Episode two of “Oh Penny Record” — A series devoted to free Creative Commons music.
OPR002 was initally (a few weeks back) going to be dedicated entirely to anti-genre netlabel Sweet Smelling Surfaces—they’ve definitely got enough goodies—but along the way I got a little side-tracked…

The following 3 lines reveal a shocking trend in Lambprey’s browser usage over the past 4 months…
Top right; IE surpasses Firefox as your browser of choice.
IE6 is 2.5x more popular than IE7.
So, who are you IE6 people and what poor excuses do you have for using an archaic, broke-ass application on my site?
Fuck it, I don’t want to hear them. Let’s move you on to a more modern, newfangled browser. Below I’ve poorly summarised 4 popular browsers with my digital pencil.
Firefox (the Pirate) is many a geeks preferred site sucker, it’s a fine choice, and my recommendation, go get it now you philistine!
Safari (the Cyclops) is here on merit, still at beta stage for Windows so I don’t recommend you—the stubborn IE6er—switch to it, even though it demolishes IE6.
Opera (the Ninja) the rarest of the 4—it hides in the shadows waiting to strike with precision, skill and elegance…
What? you don’t want to switch brand? Fine! But the very least you can do is upgrade your current browser; if not for me (provider of free songs) do it for yourself, when was the last time you treated yourself to something shiny and new anyway?
On a more serious note (even more serious than terrorism) not only is IE6 insecure, it makes sites look ugly and causes arthritis among developers; plus all the above are free, so what are you waiting for?
I’ll be coming back to this in 4 or 5 months, and if IE6ers haven’t fallen by the wayside, they’ll be permanently banned from here.
