SoulSeek

My raging enthusiasm for this peer-to-peer file-sharing program called SoulSeek resulted in a very long (and thankfully discarded) post in which I rattled off a dozen or so albums it has brought my way that I was never able to locate on WinMX's network. SoulSeek's users really do have everything you've ever heard of, and the program is brilliantly designed. Suffice it to say (I quote myself here), "DOWNLOAD SOULSEEK NOW IF YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANYTHING."

I kind of found this Radiohead-bashing rant funny...as a Radiohead fan, I'm not laughing at him, I'm laughing at me. But I still love Radiohead. This rant is part of a series of rants called Your Band Sucks, which is pretty consistently funny. The funniest part is that when I agree with the guy I feel justified, and when I disagree I feel autonomous.

Thanks to SoulSeek and some involved internet research, I've come to acquire somewhere close to everything The Unicorns have ever recorded. To follow my binary quest, click here and here and here and here. Adventures in SoulSeek and Google have also led to massive updates of my Deerhoof discography, the so near-completion of my collection, and a number of songs that are utterly irreconcilable with what I know about their history.

Happy New Year.
