Everyone from Greenday and Billy Bragg to Martin Luther King, Jr. and from Howard Zinn and Arundhati Roy to Eminem and Willie Nelson and NOFX and Mike Malloy. Get them, get the podcast collection, make CDs, share them. Clear Channel and GE won't do it.

1. WoW

Great list of songs and speeches. I'm downloading them all now.

2. For those who don't know, downloading them all is easy.

I use Flashgot with EasyDownloadManager within Firefox, but there are many alternatives. The total is around a Gigabyte or so, if I recall correcty.

I've found 2-3 GB of freely downloadable, good, strong progressive music on the web.

A couple of my favorite individual artists who have put their work out for free are:

http://www.davidrovics.com/

3. Can you explain how to make it easy to just download everything

on the original site? Every once in awhile I hear a song leading into the radio host on AAR and say, "I WANT THAT SONG!" But I'm never sure where it came from. :)

7. If you use Firefox as a browser

you go to Tools/extension manager from the menu bar and the select "add extensions." Find the FlashGot extension and then install a download manager. At that point it is just a right-click away from getting the whole site downloaded or some part of it (like just the .mp3 files) (Easier than it sounds.)

For InternetExploiter you can try http://www.netvampire.com/ . There may be others that are better, but I don't use IE so I don't know what to recommend.

8. I've been using Firefox for awhile now.

I really like it. I've got "flashgot" and a download manager, so I should be able to do this. :) COOL! AND THANKS!

12. kick for today's crowd

Take a look. Spread the word.

[ConsAreLiars]

13. and another (n/t)

[Ladyhawk]

15. I noticed Clan Dyken is on there.

They're fairly local to me. I know the wife of one of the band members. She told me I was a natural for the local theater and that I have the voice she's always wanted. Of course, my mouth totally dropped open at hearing those remarks. :wow:

I'm listening to these songs now--the first one, to be exact: "Get Down on Your Knees"...this band sucks. They can't sing at all. Guess this will be a weeding process.

[ConsAreLiars]

16. Yup, some good, some great, some ... well, it depends on your tastes.

But ALL with their hearts in the right place, and some so brilliant that all the weeding will be well worth the time.

(And the dog in the sig is a street foundling that is probably (vet says) an American Staffordshire Terrier (aka pit bull) and the gentlest, most compassionate, smartest canine being I have ever known.)
