Those sweet sounds, the soundtrack of my mind…

Last week was a full week of Johnny Cash. Check out Hurt

Woot! Today the Zune hits….

15-Nov-06

Today is that fateful day when Microsoft launches the venerable iPod competitor, the Zune. From all reports the Zune is pretty craptacular . Everything from a bizarre song sharing feature to not even playing previous Microsoft DRM-ed music. I really don't get it, if Microsoft is going to take a stab at the market why [...]

Shine on you crazy diamond…..

11-Jul-06

I was saddened to read that Syd Barrett, former lead singer of Pink Floyd, died. His story is absolutely fascinating, he left Pink Floyd right before they garnered world-wide fame and went through a complete mental breakdown (induced by LSD according to some). Many say he was the inspiration for the album Wish You Were [...]

I don’t buy it, but it does mellow me out…

Now this is soooo funny….
Hilary Rosen, pitbull of the recording industry is actually complaining about restrictive DRM in today’s downloadable music scene (see Ariana Huffington’s new blog). Oh her post is so precious, I guess when consumers were trying to make the same point she didn’t “get it”. Maybe she gets it now?
Somehow I don’t [...]

Hip Hop Recommendation…

I can highly recommend picking this up. Nothing beats old-skool rap. Run DMC & crew made hip-hop what it was and can’t really be blamed for what is has become…

UpTo11.net – Music Recommendations and Search

02-Mar-05

The most amazing music recommendation engine just launched, its UpTo11.net – Music Recommendations and Search. They seem to be using some pretty interesting algorithms to determine what else to check out. The algorithms actually work pretty awesomely. If you haven’t been there, get there now. It just made del.icio.us most popular link of the day, its that good!

Go buy some music….

28-Dec-04

Please go buy some music from Sarah Mclachlan over at iTunes.
Why?
Because she did this. And anybody that does that deserves to sell their stuff. Even if you don’t like her music you should support her efforts. Tell your favorite band to do the same.

iPod – Here comes the warts….

06-Dec-04

Ah the wonder of new consumer electronics. The shiny new device oozing the promise of new experiential horizons. Turns out the shiny new device, a 4th generation iPod, is a heaping pile of junk. Amazingly enough it seems this marvel of modern technology will not work properly when running. Yes, you heard me right, running.
It [...]

Happiness is….

25-Nov-04

A brand spanking new 4th gen ipod. Having been a longtime ipod user I figured the new one wasn’t going to be that much different. Truth is, its not, but the experience of that UI is so much more refined than the 3rd gen. I am amazed at how Apple keeps doing this type of [...]
