Of course you know about Pitchforkmedia the music blog right? Well they launched a website for our listening and viewing enjoyment. I have been watching a documentary about the Pixies and their reunion tour (it will only play for one week). They have a lots of other cool videos from artists we all love, Radiohead performs “Bangers and Mash” some Cut Copy, Lairs, Boards of Canada and others. So if you have some time to kill… go here LINK
There’s nothing I love more than analogies - well except for the 0.5 release of Songbird, the music player based on the mozilla engine. It is in the Firefox, Thunderbird, Mozilla family of applications. Built on the open-source, open-standard philosophy of making damn good software. It has rich integration with sites like last.fm and hype machine. Check it out and give it a spin. It’s still in beta, so go easy on it.

“I enjoy playing music for people who are not afraid of listening to something they haven’t heard, but also do my best to please the crowd.”
Two Brooklyn bands I wanted to serve up for your listening pleasure. With all the great danse-punk and electro shit that’s been released on the interwaves it’s nice to hear some good rock once in a while. And it’s a good thing guys like those in these two bands are around making it.
I don’t know how I missed these guys last year… they were big in the blogosphere, but I never got around to listening…
Diamond Nights formed in 2003 as a group betrothed to the pursuit of song, not genre. As such, their music oscillates from straightforward to strange, from bombastically heavy to casually reserved. More specifically, it’s the sort of music that seems to embody a band somewhere between its first experimentation with hard drugs and prior to the calamitous meltdown, getting cleaned up and writing mediocre soft rock hits.
Something from the tribe…
The song is called the “The Shouty Track” off of the album ‘64-’95
If you guys don’t know about hypem.com yet, you have got to check this site out. Basically it aggregates different blogs around the net (over a thousand at this point), and lets you go through and listen to what people are finding good. Lots of gems out there.
Hypem.com is essentially doing what radio is supposed to do now, give power to the person selecting the music and put the hardship on the DJ. Let them pour through 100’s of albums looking for good music and bring it to the surface. For the last 20 years radio has failed us with robot radio and set schedules of what music to play and when. The DJ’s haven’t had a lick of input as far as what gets played.
Just my latest jams.
In the spirit of the upcoming weekend …
