  • Decemberists Albums Free Download Torrent the Decemberists Release Music Video on Bittorrent
    decemberists albums free download torrent The Decemberists Release Music Video on BitTorrent. The indie rock band “The Decemberists” has more faith in BitTorrent than MTV. The band from Portland, Oregon want their video to be available to a wide public, and BitTorrent is the easiest way to do so. For the most part, MTV and VH1 won’t touch video unless bands have sold a huge number of records, it’s impossible to get rotation.” Publishing a video on BitTorrent, is cheap, easy and efficient. The hardcore fans helped to seed the torrent and within a couple of days the torrent was downloaded more that 2000 times. Slim Moon, founder of Kill Rock Stars, the Decemberists’ record label responds: “No matter where you stand on issues of copyright, a network like BitTorrent is really for exactly this kind of thing When you have content that you want to freely distribute, it seems like … the most logical way to distribute.” The video for “Sixteen Military Wives” was shot for less than $6,000 at a high school in Portland, Oregon, and features members of the band participating in a Model United Nations, a simulation popular in high schools to teach students about problem-solving and international relations. In the video, Decemberists singer Colin Meloy represents the United States and boldly declares war on Luxembourg, a not-so-subtle jab at the Bush administration’s decision to go to war. By the way, their album “Castaways and Cutouts” probably looks familiar to most people in the BitTorrent community. The Decemberists Albums: Ranked from Worst to Best.

    2009-2010 Four Quarter Set #1 Round 12 First Quarter, Ten Tossups 1. Along with Szilard, this man invented a refrigerator that has no mechanical parts. He is the namesake of a model of heat capacity that is similar to Debye's. He gives his name to rings that occur when light bends around by a large mass. This man's namesake field equations describe gravitation. In 1905, this man wrote a paper on Brownian motion, and another paper on the quantized nature of the photoelectric effect. He also envisioned a theory that led to the twin paradox. For 10 points, name this physicist behind special and general relativity. ANSWER: Albert Einstein 001-09-1-12101 2. One character created by this author escapes from a tower with the aid of his aunt Gina, and earlier stumbles onto the Waterloo battlefield. This author created Fabrizio del Dongo in The Charterhouse of Parma, and ended another novel with a woman kissing the lips of a beheaded man. That man impregnates Mathilde, the daughter of his employer, the Marquis de la Mole, but earlier in this novel begins an affair with Madame de Rênal. This author wrote a novel about Julien Sorel, whose two title colors refer to army uniforms and priest robes. For 10 points, name this French author of The Red and the Black. ANSWER: Stendhal [or Marie-Henri Beyle] 034-09-1-12102 3. The Hausdorff dimensions of these objects are greater than their topological dimensions. Examples of these objects include the Menger sponge and the Sierpinski triangle, and types of them, such as the Cantor set, can be created by infinitely iterating a recursive equation.
