I'm just about out of links. What I mean is, I store these things up, as I cruise the infosphere, these links. I don't go out looking for them, you know? They just turn up. I bookmark them in the Phree Musique? folder and then later I review them. Many are rejected for many reasons. Some are not really music places and some don't have the sort of download I generally demand. Some vanish and some are just bad. I had a pretty big backlog when I started, because like every other underemployed bored wage slave in the modern world I abused the internet when I had a regular office job. I have more exacting responsibilities now and the links have not been growing back as fast as they accumulated. I have many rich fields of possibility to explore, but nevertheless, things are bound to slow down for a while while I refuel. More on that tomorrow.
For now, I give you the 23rd Century, which for all its aggressive lofi weirdness style is (so much as I've heard so far) pretty much straightforward rock. It's all right. And after twenty minutes of weeding out this and that rotten MySpace functionality, songs in stupid formats (WMA? Please. What is this, 1998?), duplicates, Angelfire sites that don't load (and again: welcome to the 21st century, it's time to abandon that slide rule) a straightforward domain with functional direct downloads is a real treat.

The Future Is Then
Practice download etiquette: Rather than just clicking on MP3 links, please right click + "save as" (Windows) or control+click and "Download Linked File" (Mac). It will reduce the artists' bandwidth demands!
