Uncomfortably stretched comparison of the day:
If you don’t care what happens to music, keep downloading. Look at music and look at the polar caps they’re melting at the same rate.Something to think about next time you open Azureus. Guess the eco-friendly anti-pirate, then take the jump.

Threatmantics are a scruffy Welsh rock trio that throw some wrinkles into the scruffy rock formula: Instead of a lead guitarist, they have a lead John Cale viola, and their drummer does double-time with a keyboard. The two guys mixing...

Oh, it wasn't Lars again? Shrug...

Wow. The little respect I had for him is gone...
