Song of the day - Sunday Edition

Pitt

Today we have Ghost Town from The Specials, yet another Brit band. I first heard this when watching the movie Snatch, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. There's just something about English humor that I really like. Brad Pitt appears as the nearly incomprehensible "gybbo", Mickey. His performance is simply brilliant, in a brilliant movie. The movie is directed by Guy Ritchie, who also directed a favorite movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Speaking of Brad Pitt (one of my fav actors), he's just seperated from his wife, Jennifer Aniston. For a number of years, they looked like the couple that would buck the Hollywood stereotype of a shallow marriage doomed to failure. So much for that notion. I guess when you can have anybody in the world you want, it's hard to stay with just one person.

I'll be posting music from a lot of different genres. Some you'll like, some you'll think is crap. All I ask is you listen with an open mind.

Okay, Tom...So how do you Do That Thing and link the song on your site? I have been using song titles as inspiration for my blogs and would be interested in allowing my simple mind to expand into unknown areas of Progressive Blogging. Let me know if you have the time.
Thanks

I could do that, but then your blog would be as cool as mine, and we can't have that! :)

What you do is put your song.mp3 on a web site someplace. You also put a file called song.m3u there as well. The song.m3u file is a text file containing a link to the mp3 file. The last song I posted has an m3u file with the text
http://t.hackett99.home.comcast.net/mus/ghosttown.mp3

I just use notepad to create and edit the .m3u file.

Then, on your blog, you link to the m3u file, which in turn links to the mp3 and it'll stream when a user clicks it. It's really simple.

I doubt the RIAA would be happy with this, but.. I'm so small time that it shouldn't matter. Hope that helps..

Umm.. I was making a joke.. Right after the part where I said I wouldn't tell you how to do it, I told you how to do it...

My sense of humor is weird sometimes..
