Greetings Buffalo Billycan. Either you or someone else requested that I add your blog to the Digital Meltd0wn Music Blogroll @ http://music-bloggers.blogspot.com
I'm trying to put together the most comprehensive list of music blogs which feature out of print or otherwise unavailable music, as well as those which share podcasts, or sample mp3 files. I've categorized them so that you can easily find exactly what you are looking for.
If you would like to help me out, you can do so by linking back to my blog. Although it isn't required in order to be listed, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all the hard work and time that goes into maintaining this blog, and especially for the fantastic music you share. Take care.

hello!
thanks for this Formyula! Any chance of share that item that GE offers? 2 on 1? Will be great!!!
I haven't heard Fourmyula yet, but I did see a list of the top 100 NZ tracks of all time and one of the tracks that's on this compilation was either #1 or #2.
