What are we going to do when there are no more record shops?

Okay, iv'e just fallen in love with someone on Limewire.
I hardly ever use the 'browse host' button, but tonight i was downloading Mungo Jerry's 'In the Summertime' and i thought i'd see what kind of cat would have such a tune in his library.

I love this person! I mean this host has a virtually faultless music taste! He's got everything: all the obvious stuff like the Beatles, Beachboys, the few best Stones songs, Stevie Wonder etc. But then he's got Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Mamas and the Papas, Isley Brothers
without being ashamed to have a bit of Abba, ACE OF BASE!, the themes from Grease and Saturday Night Fever in there too. Then he's got 70's folk: Cat Stevens, Credence Clearwater Revival, America, Rod Stewart AND 70's disco- Sister Sledge, Jacksons etc.
Bit of Weezer, Fugees 'Ready or Not'; the (Dirty) version of 'Don Cha' by the Pussycat Dolls.
The only track that grated was a Shania Twain song, but i'm not above being won over if the right person had an argument for that being good.
He's also got TV themes including the theme tune from Charlie Brown and Snoopy, and Bart and Michael Jackson sing Happy Birthday Lisa!!!!! GSOH, no need to overstate it.
I expect by this point that the astute among you may be saying to yourselves " But how'd you even know this host is male? Huh? Eh?"
Lean over so i can whisper in your ear.

There were some WWF theme tunes in there.

But i can overlook that!

Anyway, how cool would it be if Limewire started a dating service? (Someone's going to nick this idea now, aren't they?) So you could contact those file sharers that wanted to be identified and what a great basis for a possible relationship... My idea that one! You heard it here first.

You can contact fellow limewire users. When you browse a host so long as you can see a smiley face you can contact them through yahoo. No need to steal the idea its already in motion

As for limey being a dating service - um ok! would have to be my response - however i moderately agree as someones music taste says a lot about them!

But i must agree with Northern Creative - how do you know it is a guy? Some woman very butch ones! like WWF and it's music!

I suppose they could install some kind of sign like the cross and arrow to let us know who is female or male - my idea first!!!

Just a heads up. A blogger on myspace has started to use your content and passing it off as their own. This repeat offender needs to be stopped. I don't know why she's doing it as I caught her before copying from someone's blogspot journal.

go here: blog.myspace.com/sweetymuah

does the limewire entry look familiar? i want to get her account closed if she's repeatingly plagiarizing.

Thank you for pointing this out. The Lime wire entry is a direct cut and paste. I'd appreciate anything you can do- this is really wierd.
