@MetalheadGautham I've heard of the band. Didn't know their music was free. Will have a look and consider. In chit-chat, I actually said we should listen to local music, not lesser known bands, but the point is still taken.
Glad to hear that you are considering including Betallica. But here are a few pointers from my side about that band:
1. Songs are in two formats - full and radio edit. RE version has certain *unfriendly* words cut out. Give both if you can, or give the full version. Please don't give only the radio edit.
2. Their two albums, "A Garage Dayz Nite" and "Betallica" (AKA The Grey Album) together occupy 54MB of space on my HDD (uncensored version). Surely something which won't pinch your Dual Layer DVD ? The media is 128kbps mp3 and it would be great if you also give album cover art in the DVD.
3. A very intresting thing is happening in the music scene. It was Metallica who shut down napster, the once upon a time popular music sharing service. But now, when Sony, who own beatles song rights, sued Betallica over use of beatles songs, it was metallica's Lars Ulrich, known as Lar$ in the napster days, who came to betallica's rescue with metallica's own lawyer. He says that there is a difference between distributing studio albums and distributing bootleg recordings (
metallica gives their pre 2004 bootlegs on their own website - for free, and you might want to give the better sounding tracks from there - maybe I can link the good ones here when I have free time) and derivative works.
Could this be inspired to a nice and thought provoking article about what is fair and what is unfair in the music industry ? For an year end issue, it would make an awesome epic.
