I'm guilty of leaving out of my mailing what you said, about how relationships can make you stronger. Stupid of me, because this is just what has happened with the guy I'm to marry. Before I met him I was pretty lost and insecure, extremely unhappy and lacking in confidence. He came along and although he didn't take the burden onto his own shoulders (I'm glad he didn't!) he helped show me that I had the power to change myself. He is my best friend, and we support each other in all things. I guess that way we are both growing stronger. Thanks for your response, Joyce, you're obviously a pretty sorted person.

Does anybody know if Sarah Slean has a new one out yet? What's the fastest way I can get a copy of Veda Hille's _Spin_? Anybody on the list willing to take a chance on me? Anybody heading to a Michelle Shocked show and can pick me up a copy of her latest disc (which I just forgot the name of)? I think I'm one of the very few left on the suddenly, tammy! list. No traffic at all, except for the latest message. There's a good chance they're being dropped by Warner Bros., and they're going to start shopping for another label. I wonder if anybody has told them about Samson? Sorry for all the inquiries.

I rather liked Natalie Imbruglia's Torn when it was released, and bought both versions of the UK release CD-single. However, I wasn't greatly impressed by any of the other tracks and never bought the album. Since then, my local radio station Southern FM have played Torn to death so I don't bother to listen to it much any more. FYI the track listings of the two releases were (on RCA/BMG): Cat No. 74321537982: Torn, Sometimes, Frightened Child Cat No. 74321527992: Torn, Contradictions, Diving In The Deep End. Releasing two versions of a single is now quite common in this country, as it provides an extra boost to sales, and hence chart ratings, since the fans buy both. Simon n.p.

Wow, I thought I was looking at the Zorn list for a moment. The only Buckethead I've heard is "Praxis: Transmutation Live", which is dynamite. Sorta like if you cloned Grandmaster Flash five times and had him jam with Van Halen. I did a doubletake when I spotted a Buckethead track on a "Higher Octave" newage compilation last night.

