Announcing IndieRiver.net: Our Bootleg Trading Service! July 6

Filed under Site Announcements by Geof F. Morris | 2 comments

We here at [derekwebb.net] are excited and pleased to announce IndieRiver.net, our BitTorrent-based bootleg trading service! Simply put, we’re using BitTorrent to help us share bootlegs across the Internet. If you need a tutorial on how to do all that, check out Mark Smiley’s HOWTO on downloading bootlegs with BitTorrent and processing them into MP3s and what-not over on squarepegalliance.net.

I will be sharing all the Derek shows that I’ve taped and received in trade over the next few days; I already have a show I taped back in 2003 [in the old house show days ;)] up on IndieRiver. If you ever grabbed the MP3 I posted of Sandra singing “The High Countries” up on Ragamuffin, this is from that show … so you know that the sound is really good.

So take a moment and sign up for IndieRiver: keeping you downstream.

    There appears to be some sort of web site bug. At the bottom of each page here I’m seeing:

    songs
    We’ve somehow managed to stuff everything we know about each of derek’s songs onto this site for your reading enjoyment

    I Want a Broken Heart

    words and music by: derek webb
    appears on: I See Things Upside Down

    lyrics:

    I’ve got faith in the bank and money in my heart
    I’ve got a calloused place where your ring used to be, my love
    I’ve traded naked and unashamed
    For a better place to hide
    For a righteous mask, a suit of fig leaves and lies

    chorus 1:
    I thought the cattle on a thousand hils
    Was not enough to pay my bills
    And I fell in love with those who proved me wrong
    And now I want a broken heart

    Now there’s a great pad lock
    On the place where I was free
    And I’m feeling bad from swallowing that key
    Now I work real hard but I mostly call in sick
    Of a broken back from the ground fighting back at me

    chorus 2:
    I cannot look you in the eye
    So I check the knots on my disguise
    ‘Cause I fell in love with fashion in the dark
    And now I want a broken heart

    chorus 3:
    I’ve got alibis for every crime
    A substitute to do my time
    ‘Cause Your heart breaks enough on both our parts
    So now I want a broken heart
    Now I want a broken heart
    Now I want a broken heart

    Also, are the places where someone without access to iTunes can download
    the podcasts, bootlegs, etc.?

    Thanks for the heads up, Larry.

    iTunes isn’t needed to download bootlegs from IndieRiver, and there are several podcasting clients available. What kind of machine are you running?
