Music when you want it

There's this new music player called Spotify.
I downloaded it to see what it is all about.
You can basically listen to any song by any band in the world, well almost.
Amazing.
Although my band isn't on it, bastards.

From the site:

Spotify is a new way to enjoy music. Simply download and install, before you know it you’ll be singing along to the genre, artist or song of your choice. With Spotify you are never far away from the song you want.

There are no restrictions in terms of what you can listen to or when. Forget about the hassle of waiting for files to download and fill up your hard drive before you get round to organising them. Spotify is instant, fun and simple.

Because music is social, Spotify allows you to share songs and playlists with friends, and even work together on collaborative playlists, Friday afternoon in the office might never be the same again! We’re music lovers like everyone else.

We want to connect millions of people with their favorite songs by creating a product that people love to use. We respect creativity and believe in fairly compensating artists for their work. We’ve cleared the rights to use the music you’ll listen to in Spotify.

Soon you'll have this for your mobile and that'll be the end of music as we know it!

10 dead dirty album covers

2009-04-04T16:48:00.007+01:00

Cheers to Class of 1984 for this great collection of sexy/dirty/wrong album covers;

1. Kevin Rowland - My Beauty

eh..........

2. Liars - It Fit When I Was A Kid

filthy beggars....bit of controversy about this Liars EP cover...the official vinyl release was limited to 500 copies but rest assured a special addition is on its way...complete with testicles

3. Millie Jackson - Back To The Shit

with such classic hits like Love Stinks and Muffle That Fart, Millie Jackson was what they called in the 80s as "defecation chic"

4. Lords of Acid - The Crablouse/Pussy

the Belgian Acid House band gets two mentions....less tasteful than Peter Saville? true enough...but with lyrics like "Darling, come here / fuck me up the…" it needed a certain designerly approach

5. The Handsome Beasts - Bestiality

"the original fat bastard" Garry Dalloway gets playful in this classic from the Birmingham heavy metal band....metaphorically dirty.....literally dirty....in fact....just plain wrong

6. Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of The Mutilated

"I Cum Blood", "Addicted to Vaginal Skin and "Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's Cunt" are just a few of the timeless songs found on this family favourite...put a smile on your partner or friends face this holiday season with Cannibal Corpse

7. Richard and Willie - Funky, Honky, Nasty, Nigger

when ventriloquism went mainstream

8. Pat Boone - In A Metal Mood

in 1997 Pat "take a knife and put it in your eye" Boone released a collection of heavy metal covers....he appeared at the American Music Awards in black leather, shocking audiences and losing his respectability among his largest constituency: conservative Christian....he has to date sold over 45 million albums...38 top-40 hits....starred in over 12 Hollywood movies.....and does product endorsement for General Motors...now if you dont feel dirty after having read that then you are a serial killer who likes to hang the skins of dead children in your attic...ye sicko

9. Pooh-Man - Funky As I Wanna Be

they gave him complete artistic freedom.........he came back with this.........they were disappointed

10. NOFX - Heavy Petting Zoo

"Heavy Petting Zoo" is the 6th full lenght album to be released by the american punk rock band NOFX....the LP format of the same album is called "Eating Lamb", and features different cover art....comparatively worse...but then...isnt everything

* Honourable Mention

Smell The Glove - Spinal Tap

well....the original at least

Best Virus Ever!

2008-04-30T12:27:00.002+01:00

Check out this mac virus. How does is it work?? Noone knows...

From the site:

Spice up your colleagues’ day with our Newton Virus, the first virus to introduce gravity to your laptop, causing the desktop icons to fall down as if subject to the gravitational pull from the real world.
Newton Virus comes on a USB key for manual infection. Simply plug the key into a computer and the virus will automatically copy itself on the hard drive.
The virus will then hit at random, but only once. It will not replicate itself, mail itself to your friends or destroy any of your files, but instead provides you with moments of blissful surprise and magic.
