I'm finding more and more new music through MP3 blogs (actually, often it's new to me, but old music from a chronological perspective). I suspect others are too.

Apologies if it's been done before, but I'd imagine a call out to the word, ahem, massive, will bring forth a cavalcade of delights.

Here are three from me:

Utterly fantastic 60s 70s funk obsessive who rips from crackly vinyl.

Audio Out: ex rave scenester posts old 12 inches

Twighlight Zone - entire out of print rockabilly, garage punk, funk etc.

I could go on, but won't. I want to hear yours.

My friend Mark and I often amused ourselves by solving some of Rock's dillemas - normally by envisaging Rock Cops cracking the case in a Sun Hill-esque "nick" complete with flip charts and squeaky marker pens. Here are some from the SOLVED file. Please feel free to contribute.

CASE 1: THIN LIZZY - JAILBREAK
DILLEMMA: "Tonight there's going to be a Jailbreak - somewhere in this town"
SOLUTION: The Jail? It's not going to be Halfords now, is it?

CASE 2: THE CLASH - SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?
An easy one this. If he goes there will be trouble. If he stays there will be double. Therefore he should stay. End of.

There were some others, but happily, I don't remember them.

Would anybody agree with the statement that sometimes world class moments of art are often bi-products of bad ideas, poorly translated?

I submit this as evidence.
