Now they're removing entire tracks? What a ripoff.I've been reading a free Kindle book on my 4-inch SmartPhone.

Here's a decent nugaze/noisepop band, apparently from France though they sing in unaccented English, (and I could find hardly any additional info about them). Anyway, it's free, no e-mail address required, and they sound a bit like an updated versio…Can you run a wire through your house from the cable/DSL modem to your wireless router?