Depending on the age of the inmates, programming labs tend to pulse to the rhythm of groups such as the Grate- ful Dead or Metallica. It was therefore only a matter of time before the campus software whizzes started turning their hacking skills to music, sending shivers through the recording industry. Two things made it happen. The first was when personal computers with enough processing muscle to prise music tracks off compact discs and scrunch them into little digital packages fbr swap- ping over the Internet fell to the kind of prices students could afford. That was around 1995 when computers with faster versions of intel's Pentium processor in- side dropped to $2,500 or so. The second development came soon after, when a few underground program- mers began giving away home-made soft- ware tools for making and replaying highly compressed audio files. Since then, a global web of underground music clubs has sprung up on the Net, offering ar- chives of songs by popular and not so popular (and downright unpopular) rock groups for free downloading. With the right equipment, fans can now mix and match their own CDs from assortments of their favourite artists. Against the law Most of what this underground commu- nity is doing is, strictly, illegal. Bootleg sites tend to be deep inside college com- puters unbeknown to campus officials. A small but growing proportion of the mu- sic being exchanged is from "garage bands" that allow their music to be downloaded for free, hoping to be discov- ered by a record company. But the bulk of the digital music on the Net is copy- righted by a major recording studio. The Recording industry Association of Amer- ica has declared war on music hackers ev- erywhere. Last June, it won a case against the owners of three Web sites for copy- right infringements. But for every pirate site shut down, a dozen spring up. What is propelling this roll-your-own CD movement is not profit so much as the same hacker ethic that drove technically- savvy youngsters to become illegal "phone phreaks" in the 1970s. The moti- vation comes from a fascination with technology plus the satisfaction of being able to flaunt techno-mastery to like- minded folk around the world. Now the relevant technology heralds from the ar- cane world of "codec" (compression-de- compression) software used for shrinking- bulky streams of digital information, es- pecially video and audio, so as to make them morehandleable. Rocktunes last on average four minutes. On a CD, this uses 40-50 megabytes of storage space. To send that information stream over the Net with the kind of modem most people use (one that can handle 28.8 kilobits a sec- ond) would take nearly four hours. A whole CD would take two days. That was before clever codecs. With new processing power to play with, young music hackers on campuses from Kyoto to California grabbed one of the best audio codecs around-mp3-to cre- ate a global standard for themselves to bootleg tracks OffCDS. The mp3 codec rep- resents the very best sound (Layer 3) asso- ciated with a standard devised by the Mo- tion Picture Expert Group (MPEG), an international body affiliated with the United Nations. The latest version of MPEG was developed for squeezing high- definition television broadcasts-with their huge amounts of video and audio information-through today's skinny Tv channels. it is also used to store a full- length moviewithpin-sharppicturesand cinema-like sound on the new DvD (digi- tal video disc) that is poised to take over from the video cassette. Apart from being lightning fast at compressing and decompressing an au- dio file (some codec programs take many minutes to work their magic), the thing about mp3 is that it can squeeze a stereo CD track to at least a twelfth its original size-and still maintain a fidelity of sound which, to the human ear, is just as good as the uncompressed track on the CD. But the real beauty to bootleggers is that a fbur-minute song squeezed by mP3 takes only 2o minutes or so to download. And the space it occupies on the receiving Piff s hard-drive is a mere four megabytes instead of the 40-50 megabytes of the un- compressed version. The rule of thumb with mp3 is one minute ofcd-quality mu- sic per megabyte. Suddenly, the Internet is alive with Web sites with names such as Asmith, Dimension Music and Ministry of Sound that offer all the software tools for making your own, as well as listening to other people's, mp3 tracks, The first thing you need to sample mp3 music is a multimedia PC, one equipped with a decent sound-card and proper stereo loudspeakers. You then need to download an mp3 player-a piece of software that decompresses an mp3 music track and plays it back through the P(fs sound system. Where to find them? The easiest way is to took up "mFS'using a popular search engine such as Excite, infoseekoryahoo. With the player program installed on the computer, it is time to get some songs to play. To skirt the law, most mp3 sites on the Internet have a "try-and-buy" section where visitors can browse and download songs on the strict understanding that they will buy the actual CD if they like the mp3 track in question; otherwise, they must delete the track from their hard- drive within 24 hours. There are, of course, no penalties for not doing so. Keep out of court To create mP3 files for one's own personal amusement is probably acceptable-and some of the sites mentioned above de- scribe in detail how it is done. But to transmit such audio files over the Inter- net is a serious infringement of the record company's copyright. Fortunately for the music industry, ripping tracks off a CD (that is the technical term) and compress- ing them with an MP3 encoder requires skills beyond most casual PC users. The loss of revenue caused by music hackers is minuscule compared with the damage from even a single pirate CD plant. Rather than prosecuting the hackers, the record companies ought to be enlist- ing them. For one thing is glaringly obvi- ous: the underground music networks are pioneering a more efficient form of distri- bution that the record companies would do well to emulate. - --------------82A189D3DAB3081A919672B8-- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 21:34:49 -0500 From: Philip David Morgan Subject: Almost the end of the Imbruglia thread...

OK, the problem is: my boss _loves_ Enya. "Why is this a problem?" you may ask. The problem is, that for the past 4 years, his 3-disc player has played Shepherd Moons, Watermark, and another one, and all of us who have at one time or another been fond of Enya are sick to death of her. I brought in The Celts disc, so at least we'd be able to listen to a different disc. One weekend when he was out of town, I put Kate Bush in the CD player, and his wife, who is president of the company, said, "Ohmigod, it's not Enya! I like it!!" He has Shepherd Moons in his car tape deck, and I don't think it's moved in years. We all want to kill my co-worker whose discs they are, since he brought them in one weekend and they've been in the player ever since. No, he does not want them back anymore. What can I get him for variety? There probably should be some good Clannad discs I can try him on - I bought the new one, and there are some songs I think he'd like, but it won't be enough to grab him, so perhaps some old ones as suggestions? I tried Loreena McKennit's the visit, but Enya ended up back in the tray. I am so Orinco Flow'd out, I really am, and I used to like her so much. So, any suggestions?

I'm sure there are a lot of whiners like me out there, but this is one of the rare occasions where I've seen all the Best Picture nominees and Titanic wasn't it. My pick would've been Good Will Hunting (but then again, it struck a personal nerve and may have affected me more than the average joe) although I would've lost sleep over not giving my vote to LA Confidential (just an astounding movie with a great cast and story...however I did think that Minnie Driver did a better job than Kim Basinger). Lots of paretheses....I apologize. Other than that, I thought Elliot Smith did a nice job at the awards. I love his music from Good will Hunting.
