La Creme:
It's easy... just go to www.yousendit.com.
1) Put in an email adress. It doesn't matter what, just make sure it's either yours or bullshit that won't be some random person's.
2) Browse your computer for the file you want to give to people.
3) Once it's sent, copy the link that appears on the screen (not in the url bar...) and paste it here.
a pack of wolves:
And if you can't do that, then just limit yourself to tracks you can find on band and label websites or places like www.epitonic.com
Merkava:
Yousendit takes FOREVER with me for some reason. If it works for you, good. If it doesn't, follow wolve's advice.
Review, since I have Either/Or. ;P
Ballad of Big Nothing - Elliott Smith
As with most of this guy's songs, it's carried along mostly by an acoustic guitar. Though his voice is pretty weak, I won't hold it against him; that's kind of his trademark. The drumming was actually pretty nice, as it kept the beat and did some improv on the side, which is hard to do in this kind of tempo without sounding hokey, but he pulled it off to good effect. It's a classic song from a classic album.
9/10

Now, sorry about ANOTHER Mock Orange song, but this is the newer, more heartland/indie rock sound they displayed on "Mind is Not Brain" compared to the Weezer cover.

Mock Orange - "Payroll"
Simple, standard-issue indie-pop done right. Solid riff, nice little instrumental touches. The whole thing is catchy and keeps to a solid bounce despite the lazy tempo. A keeper. 8/10

Curved Air - "Metamorphosis"
WARNING: this track is a dweebgasmic 10 minute prog epic from around 1975.
Kai:
Fucking A! 70's prog! woo!
Curved Air - Metamorphisis
Alright, starts out with some piano melody thing. THen starts with a drumroll and some other instrument I can't determine. sounds like there's an organ in there too. soon enough comes in the guitar and the music starts up, with sort of a transylvanian feeling. I'm reminded of Zappa's Transylvanian Boogie song, which may help the song. Soon, some annoying British kids come in singing. or are they women? I'm not sure. Either way it kinda bugs me. Then it all later stops except for the piano. Later some lady starts singing something. She's kinda annoying too. Then the crazy organ music kicks in the song starts being awesome again. soon enough the militaristic snare drumroll starts and the tempo and mood changes. Then the kids or women start to sing again and I hate it. Seriously, fire those bastards. I'm not even listening to the lyrics, because this is Prog, and all prog lyrics are just made to make the singer look smart and sophisticated. Soon enough they stop and the piano goes into this sorta Old Western Bar Piano Honky Tonk mode. Then it ends. Not bad, just fire the women singer ladies. 7/10
EDIT: WIll have song up in a minute, however, someone can go ahead and post another song if I don't get it up before you.
