A better search engine than Google for mp3

That's right Skreemr it's one of the greatest search engines available today, just google search for a mp3 listen with the integrated flash player and if you want just "save link as" to download the mp3. Simple and useful.

Also found these little great thing called twofifty that's let's check how much recent american crap (not talking about Batman) you have to see from the imdb's 250 top to have seen it all.

Now, after the best, my "altogether list"

#60's
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

#70's
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

#80's
Michael Jackson - Billy Jean
Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died in your Arms tonight
AHA - Take on me
Kate Bush - Army Dreamers
Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a Place on Earth
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Miami Sound Machine - dr beat

On focus:
Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora - When the rain begins to fall (big focus becaus this one contains a lot of elements from this kind of 80's videos together in just one. The rival gangs, the exotic aesthetics, till that motorcycle dude the beat is strong and constant from the start to the end, and an silly history of a romance HYPER MEGA STRONG that will beat everything and everyone. If you had to reconstruct all the 80's videos from just one video, this could be the one to pick).

Duran Duran - Wild Boys

#90's
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
Radiohead - karma police

On focus:
Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit
Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

#00's (zerothies)
Royksopp - Remind Me
Royksopp - What Else Is There?


On focus:
Vitalic - Poney Part 1 (I think are rare the videos that melt so well with music like this one, that means, I couldn't see this music connected with another video other than this one)

unofficial
Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre ete : L'apres midi

movie soundtracks
Roy Orbison - In Dreams (Blue Velvet)

Last.fm for movies

Well, I've been looking for a kind of last.fm but for movies. Found some interesting sites but this one got my choice http://www.flixster.com/

It allows you to compare your taste with your friends and also recommends you movies based on what you liked. Like last.fm also works as a specific social community.

If you don't know what last.fm is, I can tell you briefly that it counts what you hear on your player (winamp, itunes, etc etc) and provides charts, music recommendations, taste comparison with your friends, free downloads...

My small tribute to Elliott Smith: King's Crossing

Live video where Eliott sings it so passionately :')



This song can be found in "From a Basement on the Hill".
Besides the beauty of the lyric the instrumental part is also fabulous.
