Do yourself a favour

Listen to Kate Miller-Heidke. Now I want to go on record stating that I do not condone illegal file sharing and software piracy.

For that reason, I am not going to suggest that anyone download, for free, and install a product such as Limewire or Bearshare. I am also going to recommend that you do not search under the music category using the string 'kate miller-heidke'.

And under no circumstances should anyone attempt to use this method to obtain a recording of practically any song ever written. That would be unethical.

So, as I was saying, you should (legally) obtain a copy of Kate Miller-Heidke's new album. 'Little Eve'. It's really quite brilliant. Easy listening. A little quirky.

But also. You should search (not in the search engine sense, of course) for a song entitled 'Career Advice'. It was originally entitled 'Australian Idol', but in the interest of avoiding legal action, she changed it on advice from another well known entity, whose name shall remain anonymous.

I don't really like contemporary music. I think I am verging on that age where modern music sounds like noise. But I am still always searching for a new sound that I want to listen to over and over again. Every now and then I find one. The last one I found was a guy named iOTA. Brilliant musician and you should also obtain his music by any means that does not involve downloading software.

Now it's Kate. Give her a listen. Not for me. Not for her. Do it for you.
