I was a bit miffed about that myself until I noticed that via the "help" link, you can get to the plain MP3s. http://www.petracovich.com/old_long_since/mp3s/index.html Yay, Petracovich! Might I also mention that her version of "The Magi" reminds me of one of The Cure's popular songs ("Without You"? I didn't quite get into The Cure). Mainly because of the rhythmic piano riff. Also, the recently-mentioned 50 Foot Wave EP "Power+Light" has bits that remind me of old Rush for some reason. I hope this doesn't mean my brain is melting. > Personally, i'm still trying to figure out how to open a couple of Cathy > Lesurf .ram files i downloaded a fortnight ago. I blame myself. I think those just have a bit of text in them that links to the real Real stream, unless those are the files that have the contents of the Real stream in them. So if you get a copy of Realplayer it can probably open them. > Happy Christmas > > Richard > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: JoAnn Whetsell > To: ecto@smoe.org > Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 1:34 PM > Subject: FW: Petracovich Free Winter Album and News > > > Date: Wed=2C 17 Dec 2008 13:22:26 -0800 > Subject: Petracovich Free Winter Album and News > From: jessica@redbuttonsrecords.com > To: jessica@redbuttonsrecords.com > > > > > > Petracovich Free Winter Album and News > > > P E T R A C O V I C H nnn > > > > Download the Petracovich winter album for FREE!!=20 > > Lo-Fi=2C bells=2C tinkery piano and harmonium.

Yeah, but I run Linux, and I did not see a version of Stuffit Expander for Linux using simple googlemancy, which is why I was temporarily miffed until I found the way to download the individual MP3 files. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #686 ***************************
