If you’re into Frappring and Lovespirals, come join the brand new Lovespirals Fans Frappr map! Maybe I’ll add this logo thingee to the corner of the site later on, but for now, it’ll be lurking here in the blog. Oh yes, and while you’re at it, why not check out The Chillcast Frappr map, as well?
I spent a little bit too much time uploading photos into both maps, btw… I just couldn’t stand looking at all the white space in the Slide widget, so I filled it up! I especially like the Chillcast one. Makes me feel chill just looking at it.
Lovespirals have just released a cover of Pink Floyd’s song, “Welcome of the Machine,” from their classic 1975 album, Wish You Were Here. The song was recorded as a contribution to the 2nd NPF tribute collection, Vol. 2: Return of the Sons of Neptune. This 3-disc set is available for free download in SHN format via the torrent area of this Pink Floyd fan group’s site: neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk. You will need to create a (free) account for access to the torrent, but it is well worth it if you are a fan of the Floyd. Otherwise, you can simply download a 192k mp3 of Lovespirals’ track at myspace.com.lovespirals, for a limited time. Enjoy!
UPDATE! Many years later, the band have made this track available on their Soundcloud page for free download in glorious 256k mp3 format. The NPF site took down their torrent ages ago due to pressure from Pink Floyd’s legal team (BOO!)
