While I've only been actually reading blogs for a couple of years, I have my out-of-control RSS feed that harvests posts from more than 500+ blogs, the bulk of which are wordless entries that simply link to a Mediafire or Rapidshare of one or more albums. Most of these recordings are painfully obscure and never achieve virality, in spite of actually kicking ass and being way better than a lot of the crap that comes out nowadays.

Who could resist a computer singing "I Walk The Line", or Hugo Montenegro doing the Neil Diamond classic "Porcupine Pie"? It also features one of my favorite Walter Carlos tracks, the Burt Bacharach cover "What's New Pussycat". See the rest of this [...]
Sometimes, I think I’d like to be a cowboy. I’d start out doing all the normal cowboy things , like falling in love with swarthy maidens, getting shot, dying, coming back to life again, finding my one true love who would stand by me forever, going out and getting drunk and fighting, and all that good stuff.
