Welcome
W
elcome to the Digital Meltd0wn Music Blog. I started this blog, and the Digital Meltd0wn Music Blogroll for several reasons. The main reason being to pay tribute to the countless artists and bands who do not, and probably never will, get the recognition that they deserve due in part to the current state of the music industry. I also plan to share albums that are currently out of print, released for free, or were never available for purchase to begin with. I also hope to interact with you fellow music lovers, and in the process get introduced to artists that I wouldn't have heard about otherwise.
Please keep in mind that the majority of the musicians and the labels that they are signed to, are not mainstream, and therefore they are not wealthy. It is not my goal to hurt any artists or labels, so if you like something that you find here, please support the artist by purchasing their material afterwards. If you are an artist/label and would prefer that your material be removed from this blog, simply leave me a comment, and I would be more than happy to comply by promptly removing the offending post.
In addition to running this blog, I also work on a few other projects during my spare time. You can find links to those, as well as a few other important links relating to this blog below.

TheLastRipper
-
I discovered this very useful tool via lifehacker It's called TheLastRipper and basically what it does is connect to your last.fm account, and rip the streams and album art to the folder of your choice. That was enough to convince me, however this little tool is actually capable of much more than just that. You can find the full list of features below. I'm sure that all you last.fm aficionados will put this tool to good use. It has proven to be a valuable tool in exploring various tag radios and genres on last.fm. I simply allow it to run and rip tracks overnight, and then easily explore a wide selection of songs from them the next day, while simply deleting the songs that I do not wish to keep.
Features:
Downloads Cover Art
Generates m3u Plalyst
Organizes mp3s into folders
Records streams to mp3 files

Digital Meltd0wn on Twitter
After hearing constant buzz about the phenomena known as Twitter, I've finally decided to give it a try. When I first read about Twitter, I thought it was a useless idea, as I'm sure many others have. However, I noticed a few users who were able to put the service to good use by being original, and I thought perhaps I could do the same. At the moment I'm only using it to post updates to my blog, but if enough people are interested in following me on Twitter, I will eventually incorporate other ideas. Of course if no one is interested, then I will eventually abandon this idea. So without further ado, here is the Twitter page for Digital Meltd0wn:

I think Twitter can be a good way to communicate short idea/ info (as you have started off doing), but there are a lot of people posting "just picked my nose" kind of posts, too.
I've had an account for about a month, and am trying to figure out how I'll use it too.
Anyhum... I'm following you on there, now.
Thanks for the feedback, and for being my first follower on Twitter. I completely agree with you. Far too many people use the service to post irrelevant/uninteresting information. I've only made a few updates, but so far I've been using it to inform people of albums that I add here, as well as the blogs that I add to the DM blogroll.
The fact that you are limited to 140? characters forces one to be creative if they expect to maintain their followers interest. Hopefully I can manage to be one of the creative few.
When I first heard about twitter i thought it was a silly idea, but i gave it a try and find it quite useful for communicating with groups of people. I have often thought Id like to see more music discussion, so im pleased youre twittering.. following too.
