Taking Bootleg-Swapping Furthur

Sponsord Links:

Furthurnet is a new file sharing network designed especially for sharing live recordings of groups that explicitly allow recording of their shows. Their user base isn’t all that big yet (so it may take a while to get what you’re looking for) but it is growing quickly. The software itself is open source and is available for download from their website or from their sourceforge project site. The interface is simple and familiar (somewhat Napster-esque) but only performs searches for groups that are in the Taper-Friendly Bandlist. The list is surprisingly large. Give it a try.

Both Rusted Root and Mike Doughty encourage the taping of their shows so I’m now downloading some of their recent live music in preparation for the show tomorrow (uh… tonight). I can’t wait!
