Stereo8 is an internet radio with a twist: the listeners share and choose the music

Seit letzter Nacht ist bekanntlich die filmische Nachlassenschaft des Mister Michael Jackson weltweit gestartet. SONY hat sich natuerlich alle Rechte im Vorfeld “angeeignet” (c) by SONY ... Read more

... ist man geneigt, schnell ueber die Lippen zu bringen. Und in der Tat, unverhofft kommt wirklich oft, zudem auf entspannte Weise.

In letzter Zeit waechst das Themeninteress, fixiert auf Realtime updates, zusehnlichst. Hierbei kommt man um Twitter natuerlich nicht umher, obgleich ich wiederholt festgestellt habe : nicht jede sympatische, in einer Medien Agentur arbeitende, Nase nennt einen Twitteraccount ihr Eigen !!

Aber auch Facebook versucht aus den Kinderschuhen zu wachsen. Somit schaue ich ab und an in meinen dortigen Accountbereicht, was sich dieses mal als kleiner Jackpot offenbarte, denn : Pierro was the winner !

Und dies via Facebook, denn zu meinem Erstaunen erhaelt man doch einen Gewinn, so man sich an einer "Ausschreibung" beteiligt. So geschehen auf der Facebook "Wand" von DNMKmusic

DNMK versteht sich als Themenblog/-magazin für den weiten Bereich elektronische Musik. Von Techno über House zu Electronica und auch Hip Hop, Grime und anderen urbanen Sounds geht es sehr DJ-affin zu. Neue Technik wird mit alten Trends verglichen und der Hype wird in Frage gestellt.

In der Zeit als Minimal noch ein Supermarkt war kamen die Autoren des Blogs in den Kontakt mit dem Techno der später eine Generation bewegen sollte. Etwas altersschwach wird nun Revue passiert und die letzten 10 bis 15 Jahre Erfahrung zeigen heute was aus dem Shit geworden ist.

Anders als von Mr. ***** (Namen sind Schal und Rauch) bekannte Gewinnactionen, bei denen man einem gewissen Twitteruser zu folgen hat um eventuell ein Macbook zu gewinnen, wobei man selbstredend jene Gewinnausschreibung zu tweeten oder zumindest darueber zu bloggen hat, reichte bei der DNMKmusic Gewinnausschreibung ein Kommentar auf Facebook.

Somit Dank auf allen Wegen fuer die mich erreichten CD`s ...

35 Places To Download Free, Legal MP3s - Sorry, RIAA!

In the interest of helping our readers stay out of jail and avoid massive fines, here are a bunch of places you can get tunes without fear of finding a summons in your mailbox. There's plenty of good, free, and legal music on the net for you to download.

1. Altsounds has a lot of streaming content, but there are quite a few quality mp3 downloads mixed in, including bands like Anberlin, Panic at the Disco, 10 Years, and Underoath.
2. bt.etree.org tracks live recording torrents of "bootleg friendly" bands. You'll be able to find all kinds of FLAC downloads from performers like Ben Harper, Jerry Garcia, Blues Traveler, Trey Anastasio (I smell a trend here, or at least some patchouli), Radiohead, Primus, and even Tenacious D.
3. Legaltorrents is still in its early stages, but there are still a number of music and audio books available from their site.
4. Stereogum has been offering free, legal mp3s since 2006. They're all still available, along with zip and torrent file archives of previous months. The Gum Mix streams music to you while you browse, and all the tracks it plays can be downloaded.
5. SXSW is a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is, they only have one torrent file for download. The good news? It contains over 700 mp3s of bands that performed in 2007 for a whopping total of 3.1 gigs of audio. Change the year in the subdomain to get the 2006 and 2005 downloads.
6. Unsigned Band Web is a palce for, well, unsigned bands to share their music and get noticed. Just about every genre you can imagine is offered here, and they maintain charts to show you what's hot. Apparently electronica is hot. Maybe I'll stick to genre browsing. Bottom line: tons of free mp3s to download.
7. Soundclick's music page will hook you up with a ton of downloads, including more unsigned acts - like my favorite new addiction: German hip hop. I blame my scarf-wearing co-worker.
8. Honc "if you love music. The site isn't much to look at, but there's still more undiscovered goodness to be found here.
9. DMusic has been offering indie musicians a chance to be heard since 1998. Top 20 charts are maintained for each of the 20+ main genres (which are broken down into several sub-genres as well).
10. Fuzz offers - oh crap - a mixtape feature. The interface is cool as hell, and there's a ton of great, free music to discover on the site.
11. iCompositions is dedicated to music created with Mac's Garage Band software. You'll need to register in order to download songs.
12. The Internet Archive has a massive audio section, including audio books as well as music. Be sure to check out the open source section, with over 150,000 Creative Commons licensed items.
13. Peoplesound is similar to Jamendo, but you'll find some major label artist offerings. Registration is required to download, and you'll have to browse the genres/artists to find the mp3 files, but they have plenty up for grabs.

Und vielerlei anderer ...

Die Aequidistanz zu bestehenden Interessensvertretungen fuer KuenstlerInnen und Kulturschaffende sowie zu Musikwirtschaft und Kulturveranstaltern ist dabei grundlegendes Prinzip. "
