Just an observation...
For those of you kids who dig Les Savy Fav - you really should check out
Hot Hot Heat, especially the song "Circus Maximus." They also have
keyboards that take some getting used to, but once you do, OOOHHH baby!
I have a bunch on Napster (I'm Mapledaisy), including their flip-side
singles with Red Light Sting, but I'm happiest with Circus Maximus.
I also found a cool web site called Fairtunes.com. It's a "virtual
tip-jar" for artists. Therefore, if you download quite a few songs from a
band that you like and respect, but have no further motive for actually
purchasing any other their "printed" work, you can go to fairtunes.com and
enter your credit card (just hear me out here!) and they send monthly
checks to the artists. You can enter just $5. To check their "legit-ness"
you can click "about," or see the article about them on ZDNet or The
Standard (just search fairtunes.com). The FAQs page on Fairtunes is good,
too.
Artists have already been cashing checks.
Anyone seen Mountain Con or Pleaseeasaur live? Any reviews, please? I'm
going to see them tomorrow night.
