Yeah, I found it because I'd heard what I guess is the only other release on the label, Franticdiagnosis by the guitarist George Freeman, which is definitely one of the more insane "jazz-funk" albums in existence. Solid label!

You all know how to download basically any album ever for free, right? It's really easy.

No?

LOL. Same. I use torrents a lot, but most of the more obscure stuff is hard to come by. Failing that, "Google + album title + blogspot + rar zip," then click through the minefields till I've found something?

This became a lot more difficult four years ago or something.  Too many dead links now.

For a while I was on a private torrent tracker for more obscure albums, but got banned for being unable to maintain a non-shitty ratio.

I've been relying on the program Soulseek for pretty damn close to 100% of all music downloads for a while now.  The Mac client I had years ago got all buggy and unusable, so I didn't bother for a long time, but tried out a new one after the private torrent site thing was no longer an option.  I've only ever heard of it through various SOMB posters circa the mid-'00s, oddly...most of whom were PC users, I'm pretty sure. But this version of the program has been running on my Mac just spiffily.

Yeah, Soulseek is the way. Since 2004, for me!

Though I've had a lot of trouble with the newer builds of the latest client. Still haven't quite figured out what went wrong. I'd recommend a PC build from before June of last year, but who knows? Maybe it's just me.

The only thing I've ever not found on Soulseek was some song by The Monks which was released on cassette in an edition of like six copies and possibly/probably does not even exist.

Some dude on slsk has been downloading 1.5TB of music off me for the last year. I'm presuming he clicked "download folder" on a single file.

I kind of admire his refusal to fix/admit he made the mistake.

must take a couple of hours to index that shit every time he opens the client

Oh fuck. I am going to listen to a lot of Funkadelic albums

so a PC/Windows 10 user should DL which version of Slsk?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think that the most recent version would probably be fine. My recent issues have been real (and they're driving me nuts, for sure), but I think that they're very much the exception to the rule. And the rule is that Soulseek works really well for pretty much everybody.

Seriously the first time I've had any kind of problem in like 12 years. So even for me, the Soulseek batting average remains at .900+.

Not the actual cassette or MFSL CD, mind you.

I'm most into this Joe Walsh album, although "Move Around" and "She Swallowed It" are choice cuts, among others.

I am not.

all his own productions...best thing from the Giegling camp since the Kettenkarussell album a couple of years back.

His EP from earlier this year is beautiful too.

Wonderful of Gizmodo to work so hard to ruin Soulseek. Terrific.

I remember being so gutted in 2007 when we went to Japan for 5 weeks so I left my computer on to improve my Oink ratio and two days after we left they busted the fucker

Wait, so is Soulseek gone?

My reading is that attention from Gawker Media will lead to its downfall shortly.

Kinda greedy to ask for another one of those imho.

A man can dream, can't he? I'll even take individual songs of a similar quality, at this point. I tried to listen to that Taylor Swift album. That's a mistake I can't ever undo. Courageously unbearable.
