Listen to ANY Song, ANY Time, TOTALLY legally, and FREE!

Downloading ‘mp3s’ has been a touchy subject in the eyes of the law, and even more in the eyes of music industry mogals since the launch of the now famous ‘Napster’ file sharing program.

The industry have tended to take the good old corporate approach by bitching to the high courts about it whilst doing pretty much jack s**t to find a way for people to still use technology to enjoy music… oh no, wait – iTunes – how the hell did I forget about that one! THANKS APPLE! Thanks to your AMAZINGLY SUPER-TRENDO service – with those funky adverts you have that make us feel all trendy for listening to our iPods! Thanks to you guys, I can now pay money and by the same old albums that I already had to pay for on Vinyl, Eight Track, Cassette, CD, MiniDisc and Hey! not forgetting that must-have ‘digitally remastered’ DVD of my favourite band in concert! hmmm…. I think you get my point….

I wanna make it clear though, crystally clear, that downloading material, pirating and profiting from it should be clamped down on. It makes sense – if someone is reproducing material and making money out of it when they don’t have permission to – they need to be taken down and given a good lesson.

However, you and me; ‘the average Joe’ who have just had that annoyingly catchy ‘MIA:Paper Planes’ beat stuck in our heads all morning and just wanna hear it once more, are currently not able to do so because unless you can justify paying money for a song you dont want – there aren’t many options for you left out there!

Time to sit by the Radio all day in case it might come on? Or maybe an afternoon flicking through all the advert-ridden MTV channels in the hope you might catch the end of that song you can’t shake?

Don’t think so! So what do you do?

What’s become popular on the internet in recent times are websites offering to play you streamed music of your ‘choice.’ Most of these, such as ‘Jango‘ don’t let you play what you want, when you want – they just let you give them the ’style’ of music you are looking for and it will play a selection from that – all very good, and a lot of these are great for discovering new bands, artists and songs that you like – but it doesn’t solve our ‘I need to hear this song right now!’ problem!

Thats where this nifty little site we’ve found comes in handy – It’s called ‘Songza’ and has been branded as ‘The Google of Music’ and you can see why – the page hits you like a colourful Google for starters, and from then it’s what you see is what you get – whack a song title or band or whatever the hell you want and hit go! from their you can listen and share songs for other users – without the need to download anything or pay a penny! Check it out here!

The new Google? Hahahah hahahah hahaha

Just when you thought you might be getting the hang of the big G, a disgruntled former employee only goes and sets up his only rival search engine!

Ohhhhhhhhh techno scandal…. you love it!

‘Cuil’, (ancient Irish for knowledge i’ll have you know) declares it has the largest index on earth and that they offer a new search function for an every changing internet.

Sounds promising hey? Except after launching itself online, via all the correct marketing channels and funding itself with a sizable pile of gold, it only went and bloody crashed. Yes, imagine if Google crashed on you? No… Not possible is it?

Cuil may talk the talk and my god it might even walk …a little bit. But taking on Google and the algorithm of website doom? Thats just madness.

Don’t think much of the logo either….

Photography – ‘Got Air?’

‘Got Air?’

A fast paced action shot of a nutter and his motor cross bike, getting some serious air!

Location – The sticks.

To take this shot:

You will need: Some patience to ignore the rubbish shots you will take trying to establish settings, functional eyelids to evade mud & grit surprises, a crazy stunt man with his CC’s!

Banksy aka Robin Gunningham = Lame

Well, apparently, street art guru and general trendo mystery Banksy, is not so much of a mystery any more.

Thanks in part to a spazztastic newspaper we have here in the UK, anyone who cares on this rainy little island will now know that Banksy aka guerrilla graffiti god is no other than Mr Robin Gunningham from Bristol…

WOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHH!

This is so not news worthy, in fact it’s so boring I’d rather read every bio of every contestant on this years Big Brothe… ok no I’m being dramatic, but this is still super dull…. But for some unknown reason people have been going mad about this. Seriously there are chat rooms and forums dedicated to this topic right now, discussing to ad nausium the who’s, the whats, the wheres and the whys -

“How could they out Banksy?” erm. who cares?

“Apparently hes middle class” oh god no, not middle class.

“Banksy is such a hypocrite selling his work for millions when he’s meant to be for the people” Nope. Just smart. If Brangelina wanna spend a 3rd world countries GDP on a bit of canvas and some spray paint then who’s the fool here really guys?

I particularly enjoyed this response:

“Spray painting other peoples property, without their permission, is vandalism. It hardly matters to the victim (for all you trendy lefties out there, that’s the property owner who has to pay the clean up costs) whether the creep responsible was lower, middle or upper class.”

Meh! This is dull and we’ve heard it all before, miserable it may be, this gimp might actually have a point, but will we let him have it? neeeeeeveeeeerrrrrrr.

It’s a standard fact that Banksy is cool, if you don’t agree? Then well you’re wrong… and a mega ‘tard. We can’t be bothered to explain why he is cool. You’re so late to this party.

So just in case you care, here’s some good old examples of ‘vandalism’ for you to discuss to death. Enjoy.

007:Quantum of Solace HD Trailer

007:Quantum of Solace

Here at Green i Design we are strong followers of the James Bond series and we were excited when we found this little gem on youtube. Its a HD trailer for the latest addition to the series, entitled “007:Quantum of Solace.”

Thanks to the uploader, this trailor is in fantastic HD quality so you get to see all the action in clear detail – and by the looks of it, action isn’t gonna be tough to come by. In the new film, Daniel Craig a.k.a James Bond is seeking revenge for the death of his love and sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country’s water supply – all in an average days work for 007, eh!

We think the new film looks brilliant and can’t wait for the November 7th release date. What do you think? Let us know your opinions!

Let the video buffer fully before watching as its well worth the wait!
