Here is the tool that helped us to find lots of music to download that was not that easy to find before.

We have already posted about musgle.com when it came out about a couple months ago, but this time we’d like share the user experience and confirm that it is indeed a powerful music search tool - well it has Google underneath, so there is no surprise after all :), and it does really have a very simple user interface.

One gotcha with search for free downloadable items is broken/false links that either do not work (any longer) or some websites make it seem like files can be freely downloaded (pretend to be FTP sites) where they are really not. But musgle (via Google) gives such a variety of links most of the time, then if it is not the first link that works (although it is almost always the first), then the second, third as max, will be it.

And yes, there are several other similar services out there in www, but musgle seems to have a much simpler interface, and more relevant search results, that it gets through Google, which we find more effective and appealing.

Search freely and directly downladable music e.g. mp3, wma, wav, etc.. Give it a try!

” Musgle originates from the idea of combining words Music and Google. The idea is simple yet very powerful. To see Musgle in action just type a song title, or the artist name, or both in a search bar and hit ‘Enter’ - you will be redirected to the Google page with relevant search results. Click on one of those results, and you will have a chance to directly download the song you are searching for - very smooth!

Although Musgle is not affiliated with Google, ALL its strength comes from it When searching for any kind of music (mp3, wma, wav, etc), Musgle calls Google for help by submitting a special search query to it, which is based on Advanced Google Search Operators. After Google does its hard work, it returns results with direct links to mp3, wma, wav, etc.. music files that can be downloaded directly with no hassle!

Good Luck! “

Thought for a while about creating a virtual band? Well, then you’ll need these virtual instruments

Once in a while my friends need to get something from these huge stores stuffed with electronics. So they drag me along to help them review whatever it is they are after. Since most of the time I buy that kind of stuff online, I quickly get bored walking down those isles, and stop at the one with all these cool pianos (keyboards). There I spent most of my time practicing, while my friends are looking for stuff.

Recently I was googling for something and found Colin’s blog, which had a cool link to this amazing virtual piano with several different modes: organ, saxophone, drums, flute, guitar, strings, bass, etc.

Then I went further and found this great virtual drumkit which probably requires a real mouse, but gives a very realistic feeling:

There are many more cool virtual instruments out there, so feel free to expand this list by adding more links.

Let’s get to jamming people!

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is a song written by Freddie Mercury, originally recorded by the band Queen for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song is in the style of a rock opera, and has a very unusual musical structure for a piece of popular music. Its six different sections have no chorus but both a cappella and heavy metal arrangements. Despite this, it was released as a single and became a huge commercial success, marking a decisive point in Queen’s career and setting them on the way to become one of the world’s most popular bands. The single was accompanied by what is generally cited as a groundbreaking “promotional video”, which helped establish the visual language of the modern music video. The song was included in all of Queen’s subsequent live concert performances and still enjoys great popularity all over the world.
