Ralph,
I likes this way back when.

Hello, your blog is very interesting but I would like to know why you put tracks on-line only for a week and then erase them. Already you do a 32 kb bitrate... which are just an example with a quality so bad ... but why remove them? And 'maybe to make the blog more cool?

Question,
I provide the link to yousendit so you have a higher kb bitrate than the MP3 from Hipcast gives you. I am not too savvy so I use Hipcats which is easy to use. With the MP3's from there, I pay a monthly fee based on the number of downloads. To leave it up for long would cost me money I don't care to spend.

When I first started this blog, the advice from other music bloggers was not to leave the music up too long, a week was the average.

Trenet wrote the lyrics of "La Mer" on the train in 1943 while travelling along the French Mediterranean coast, returning from Paris to Narbonne, supposedly in ten minutes, on toilet paper supplied by SNCF. He was assisted with the tune by Leo Chauliac. It was originally published by Raoul Breton. It was not until 1946 that Trenet recorded the song.

English lyrics, unrelated to the French lyrics, were later written by Jack Lawrence and entitled "Beyond the Sea". This became a hit for Bobby Darin in 1960, and the song has since been recorded by more than 400 other artists in many languages.

sblake,
That this was originally in French surprised me but the toilet paper made me laugh!

I remember the Darin version, but I always liked this one.
