MP3Sparks.com , the Russian music site, is back online. The site was blocked by several ISPs because it was hosted on a Turkish site with dubious connections, to say the lest. Not sure whether they’ve moved hosts or done a deal with someone but everything looks back to normal … for now.

If you use the controversial Russian music site Mp3Sparks.com (an offshoot of the banned AllofMp3.com), you may find your access blocked. Apparently the site has been using a notorious Turkish web host that has been linked to some serious cybercrimeand has been blocked by several ISPs in the UK and US. I’ve been a regular user of these Russian sites not only becuase they provide amazing value but simply because the archaic international copyright laws won’t let me or other Bermuda-based users buy music or movies from iTunes, Amazon and other online sources. Obviously I would rather buy my music legit but until this situation changes, I will buy my music or download it where I can, so hopefully the Russkis will find another host soon. In the meantime, you might want to try Mp3Sugar, Iomoio or the eclectic eMusic as alternatives. And long live Pirate Bay!
Anyone who knows me knows how important music has been to me since I was knee-high to a record player. From embarrassing Cliff Richard impersonations as a five-year-old (apparently “Summer Holiday” was a family crowd-pleaser) to the eclectic cast of thousands on my iPod, music has been a constant thread throughout my life. So as I approached my 50th birthday last September, I figured why not “do a Nick Hornby” and pick out 50 songs that have meant the most to me over the past half a century. I finally got around to finishing it over Christmas.
