Free Music - The Cool Way!! The Legal Way!!

June 11th, 2008

Whilst looking at my favourite/favorite site on web design, www.cssremix.com i happened to make my way to find my way to a nicely designed flash site. The site featured mixes from an independant group called the www.betaclan.net. This group generously offered a few of their past albums for free download (Thanks Beta Clan :-))

I was hooked!!! A couple hours of bedroom-glow-stick-raving (video to come…actually not a good idea!!) and a few glasses of water later I was ready to start a mini exploration of similar sites. I managed to find a couple of good sites offering music under creative commons licensing and free download. You have to hear the music from these links! I listen to a broad range of music. Hope you’ll find something you like. There is definitely a different vibe present in this free music. There is a rawness that unfortunately, I feel doesn’t make it into a lot of commercial music. There’s also a nice feeling that you get inside knowing that you are getting exclusive tracks straight from the source, that none of your mates will have from HMV, iTunes, etc. Half the fun of music is in sharing it with others who haven’t heard before (for me anyways). Any other links that you leave in comments to this post would be greatly appreciated. :-)

May the force be strong in your glow-sticks!

$10,000.00 for Sex in The City!!

June 9th, 2008

I have a special email where i direct all my junk mail (you should invest in one :-)) . I use it when i sign up to competitions, freebies, and anywhere else that may send viral emails at me. I happened to sign up to some SEO (search engine optimisation) site last year and get at least one email a day from them. Their most recent email mentions an ebay technique they used to earn money from home. I thought id take a look.

It basically launches a podcast with slideshow (camtasia clip) where the speaker talks about a lady he met at a conference. This lady wasn’t your average web savy and decided to bestow all her ebay money making techniques upon the speaker. The speaker then after telling us guys how even calls his contact on skype and although she doesn’t mention what she sells, she gladly validates his claims. hmmm!

I decided to pop over to ebay to see what i could find out about these info products that they claim to sell for hundreds of dollars. Im not sure what to think. Although i did see a few for just over $100 i didnt see many (i think only 1) with any bids. I decided to look harder!!

What words to search for …hmm need a nieche…. “make money”…. what are these entrepreneurs marketing i must find out…. “stragegy” …”guide” … “how to”…. “ebay Jedi Masters”

Then i discovered the Sex in the City Script for sale only $10,000 signed by all the cast and with only an hour to go…
