GADGET:Archived iTunes Top100 One Year Ago

 
 Another cool gadget that I really dig is posting the iTunesTop10
archive,weekly.Last year,I started collecting the chart data,from
Windpowersports(personally,the most accurate source) and now its
coming in really helpful.It's still updated daily,but I could only
access it on a weekly basis,last year.I'm posting the Top20,only,cos'
my fingers could just give in if I typed the full 100 positions.I'm
updating it weekly on the sidebar.So check it out every week to see
how much influence new digital downloads have on artists in the
popular music scene.

DW Website Of The Week:Free Downloads at ToxicWap.com

ToxicWap
Here's the first addition to my list of favorite download websites.I know of about 60 download sites - music,films,etc.I'll be reviewing all the sites,before the end of this year,and then give you a list of my Top60 DW sites.It's what we all want:Free music,nevertheless,free downloads.I discovered it on a friends cellphone,2 months ago,while surfing trough her mu-play list and I saw they were downloaded from ToxicWap.com.After visiting the site,I learned its owned by one Leon.It is also one of those one-click hosting/free file download sites,where no sign-up is required.It not only offers music downloads,but also Games,YouTube videos,Image,E Books and its easy&convenient to navigate.I've dw'd a couple of games to my cell,including a very addictive SuperMario.But,mostly,I go there for music dwloads.Dude,I've downloaded over hundred songs and still got lists in every genre,full of songs I still gotta get.It's unlimited,but you're better off downloading stuff to a portable music device,such as iPod,mp3/4 player via a USB cable,rather than directly your cellphone,because your airtime will fly out the window(especially when dw'ing songs).After all,it is all about free music saving you moolah.I now only dw tunes to my mp4 player,from an internet cafe,here in Stellenbosch.It saves me money,'cos bandwidth charges are a lot when you're doing it at your own expense.At Netopia Internet Cafe,where they don't charge for bandwidth usage.The site offers various play lists,mainly focused on hip-hop,but you can search for by navigating:Homepage,Mp3,Search,then search for any tunes,but remember to leave spaces between titles.Then click on a song to download or save it.Another download site is,Playwap,unless the porn ads don't scarezou off.This is just one of many other download sites I know of,therefore this month is focused on Download Sites.Fun dw'ing!

2010 52nd GRAMMY's:The Winners And My Predictions

Home
The Grammy Awards are the foremost important award event for the
musical arts industry.With over 100 categories,it showcases and
praises the best of the stack.Sometimes,The Academy makes irrelevant
awarding and nominating choices,but in the end we're all fans and who
doesn't want a gold gramophone statuette.Here are what would have
being my choices for this years winners.Even though I'm a bit late -
the ceremony took place on January 31st - I thought I'd give you an
insight as to who I think stole the limelight in '09.With some I
agree,others not so much.My choices are in BOLD,the actual winner's
are listed first.We'll work our way from the overall important
categories,down to the alternative,but very relevant ones.
