This question has come up a number of times on MLR. While we would all like a quick answer to tap into the riches of the music library world, the fact is there is no easy answer. There are hundreds of music libraries that serve different markets, from royalty free sites, mid level boutique, to high end mega libraries.

Music – The Gift That Keeps On Giving
I’m always amazed how the process of creating music can keep on giving. I played on David Soul’s album back in the 70s and barely remember it but yesterday got a check for a couple of hundred dollars. Seems that some of the music was used in the Nicole Kidman film “Rabbit Hole”. The point is to keep creating. Over the years you will create a body of work that will present you with nice surprises when you are least expecting it!
Hugh Laurie – Where’s The Love?
Robin and I have been a fan of Hugh Laurie since we discovered him years ago in the TV series “Jeeves and Wooster”. We have also watched just about every episode of “House” over the years. While we mostly enjoyed it, especially the early years, it was getting a bit long in the tooth. Still, it was a cut above most shows, even on a bad night.
This past week we watched the final episode which was terrific and had a perfect ending. It was preceded by a hour long retrospective of the series’ eight seasons. The retrospective covered just about every aspect of the show and it’s creation. It interviewed and paid homage to the writers, producers, directors, grips, set builders down to the caterer. There was one glaring exception. Not one mention of the music! WTF! No mention of the theme music “Teardrop” by the trip-hop group Massive Attack. No mention of any composers or music used throughout the last eight years? Laurie is fairly talented musician himself and at times playing piano and guitar on the show. So I wonder what the real story is about that glaring omission. As I said, WTF!
DNSChanger Malware
I use a service called Cloudflare to speed up and protect MLR from hackers, bots, trojans, etc. They recently sent me an e-mail regarding the DNSChanger malware.
MLR is NOT infected. This warning would pertain to your computer.
MLR Forum Is Up!
After a number of years and more than a few requests MLR now has a forum. I resisted all these years as I could not find any software that integrated with the existing site. bbPress 2.0 does that as it’s very WordPress friendly. I only have a couple of forums up but will add more as time goes on. Any forums you would like me to add please leave a comment here and I will add, if appropriate. There is a link in the top nav menu and on each sidebar at the top. Click here to go to the Forum.
Thanks to all who have provided feedback and thanks for your patience. Hopefully this will be a solution!
