The Beethoven Experience on BBC
Bryan is giving me all kinds of music tips (see previous post on Magnatune). Last month the BBC aired, on nine successive nights, the nine Beethoven symphonies as performed by the BBC Philharmonic and conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, collectively titled The Beethoven Experience. Not only that, but the BBC made each perforance available on the BBC web site to download for free. Nice.

Well, the one catch is that the downloads were only available for 10 days after their respective original airing. So today only symphonies 8 and 9 are still available. Fortunately, Bryan had a torrent file already googled and passed it along. In just a matter of minutes (okay, maybe half an hour) I was able to download the nine symphonies (all 340+ MB of them). This here new-fangled internet sure does whip the llama's arse!
