Muso-bable
The thoughts and ocassional ramblings of a 30-something muso.
Hello, I’m a muso. I'm one of those guys you see digging around the racks of vinyl in London's backstreet record shops. I'm not addicted, I can give it up whenever I want. I just need to find that limited edition 7" single that the NME made single of the week. Maybe you've bumped into me in the queue for the bar at The Academy or The Astoria. There are thousands of us in London - I've seen all the regular faces in the record shops and at the gigs.

This blog is my attempt to write about the records that I love, the gigs I've been to and, well, anything else to do with music. Hopefully you'll find something here that makes you nod in agreement or rant in disagreement or maybe even laugh.

It Was Fun While It Lasted
I just found out the rather depressing news that easytree.org, a bit torrent site I've been known to frequent has been forced to shut down. There is a full explination on their site and a thread on slashdot.

What is the world coming to. This site was for fans to share live (i.e. out of copyright) performances. I've even seen the site admins pull torrents off of the site on request of artists or because they may contain released material. I mean, its ludicrous to say that because I've downloaded a live show by Bloc Part or Ryan Adams. I'm not going to go and buy the album. I already own all of hte albums, and want something else usually recordings of gigs I've been at. It just seems to be a bit greedy.

Anyone know of another good live music torrent site?
