Managed to get hold of, quite legitimately, of a copy of "Secrets of The Witching Hour" by The Crimea. 

This was an album that was made freely available for download from their website when they released it but only at something like 98Kbit or 128Kbit and it was a slightly modified version of the purchasable album.

The band recently split up, just after releasing their third, and last, album but you can now get SoTWH  at 320Kbit directly from their website, and its the full version with with tracks in a slightly different order and with some vocal links re-introduced

The best thing is that it's still free. So if you like quirky, odd, English Alternative Rock then its probably worth checking out.

Happy Holidays

If there is one depressing thing about Thanksgiving it is what comes afterwards – yes that’s right: Christmas, or as they say in America “Holidays”.

Now I know the UK is far from perfect but we don’t leap into the “Happy Holiday Spirit” the way our American cousins do. Right after Thanksgiving the “Holiday” adverts begin. Holiday specials on jewellery, on power tools, on cars – yes they have Holiday Specials on the latest Ford Trucks. Its Madness.

But the madness really shows through when it comes to the Radio. Take 94.9 WHOM (Portland, Maine’s “America’s Superstation”) for example. It normally plays music that is OK to listen to… but not now, oh no, its now broadcasting “100% Christmas Music”. Yes you read that correctly – 100% Christmas music.. from now until Boxing Day… and its not even sodding December yet.
