     Hahaha; great idea! I just tried out Napster for the first time a few
days ago, and was rather disappointed because you just can't search for
much of anything easily. But there certainly is a lot available out there.
I think I might try this; after all, it wouldn't be a big stretch to credit
Rocked By Rape to AC/DC or whatever... great!
     By the way, there is a Linux version of Napster out also. I remember
one of the help pages from www.napster.com points to it.

"The desire to consume is a kind of lust.  We long to have the world 
flow through us like air or food.  We are thirsty and hungry for
something that can only be carried inside bodies.  But consumer goods
merely bait this lust, they do not satisfy it.  The consumer of
commodities is invited to a meal without passion, a consumption
that leads to neither satiation nor fire.  He is a stranger
seduced into feeding on the drippings of someone else's capital
without benefit of its inner nourishment, and he is hungry at the
end of the meal, depressed and weary as we all feel when lust has
dragged us from the house and led us to nothing."
