Re: the Woebot list. Don't get me wrong...looks like a lot of neat stuff...in theory. Checked up on one of his "most excellent" links (the one featuring "the complete recorded output of The New York Rock and Roll Ensemble" from a site that's "very thorough") and discovered that it's missing their singles. This may be a picky point, but 1. that's not "complete" and 2. anyone interested enough in the band to want to download five albums is probably interested enough to want the non-album singles, not to mention a more thorough history than a cut 'n' paste from Wiki.
Also (and I don't particularly care much about this, except to the extent that Woebot makes such a big deal about the whole "ripped from vinyl" aspect) 4 of the 5 albums presented are reasonably easily found on CD.
It's just one artist from one blog, but leaves me a little dubious about Woebot's general ability to sort out wheat from chaff. Hopefully other links are a little more as described.

I'm sorry that it isn't up to your standards. Maybe you should point the way to those non-album singles, or send me a resonably priced copy of "Parallelograms" instead of moaning and groaning.
It's such a shame that these people who want to share what they love, which is mostly obscure and out-of-print (at least in many parts of the world), don't have anything for you.

Thought I went to sufficient lengths to make it clear that failure to live up to Woebot hype does not equal worthlessness. Must have been wrong.

http://prognotfrog.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post.html
basically some d-bag who runs a shitty prog label and a shitty prog webstore is going around having blogs shut down because they (the blog) don't have copyright to the material they're posting; neither does he, but that doesn't seem to bother him. so yeah, look for google/blogspot to flip out and start pulling mp3 blogs left and right.

this, coupled with the AT&T "SURE WE'LL FILTER COPYRIGHTED FILES!
