Thing 42: Music 2.0

Music on the internets! Wow, that one's old news. My husband RAN out to buy an HD radio just for The Morning Show, so we don't use the internet for it.

If I listened to lots of music, I'd probably really like the Music Genome Project and the Hype Machine.

Nine sites for lyrics, and all of them came up when I clicked except lyrics.com! I am surprised. However, I'm more entertained by The Archive Of Misheard Lyrics.

"THE MISHEARD: Might as well face it, you're a d**k with a glove

Real Lyric: Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.

Artist Robert Palmer
Song Addicted To Love

The story:
I thought that it was a song about Michael Jackson and I asked a friend if he had heard this song. He had me recite the lyrics. He laughed at me for days."

Some of the misheard lyrics make more sense than the originals!

As for various audio players, a friend gave me a whole stack of MP3 audiobooks burned to cd, so my next project is to convert them to regular cd files -- my car doesn't have a jack for an MP3 player, and the radio tuner units
are pretty bad.

Actually the NetLibrary audiobooks require incredible ingenuity to explain and help people with, much more than any internet radio or music source. Internet radio broadcasts will become hugely popular whenever the internet is as reliable and available as radio waves.
