MP3's

I'll be releasing some of my own music here soon, so watch this spot!
Also, I'll distribute some Ian Eskelin remixes as soon as the author sends 'em to me

Ok here's the skinny: I once saw this great mp3 search engine called the SuperSearch (now gone?) which let you search a lot of mp3 sites very easily by entering your query once, and then clicking on one of the engines would do that search. I thought that was a hip idea, so when that site disappeared, I thought it'd be a great project to code. So, I tried and tried to write it in perl, and came up with some easier cop-out (but kinda cool on huge monitors!) searchers, which work like this:

(USE THE TOP FOR REAL QUERIES!!!)

I just couldn't figure out how to do framesrc=something_thats_not_a_file_but_rather_dynamically_created without actually creating a file in /tmp, which would have been too messy. Then, I realized JAVASCRIPT IS THE ANSWER after I visited the Scorpion's mp3 search page. He does a lot of unnecessary string manipulation, so my search should be the fastest possible in JavaScript - mine is only 1 line long (plus 12 or so lines defining the location).
