MUSIC

So, here's something useful, and not class related stuff. I was planning on doing this at some point, and just now remembered. So music piracy one o' one. You could use limewire like all the other kids, or soul seek if you're a little more civilized. But sometimes you just can't find that post-dub band from texas you heard at the party last weekend, or maybe you dont know what to search for tonight.

So first off, download this. http://www.rarlab.com/

Then whenever you see a like the following: Because Of Ghosts http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MW4P2KGZ, go there and download the compressed album. You get all the tracks and usually artwork in probably less than ten minutes, sometimes like two, its great. There are other sites that do the same thing, megaupload is just one of the bigger ones.

Then use the aforementioned program to decompress the file, and save it into your regular old music folder.

So here's a quick shot of post rock to get things going. Post rock if you don't know is a genre of music that evolves out of the same old shit you hear on the radio, and incorporates pretty much every instrument you would want, and various electronic bits. It's an incredibly vague term for the music, but mostly, think intense instrumental music that focuses on emotion, texture and structure rather than verse, chorus,verse chorus, shitty vocals, etc...

So here ya go.
