random finds

[drsoda]

Whenever i'm plugged into the 'net, I'm usually always skirting the edges looking for something new and interesting, more times than usual it is guitar related. I'd like to start sharing some links, and I am also open to requests if it is something specific you're looking for that you have had difficulty finding yourself. I'm an adept at e-research, trowling sites/bogs, torrents, usenet, newsgroups, library databases and more - it comes with what I do as my bread and butter.

today's randomness:
Johnny Marr's (ex-guitarist for the smiths) part in the Inception score: http://vimeo.com/18687155

Some very cool links thanks Jeremy

Yeah thanks Jeremy, we could probably do with a post of this sort of guitar related randomness It's amazing what great little 'tidbits' you can come up with with this sort of stuff. Are the last two in any breach of copyright or something though? (I'm not up with this torrent stuff but isn't it disemination of somebody else's work? ).

ahh ok.. so.. i won't post torrents again in my random linkery. I will warn everyone though, against downloading a torrent client, like for example, bittorrent http://www.bittorrent.com/. Oh, and I am definitely against all and sundry searching for 'guitar' or 'guitar making' or 'build guitar' or 'luthier' etc in sites like isohunt http://www.isohunt.com or piratebay http://www.piratebay.org. I will also add to make sure your use your discretion, made sure your anti-virus is up to date, read comments to ensure file ok-ness etc, just in case.

Unfortunately there is a plethora of 'likely to be copyrighted' material in these sorts of places that I simply can't condone you accessing at any time, even though it is made freely available for personal, non-distributable use.
