Music Downloading Tricks

similar topics pop up from time to time, but thought i'd make a more current one since the scene changes all the time and new techniques for finding shit come about.

typically i'd use piratebay to find torrents for music, but a lot of what i listen to is too obscure *sips PBR* for the place and i can't find what i'm looking for.

i've messed around with what.cd but they're kind of like elitists over there and i ended up getting tangled up in all the tracking/ratio business and got the boot.

so what's your favorite method?

(and don't say itunes, i easily spend a grand a year on live music and rationalize pirating tunes in this way)

Interactive Annual Reports?

not annual reports for interactive designers, but annual reports whose designs are interactive.

maybe the cover has a punch-out bit you can fold into something, or a pop-up scene, or there's a microchip in it or you can eat a corner of it and hallucinate or something.

i gotta do an annual report and i wanna make it interesting. seen anything really creative?

Halloween EDM Tracks

let's start a playlist. shit you'd drop at a party to get people going and in the spirit of things.

i only say EDM 'cause i don't wanna rehash the standard "monster mash", etc you've heard at every halloween gathering since junior high.

what that means is up to you

Art car ideas?

i'm getting tired of replacing bicycle tires at burning man so i've been looking around at vehicles. only thing is, to get licensed to drive out there your vehicle has to be seriously arted-up. as in not even really recognizable as a vehicle.

so let's say we started with this...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51vv%2BfKNkwL._SS400_.jpg

what would be fun, funny or ridiculous to do with it? i can build anything onto it, it's got a frame i can weld onto, and i figure i can use stretched fabric or chicken wire and fibreglass to form an outer shell... lights and speaker system are a given.

i just have no ideas

best BASS tracks

the kind that rattle the dishes and make the neighbors complain. if it can be played at any volume below "11" it doesn't go here.

post your favorite heavy hitters and lets try and destroy each other's speakers.

When a girl says...

"i'm bringing my lover/friends" when she's talking about attending a festival you'll be camping together at... and she's been all up on your cyber-jock for two years, what does this mean?

she keeps using this word "lover" instead of boyfriend. does this mean she's fair game?
