Subscription Music Services Are Born

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007
Of course, there have been other free mp3 music downloading sites and peer-to-peer networking services since the fall of Napster. Although, not one of them have had the same hold on the market as Napster had. As you might expect, the recording industry was getting nervous about losing money and began pressuring lawmakers to crack down on illegal free music downloading sites, though lately they have been losing case after case. So, subscription music services seemed like a solution to some. You see, Instead of having to buy the CDs, with a the subscription music service, you can download the music you want. You pay on a per song downloaded scale which is usually about $.99 per download which can quickly add up into a lot of money. The best thing about it is if you want to download just a couple songs instead of the whole album, you have that option. You can download music video’s, top 40 hits, albums, or music collections if you so choose.

Audios that Help You Learn Spanish

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

When in school, learning Spanish was the class I liked least…. Vocabulary and pronounciation just did not like me and I certainly did not like them!

Recently a friend pointed me to the download site for the Pimsleur Spanish I Part 1 audio. He had started to learn Spanish with it and told me it was so easy, he could not believe it: Plugging in the earphones about an hour a day and listening to this foreign language audio lesson, made his brain absorbe the stuff automatically. He says he starts to think ahead and sometimes talk (!) ahead of the audio, whilst listening on his commute to and from work.

So I gave it a try too, and yep! this is the way to go!!! I’ve now started to download the next lessons – Pimsleur Spanish Course – and am ‘training’ my brain to understand Spanish. It is truly fun, realizing that the Hispanic TV channels now all of sudden start to make sense – I actually enjoy learning Spanish now.

Psychedelic Album Covers Of The Sixties

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

During the 1960’s and 1970’s, album covers tended toward conceptual protests of previous ideas of good cover design. Abstract psychedelic patterns were popularly tied in to this new concept. The “hippie” times were a period of mind expansion and discovery, characterized by demands for social and political reform. This was expressed through the medium of the album cover, with photographs of war contrasting with portrayals of aristocratic wealth. On a lighter note, “flower children”, nature, and Eastern religion were combined with psychedelic mind-blowing color-infused patterns.

Detective Story Audio Books.

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Welcome, to our ready-made, high quality, downloadable audio book store.

For this month, we shall concentrate our attention on the famous Sherlock Holmes.

“For generations, the legend has been passed down – a satanic tale of a gigantic hell-hound, a devil incarnate who stalks the wastes of Dartmoor wreaking a bloody and terrible vengeance on the Baskerville family.

What turns out to be one of the most interesting cases of the great detective’s career begins when a country doctor visits Holmes and Watson in London. He brings with him the legend of the hound and news of the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles’ heir, Henry, is arriving from America and the doctor is afraid for the young man’s life. Holmes despatches Dr Watson to accompany them back to the dark and sombre estate in the Devon moor.

With peril at every turn and a murderous escaped convict at large, the mystery deepens. Is the ancient legend true, or is the hideous creature merely a part of a sinister conspiracy whose origins are all too diabolically human?”

That, of course, was from ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Click on the title, or ‘more’ and it will take you to my main site, where you may indulge your self with additional reading or, indeed, even actually listen to a generous extract from the stories.  This site consists of over over 5,000 audio titles and over 7,200 webpages.  All the data (including photos of every audiobook, and streaming audio samples) has already been entered and is continually updated.  You have powerful search features and everything you need to locate the audio book you seek.

Clicking ’site map’, on the left will offer a further list, containing not only Sherlock Holmes, but other luminaries such as Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, Edna Buchanan, J.D. Robb, etc.

Of course these are just a few, in this genre, that you may listen to on my actual main audio book web site.

Such as:

  • Detective
  • Horror & Suspense
  • Thrillers
  • True Crime
  • Action & Adventure
  • Classics

And much more

Cheers,

Ray Cunningham.

Dashing Through The Christmas Songs

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

But Christmas songs evolved. From the free domain songs that are still absolutely moving, like “O Holy Night” and “Little Drummer Boy,” sung by kids in itchy Christmas pageants or pious choirs once a year without fail and simple ditties about food and presents and figgy pudding and nog, Christmas songs have gone into penetrating, challenging, bonding, and spiritually elevating realms.

Online Movie Rentals like Netflix

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Online movie rental companies are popping up everywhere now. What started just a short while ago as a sort of strange new concept is now quickly becoming a standard in movie renting. Even the big name video rental stores are beginning to start their own online movie rental deals to get in on the action before its too late.

There are some nice benefits in online movie rental deals. The most attractive aspect I think is the fact that there aren’t any late fees. I can’t stand late fees, some movie rental stores can be really annoying about them. You have to pay five bucks just for the privilidge of borrowing their cheaply mass produced DVD that they purchased in bulk for a dollar each, then you are subject to a hefty fee if you’re even a few hours late in returning it. With so many alternative options, such as online movie rentals, I find myself going to video rental stores less and less often.

Another great thing about online movie rentals is the price. For somewhere around 20 dollars a month you can rent as many movies as you can within their fairly generous limits. The limits on online movie rental deals vary, but I’m allowed three movies at any one time with mine….

Bon Jovi Concert Tickets Available

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

I’ve been a rock and roller for my whole life. Entering my late 30s, and still single (ladies, that means I’m here for you), it’s obvious that I know how to party and party hard. So when I go to a rock and roll show, they should reserve tickets for me, automatically. I mean I am the life of the party. But when I checked out Bon Jovi tour dates (Bon Jovi is my favorite rocker of all time), and tried to order tickets, I was in for a surprise. I tried all of the numbers, all of the sites, but there were no Bon Jovi concert tickets left!
Yeah, I know. I should have started looking for Bon Jovi concert tickets before the last minute. Don’t think that normally I wouldn’t, but with the custody battle over my kid and the repossession of my house and everything, things have been a little busy. Anyway, I’ve got dozens of connections in the city. I know roadies, managers and staff in every venue in this state, practically. You’d think that, with all that I’d be able to score some Bon Jovi concert tickets, even if I had to settle for nosebleeds. But no such luck until I found out…

Billy Joel Album

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

This article is about someone getting their first Billy Joel Album.

I only made 50 cents a week in allowance and I figured at that rate it would take years to buy the Billy Joel album. (O.K…so I wasn’t good at math) I just knew that I had to have it, so I started a campaign of chores to show my parents I deserved a larger allowance.

Would an Audio CD Book Make a Good Gift?

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

An article about audio CD books.

For a lot of people, an audio CD book is the ideal gift. Here’s why…

Some people hate read but love literature. How’s that for confusing? And frustrating, if you are trying to buy a Christmas, birthday, or other gift for this person.

For example, I have a brilliant friend who is the Albert Schweitzer of computer programmers and developers. It makes sense that working at a computer reading a screen ten hours a day depletes his interest in hard copy text. At the same time, he loves stories, comic tales, and intellectual comedy in general. And he is a devotee of NPR, Car Talk, and other radio talk programs. So the most logical and generous thing to do for him is buy him something that will talk to him, tell him tales, make him laugh: an audio CD book is the thing.
