After putting together my album of pun-filled tracks, all sourced from crickets chirping around campus, I decided they needed to fly. I pushed them out into the internet and then added a seductive quilt of ads for the site, all  linked to the download file. I’ve been listening to the tracks on my media player, creating entries on last.fm – like this one by The Crickettes. Where will all these tracks be in a year? Five years? Ten? Will parents in the future put on Stop Buggin’ Me by The Kicks to lull their babies to sleep?
