SkreemR

You may have noticed that I like to back up my music blogging with sample tracks embedded into the blog. Although I can't really comment on the legality of this, I do know who I can blame if I'm in the wrong. Skreemr,is essentially the Google (which we've established is a genius) of mp3s and just individual song tracks in general. You simply enter what you're looking for into the search field and the resulting tracks (if available) will populate in order by their audio quality. From there you may play the track through skreemr's site, embed the track in a blog, or supposedly download the track to your computer. I've surprisingly not yet tried that.

Skreemr can do all of this because they don't host any of the music through their service. They simply scour the web for freely available mp3s hosted on various music blogs and websites. You'll find that it has a very user friendly interface, and I especially love how it positions itself as a search engine for rare songs and single tracks rather than a competitor to other peer to peer file sharing networks. That should at least keep it afloat for a few years before the RIAA comes knocking.

Today's track comes simply as a testament to Skreemr as an indicator of how far we've come since the days of Napster. It comes also in defiance of God's will, so far as Lars Ulrich is concerned. Here's a rare good, new Metallica song, the new single The Day That Never Comes (let yourself listen at least to the dueling guitars starting at around 5:40):
