Carbon/Silicon

Motivated to post for the first time in ages, thanks to Carbon/Silicon: the new "supergroup" fronted by Tony James and Mick Jones. If the last thing you remember of Tony James is his MSX bowler hat and frightwig from the Sigue Sigue Sputnik days, take a look here: now he looks like a cross between Barefoot Doctor and Tony Robinson. You can download an MP3 of Niteclub Etiquette here. Sounds like a pub band doing BAD. The lyrics are rite-on though (ahem):

i believe in MP3
i believe in P2P
i just burnt my own CD
the day the music was free......
in the 21st century - the day the music was free!....

I believe in P 2 P..............supersharers...
A billion downloads can't be wrong...
A billion people heard my song....
So, Goodbye Mr Copyright...
the fame will keep me up all night..

I just surfed right down your street
sampled your tune, borrowed your beat
that's the way the bytes go round
they make the revolution sound...

Shakespeare, Michael Angelo
Had no corporation Hos
Def to majors, their lawyers suck
Now people don't give a fuck!

in the 21st century -
the day the music was free!....

AaaaaaaH, save KaZaa.....
