Remember how I posted about Muxtape biting the dust due to RIAA interference? Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have a successor (who copies much of Mux’s coding, and completely acknowledges that fact). The rebellion continues. Please direct yourselves to this lovely little link:

Opentape.fm

This blog is in no way affiliated with Muxtape or Opentape and absolutely thinks the RIAA is doing a great job cracking down on dirty pirates. You should never share your music with anyone and mixtapes are a horrible idea. Etc. You know.

Also, I would like to draw your attention to a comment left by Charles on this post, in which I commented that Pony Da Look was bringing me more hits than any other search term on the internet. That’s a pretty big deal (and the hits are still rolling in!). I guess if I keep making posts like this …

Well, anyway, Charles here wrote me a review of the band’s record called Shattered Dimensions and I post it here for your viewing pleasure. It’s hilarious.

Here is a review for your blog of what Pony Da Look’s “Shattered Dimensions” sounds like:

You walk into a pub lit by torchlight and candles, and decorated with electronics from a surplus store. Somebody is slamming rhythmically on a jukebox, causing it to skip back and forth through distorted segments of some of Martin Gore’s earlier compositions for Depeche Mode. While this insistent sound fills the air, a bar-room brawl erupts between Loreena McKennitt and X-Ray Spex, who chant taunts at each other from either side of the room, as the tables are cleared aside and the other patrons stamp their bony feet as they begin the first of the many frenzied dances…

Bravo, Charles.
