Last night I tried to link my "current music" to a blog with the MP3, but it didn't work, and now the MP3 is GONE. (Turns out the RSS feed takes two weeks to get to my friends page.) And the CD is a $40 import.

But here's my point: Go read about "Cyclic", and then if it sounds interesting go watch the video, which is endearingly early-MTV in its production values. You'll need Flash and either Windows Media or Real Media. Sorry, it's the best I can do.
