**NEW web address alert**

We're now broadcasting from www.themightychew.com, so please update your internet girls and boys. Re-wire your Google-page and e-web downloads stat, because this Twit-feeder is going to be ripping up your Face-Space portal imminently. Web 4.0 coming your way in Y2K!

Right, onto the normal stuff...



You need Spotify in your life, if you don't have it already. Not just to play the (very slightly kitsch and embarrasing) playlist I just compiled of all the tracks that were No 1 on my birthday from 1971 to 2009, but also just because you need Spotify.

1. Times are hard. You need free stuff. Spotify is free music. What better combination could you wish for than free stuff that makes you forget the fact that times are hard? Exactly. Triple yay!
2. They have a lot of good stuff. Complete discographys of some labels. All the big names (bar Pink Floyd I've just discovered)
3. You can unplug your headphones so you don't have to listen to the (actually quite infrequent) adverts.
4. You can create playlists, which you either keep to yourself and load up even when you run Spotify on a different computer, OR, you can mail those playlists to other people.
5. If you liked my birthday playlist, give it a score here.

I read somewhere that Spotify is one of a slew of new web-apps that are set to herald a move away from 'ownership' towards true and proper on-demand access to shared media. Like I say, there are adverts unfortunately, so it's not all chocolate coated roses delivered by the naked model\actor of your choosing just yet, but it'll do until they arrive.

So, fancy a boogie? Here's "4 for the floor" from me. Why not post your own "4 for the floor" playlist URL in the Comments and we can all have a laugh, er, boogie.

"Pretty young things, repeat after me..."

How exciting! Your very own slice of the web. A URL to call your very own. I trust the move in process was smooth and painless.

On the topic of spotify - if only the record companies would get over their xenophobia and allow cross-border sharing of content. Everyone knows that it's all really about them wanting to enforce differential pricing in each market. People can figure out how to get around it anyway if they so choose - and I have just started using a little app called Simplify Media to share my own diverse music collection with friends and family across the interweb.
