    articolo31I’m probably not the first one to claim this, but alternate covers seems to be the best way to discover new music and artists. Simply google / youtube / deezer any song u like, and check out the results for artists other than the original group or singer.

    It might b someone u never heard of – but they like the same song (and artist) u like, so u are off to a good start :)

    The subtle art of making a good (or even great) cover, is amazingly intricate, IMHO, and deserve a post in its own right (but im too lazy, let some music blogger do that, in fact they probably have already…).

    Now all that was said above, could also be claimed true regarding remixes (as 1 could claim they are a form of ‘cover’).

    With that in mind, check out this Like a Rolling Stone remix by Articolo 31, simply called Come Una Pietra Scalciata

    Not exactly the old Dylan grooves, right?

    One of the last free Internet radio services available for us, non-US web users.

    Ever since they banned us form US based internet radio, it seemed that our only hope is the last.fm web radio.

    Last.fm is all good and well, but if you want to seek albums & tracks and hear them right-away, Deezer.com is your place!

    Although mac browsing support is kind of limited (the deezer site seems to love IE most of all), Firefox will run it etiquettely.

    They also provide a flash based exportable player that u can code-paste in any social net or blog. Example here:

    Enjoy…
