Deezer.com, formerly Blogmusik.net

Geez, am I among the last person on this planet to know about this cool site? From Wikipedia, Deezer.com, formerly known as Blogmusik.net, is a French free Internet-based music-on-demand service. Deezer offers on-demand ad-supported streaming in a similar manner to imeem.com, with a portion of the ad revenue being delivered to content partners. The site has been the center of some controversy, with record companies such as Universal alleging that the service "illegally" hosts copyrighted material. Deezer, on the other hand, claim that their agreements with SACEM, a French organization similar to the US-based RIAA, allow them to host the disputed content. It offers FREE music and the several songs I played sound like the full versions. No gimmicks at all. There is a banner ad on top of the page but that is hardly obtrusive. In return for viewing this ad, I get free music - I think this is a rocking good deal! Though there is a registration button, I was able to listen to the songs without registering (or having to log in). So check out Deezer if you have not already. ^^ PS.: I got wind of this site via this article which you might wish to check out too - "9 Outrageously Handy Websites Everyone Should Try".

Satisfy your nostalgia at TelevisionTunes.com

Feeling nostalgic? Well, we all do at one time or another. If you are missing a particular TV theme song that sparked off certain memory, check out TelevisionTunes.com . Here, you will find tons of TV theme music and songs from yesterday and today. Browse its huge archive of 3,589 (and growing) theme songs and the best part is that you can even choose to download them in mp3 format. Disclaimer: I am *not* sure whether what this site is doing is legal. According to its copyright information page, "All themes and Clips are copyrighted by their licensors and are intended for educational and personal listening only. These are not to be used for commercial or other non-educational use without permission of the copyright holder (licensor). They are NEVER to be sold or traded for items of value. This site does not own the music and cannot grant permission for any commercial use. This archive is a result of private collectors of historic television placing their private collections for all to share in remembering the various shows of the past and present and discussing their views on the subject of the music and the series involved. There will not be entire copies of CDs found on this site at any time. The music here is in a lower quality than a CD, and is considered a 'sample' of the music should you choose to buy the CD. If you wish better quality then please check with your local Music Store for a CD that might have that song on it and buy it." I have highlighted the more "important" phrases that the site owner has used to try to cover his arse. I do hope that TelevisionTunes.com manages to pull this off and stay clear of copyright infringement suits. After all, this is a handy site to have around for music lovers. Another feature of the site is its "Name that Theme Song" game. It's a real cool game if you feel up to the challenge. There are both the 1-player and 2-player modes and you can play 10 to 30 rounds each time. During each round, a song will play and a timer will start. You have to identify the song from 4 available options. Enjoy! ^^

Do you ever get tired of the Lemon Tree?

I have always enjoyed the version of "Lemon Tree" sang by Fool's Garden . I have their original CD which I bought at a real bargain. But, I still quite like this youtube version that is spiced up with very interesting pictures by mikemillenium17 . Check it out below. I hope you enjoy it as much as me. ^^ And here's the lyrics for those who want to sing along. =) (I took it from www.lyrics007.com .) I'm sitting here in the boring room It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you But nothing ever happens and I wonder I'm driving around in my car I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far I'd like to change my point of view I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you But nothing ever happens and I wonder I wonder how I wonder why Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree I'm turning my head up and down I'm turning turning turning turning turning around And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree I'm sitting here I miss the power I'd like to go out taking a shower But there's a heavy cloud inside my head I feel so tired Put myself into bed Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder Isolation is not good for me Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy Baby anyhow I'll get another toy And everything will happen and you wonder I wonder how I wonder why Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree I'm turning my head up and down I'm turning turning turning turning turning around And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree And I wonder, wonder I wonder how I wonder why Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see Is just a yellow lemon-tree
