Free Music

I know I know. It sounds like a really bad subject for some crappy MILF-bus-tibetan-pr0n spewing from Thunderbird. Don't get me wrong, I love to play "Browse the junk folder" as much as the next guy but this is something different and no, I'm not asking you to install some virus laden garbage like Kazaa on your sys. This is the real deal. (note to self: write rant about girlfriend installing crapware like PrintShop on my uber gaming rig and likely filling the entire file structure full of crap)

The Columbia University Music Lab is doing a pretty cool study. The basic premise goes something like this:

"Britney Spears sucks really bad, why is she so damn famous 'cause honest, she ain't that hot neither."

So as any acadmeic having such a quandry before them would, they are giving away free music in an effort to figure out wtf the general public is thinking. It might sound wierd at first but remember this sort of high brow "wtf is that" thinking has been going on since at least the '50's.

Drop on over and help these grad students answer the most important question of the modern age, namely, why do we actually pay for the garbage the RIAA wraps in celophane?
