napster is up and down
napster is up and down upanddownupanddownupanddownupanddown... today. but it is not gone.
i fear it will be, though. they ask us to press our congresspersons to support the movement, to express our napster-devotions to record companies, and to stay connected and keep napster running on our computers. the last i will do. hell, i religiously practiced the seti 'distributed processing' thing for a long time. and if i am going to be religious about it, the napster thing is much more a part of my world and closer to my heart than ET.

And the world will be better for this

That one man stormed and covered with scars
.
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
.
To reach the unreachable star

from Impossible Dream
but these things -- persuit of hope and the love of song -- are the politics of the muse and quite alien to politicians and businesses. indeed the muse is anathema to the music industry. so i fear for napster;
shawn fanning has become a
don quixote for me, and has revealed to me the beauty of his dulcinea, music. which, for some reason, i never really noticed before. i fear for the impossible dream.
yet, i hope...
ok, after some motrin and
ok, after some motrin and broken dishes, i think i have that stupid script working! comment at will...
napster was smokin last night
napster was smokin last night (or this morning, like 4am) -- everybody was there! searches were fast, high bit-rates were abundant, and i got stuck in some sort of sixties reminiscence (thank you kvjc, you have an excellent collection!)
now, of course, i obey the wishes of those pricks (whose assholes are so tight they could snap broomsticks) who want the RIAA to rule (heil!), and i do not actually keep any of these things. that would upset the economic balance of the universe, and send us careening into really dangerous places (lions and tigers and bears -- oh my!) or at least into places unfamiliar. (lions and tigers and bears -- oh my!)
anyway, these are most of the gems i found, almost all at 320. and of course i am not listening to them right now, of course i am not flying through the intoxicating ether that is music, of course i am not swimming in that exquisitely delicate, massively moving sea that is music.
i am not. that would be anti-social (or something).
enjoy life a little.
