Download Myspace Music

I often browse for new music on MySpace.com - but there’s no easy way to download it from their site. With this in mind, here are some handy third-party solutions for downloading music from MySpace bands and profile pages.

Robert Pinsky - Impossible To Tell

I’m just posting this now because I found a stream of Pinsky reading it; anyway, this is one of my favourite poems, and if you want to listen for yourself I’ve uploaded it to the gallery. Enjoy.

Farplane Halo

A friend from a community I visit posted a link to his band’s myspace page. I had a listen, expecting to be underwhelmed, but some of the tracks - although there are only 4-5 on there - are really quite good. I really see this band going somewhere.

Joseph Kahn - Music Videos

Here are some selected music videos directed by Joseph Kahn. Hopefully they'll prove that there's at least some hope for the Neuromancer film; feel free to make up your own mind.

The first thing to note is that he has a lot of videos under his belt. Even if his only feature length film is Torque, he's hardly lacking in experience - and whether Torque is bad because of the director, or for other reasons (the concept for one…) I've yet to find out; I'll post a review just as soon as I get round to watching it. Heck, I may even enjoy it, in some bizzare attempt to persuade myself that Neuromancer is going to be the best thing since Serenity. Expect my biased, subjective opinion soon.

Neuromancer Audio Tapes

These are audio files of William Gibson reading an abridged version of Neuromancer. Each of the eight parts is about forty minutes long - and even if you're not into the cyberpunk genre, it's a good listen (and an even better read). They weren't incredibly easy to find - and I don't think they're available on tape any longer; so I figured I'd mirror them here.
