For sometime now, my wife and I have been sharing one vehicle, our trusty Land Rover Molly (Molly was the center of attention during the Rosenthal Sucks experience), so this past weekend I finally broke down and decided to go get me another car. I receive in the vincinity of ten "Pre-Approved Financing" automobile offers (where do they get my name?) so I pretty much played iny miny miney moe and decided on a Ford dealership nearby, Kip Killmon's Ford.

I wasn't really set on a particular model of car, just something small, 4-door, 4 cylinder, newer model. After a quick tour with my salesman Sam, I decided on a 2006 Toyota Corolla S-Type, silver, black interior, only 4K miles. While we did the test drive, Sam and I got to talking about music, he asked me if I had ever heard of an album by Steve Winwood by the name of "Go". I never had, he explained that it was a project he did with some other musicians, he couldent remeber their names, only that it was released around '76 or '77. He claimed that he had searched for it in numerous record stores but had no luck. He also is one of the few people remaining that doesnt have a computer or use one for work, he had never checked online.

I offered to take a look and see if I could locate it for him, since he said it was an absolutely amazing album. When I got home (In my new Corolla) I decided to use my Jedi searching skills to come across this yet to me unknown album. After a few minutes I found out that Steve Winwood did collaborate with a japanese musician by the name of Stomu Yamash'ta on an album named "Go". Unfortunately iTunes did not have this available for download, Amazon had some used copies, but I was heading back over to the dealership in a couple of days and wanted to get something for him sooner. After searching Google for "Stomu Yamash'ta download MP3" I came across LegalSounds.com an outfit based out of Russia. They advertise downloadable MP3 tracks for $0.09 a track! Yes, thats right, not $0.99, but under a dime a track! Not only are they supa cheap, they had some tracks that until now, I was unable to find. I have spent several hours going through my memory banks to drudge up some old songs I never thought I'd be able to find digitally, their library is definately filled with some obscure and rare tracks, a treasure trove for those searching for tracks not normally found on iTunes or Napster.

As far as I can tell, they are completely legit, my assumption is that they are paying licensesing fee's at Russian rates and then reselling to the international market. So until I find out otherwise, LegalSounds is my new one stop shop for rare and hard to find music tracks.
