Bit Torrent is open source software for peer-to-peer file sharing. I have used it twice in the past, checking everything for viruses before using/downloading. It wasn't current music, I should add -- old, old stuff or archives that appeared to be legit. No Russian stuff, either! I'm not sure about the legitimacy of downloading the SXSW stuff, since it is recent. I did download when free tracks were listed last year, but I'm not sure about these torrents. So what do you do? Install the software, download the torrent, then unpack it.

Well, as I approach my first year here, I suppose it's about time I made my second post. I'm not the fastest typer and didn't want to use up my 10000 characters too quickly. However, I see that xtrev has raised my limit to 50000 now, so I'll try to be a little more wordy. First off, a big THANK-YOU to everyone for all the freebies I've found here. Also, another BIG thank-you to Mutantis for continuing to make the New Releases thread. I've been using those threads almost continually, since he started posting them here, and contributing nothing. I don't know if that will change that much, as I do have a tough time just keeping up with the other place and I've already been out trying to turn over the compost piles. It so smells like spring approaching and I can hardly wait. -always ps. I'm not sure how to preview this, so it will be what it will be.
Hey Confused ! - nice to see you here. Do not worry about not contributing, we all have our things to do.
Yeah, I can smell spring in my garden too and the blackbirds has started their morning singing... Lovely !

- In his own words:
"Id like to put my album Dichterlicht in the spotlight here as I consider it one of my better works.
It is available as a free download at Tibprod, but kind of buried in a big pile of other releases.
They also only link to the individual files. So I put it up in one convenient zip for your listening pleasure.
Its one of my more uniform albums and Im exploring some noisy territory. Couple that with the occasional dissonance and it might be a bit of an acquired taste. Yet theres still a lot to discover if you dig through the grainy and distorted textures."
I am a huge Dylan fan, so it is good to see a recording of Osaka, March 11, 2010 turn up on the Big-0. Charlie Sexton adds alot to the band, he was smoking when I saw Dylan in Chicago in October.
The Big-O has a particularly rich collection of freebies this week, the highlight (for me) is the Doors - The Miami Incident. The historic value of the recording outweighs any recording flaws. Put the kids to bed and turn the lights down low and listen as the madness unfolds.
In honor of the recent Led Zeppelin drop, I'll point out Rotterdam 1980, released by Swingin' Pig. This is one of Bonham's last shows.
Merge Records Sampler, 14 songs. Lots of good stuff on this one if you do not already have it. Poke around on Amazon, there is a New Porno song for free as well.

DR has a good concert of German-language Cabaret by Helene Gjerris. The sound quality suffers, but the performance are enjoyable. Nothing surprising in terms of song selection. There's no song listing, but I believe these were performed:
Another Blueshound find: Karen Cooper Complex - Shinjuku Birdwalk. Quoting Blueshound: "The tracks show traces of Zappa, The Residents and Furious Pig in a cross between 60s Beat generation poetry and 80s No-Wave." Sounds real good to me.
KCC group member Bill Altice notes that his previous group Bomis Prendin also has albums on freemusicarchive.org that sound interesting too.
From the Justnotnormal Netlabel: Joe Frawley - Angel Boxes Rachel Rambach, voice. Joe Frawley, piano & electronic arrangement. Music composed by Joe Frawley except False Memory and Red Moon by Joe Frawley/Rachel Rambach. Looking Glass composed by Rachel Rambach.
In case you don't read the Whirling Dervish thread:
I did not see this mentioned above: Sufi Music collection, free downloads. There are nine Dervish recordings at the top of the list, I am listening to one identified as "Turkish dervish whirling music." While there is a great deal of info on the site about instruments and styles, these files are not tagged well. I am hoping that other recordings on the page are better tagged.
