All Around My Hat: Steeleye Span
Dec 02, 2:21AM
"All Around My Hat" is a rework of a 19th century song about staying true to your fiancee while she is sent to serve seven years for theft in the penal colony in Australia. Probably just what you thought. Anyway, Steeleye Span heard something in it and turned it into a chart topper, at least in Ireland where it was #3 for awhile in 1975. It's catchy and pretty hilarious and I used to dance around to it in my formative years so there you go. [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

A New Study Says You Sell More Music If You Get Rid Of Content Locks
Dec 01, 10:51PM
Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems are used on things like ebook and movie files to make them more difficult to share. During the Napster era the major record labels got on board with DRMs in a big way hoping that they could reduce piracy by locking their music files down.
