Sometimes, I get bored and play my acoustic guitar to told 90s rap and hip-hop acapella tracks.
Sometimes, I record it.
Angry music calms me down.
Acoustic music calms me down.
Music calms me down.
I like that.
I like music. I like to know what the words are, most of the time. The problem is that if you don’t have the CD case handy you’re stuck relying on the Internet — and most lyrics sites are horrible.
So an old c-worker of mine, Anton, and I have been trying to make a light-weight, no pop-up ads, no flashy ads, no distractions, no mis-leading links, text-only lyrics site.
It’s not completely done yet, but a lot of the data is there and I figured I’d get some traffic going there. We have over 18,096 artists and 440,532 songs, with more being added all the time.
Link Right Lyrics (an LR2 site)
Doing so is not intended to be a mass organization of music piracy but, rather, one single display of the consumptive power of the mash-up and home remix community in the hopes of encouraging the labels, publishers and artists who are curious about the mash-up community to consider giving the high quality productions of “illegitimate” music a legitimate consideration as a promotional avenue for all music.
