a while back. great song.
