What more can I say!? Playing at the ULU My Vitriol rocked the house, after all it has been over a year since they played a proper gig (excluding festivals).

Rock on ;)

The great thing about streamripper is that the plugin slices the files properly and even embeds the ID3 tags. With the exception of the odd spill over from the previous track, it’s perfect! A great way of getting the latest tracks for your MP3 player.

Thanks to the above technique I’ve discovered a whole bunch of artists I would never have come across otherwise. Here are just a few examples:

  • Modest Mouse – Float On
  • OAR – Love and Memories

    • Both awesome tracks…
