Happy head-nodding…

It’s probably best to listen to this over your headphones, unless your co-workers have a good sense of humour, or are fans of falsetto, hair dye, facepaint and massive, massive guitars. The worst thing about it is that it’s brilliant:

Boston: More Than A Feeling

UFO: We Belong To The Night

Rainbow: Since You Been Gone

Journey: Don’t Stop Believin’

Asia: In The Heat Of The Moment

Guns ‘N’ Roses: Sweet Child O’ Mine

Bon Jovi: Livin’ On A Prayer

Toto: Hold The Line

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama

Kansas: Carry On Wayward Son

UFO: Doctor Doctor

Kiss: Strutter

Alice Cooper: Poison

Scorpions, Berlin Philharmonic: Hurricane 2000

It is for this reason that I’ve decided to bow to greater wisdom and accept what is given to me by my betters. However, since it as good to give as well as recieve, I will share this playlist of Spotify’s hundred [well, 94] most popular tracks this year, with you, gentle reader. Hopefully by the time you’ve listened to 6 hours of music, the Turkey will have subsided, and you can go and investigate that bit of left-over Christmas pudding.

God’s representative on Earth, his Holiness Pope Benedict the 16th has (for the Lord’s own ineffable reasons) got a myspace account, and has had his chaps at the Vatican put together a few playlists, apparently “a perfect mix of classical, world and contemporary music. The genres are very different from each other, but all these artists share the aim to reach the heart of good minded people.” Nice to see that Tupac and Muse have got the same standing as Mozart in the eyes of the Church… although from what I hear Mozart was a bit of a racy character, and more likely to have headed downstairs than through the pearly gates.You could try submitting your own music for a feature – after all, getting in with the big guy couldn’t hurt your chances of a No.1.

A few of my favourite classical pieces to waft you through the last few working hours of the week – I’m sure that these are cringingly pop to anyone who knows anything about clasical music, but I think they’re amazing. The variation of the simple theme in the Moonlight sonata has got to be one of the best things ever to come out of a human brain.

The resulting climate now is one of fierce competition of companies and developers trying to out do each other and re-invent themselves.

The vision of Grooveshark.com is to bring people and music closer together by making the whole process of finding the song you want that much easier. Whilst doing their bit to change the way the music industry is run to ways they seem so unwilling to consider. Grooveshark.com offers ways for listening to the old classics or the most up-todate numbers without having to worry about those ugly file sharing sites that seem to be nipping at everyone’s feet.

Grooveshark over the last few months have been successfully talking to a confident amount of copyright holders about licensing agreements and to distribute their content in a way that will be mutually beneficial to both parties.

In a nutshell, Grooveshark seems to be the sort ofgrooveshark website that hundreds, probably thousands, of music fans have dreamed of. Easy, Legal and free way of just quickly sticking on that song that that girl told you about last night, or an awesome song you want your mates to hear. Grooveshark.com is a music site made for music fans by music fans. Sam Tarantino (founder anc CEO) and Douglas Bell (Network and systems administrator) themselves are both musician and are obviously the kind of people that now what people want, and as genuine music fans know what music fans want. But the difference is they have gone and made it happen.

We love you Grooveshark.com keep up the good work.
