Music: September 2004 Archives
I have put some ska in the Jukebox. Smooth swinging horns, velvet vocals, rhythms...
When I read about the Jukebox that Lijn created, I got this feeling inside...
I copied the two files to my server, made some changes to the configuration, and there it is: the Brain Tags Jukebox!!!
It needs a little bit of decoration, but the functionality is there. All songs will stay available for 96 hours, after which they will automagically disappear.
At this moment you can find You Learn About It from The Gathering, and of course the wildly popular new song from the Pixies Ain't That Pretty At All.
Happy downloading!
[Update 2004.09.24] I added some echo statements to the PHP code, and the results looks a lot better. It is also valid XHTML now.
[Update 2006.11.9] More than two years later, the jukebox became obsolete and has been removed from this site.
Here is Johnny's guitar solo on the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated":

I have plenty of bandwidth, and have been thinking about ways to use it. It appears to me that the best way to burn up my bandwidth is to serve MP3 files.
So as an experiment I offer you Ain't That Pretty At All from the Pixies, since this is becoming a Pixies site anyway.
Keep in mind that it is an experiment; I might withdraw the file at any moment.
[Update 2004.09.17] I guess a week is more than enough for this experiment, so I removed the file. I have obtained the desired overview on how MP3 downloads affect bandwidth useage. I also found out that Pixies fans are highly interconnected: until 2 days ago, the file was hardly downloaded, but after somebody published a link on a buletin board, the link was copied to many other buletin boards within a few hours, and downloads skyrocked.
[Update 2004.09.22] With the addition of the Brain Tags Jukebox to this site, I also returned the Pixies file. It will be available for another 96 hours.
