I stumbled across Chinese Hammer tonight and fell in love with it for a thousand reasons. Just the thought of someone halfway around the world mimicking a video […]


The Future of the Music Business

In the age of the mp3, label musicians and the labels themselves are fighting for survival. As the cost of music is driven down to near zero, they’re doing everything they can to reverse that trend — and yet, the trend continues. I’ve been thinking about music costing effectively nothing and the future of the […]

Premixed

This is pretty cool, Colin Mutchler has released an album of his songs remixed by the CCMixter community.
CCMixter is pretty amazing stuff, but I don’t think I got the UI right when we launched it. Here’s Colin’s history on CCMixter and you can see all the remixers that picked up his samples and tracks […]


Subscription vs. piecemeal pricing of music

This week I actually suggested to someone that they avoid an iPod and instead buy something from Creative or iRiver. I know, I was shocked to hear myself say “well if you want unlimited music, no version of an iPod will work with that.”

MLP: music

Doug egged me into this music meme that is spreading. I saw it first yesterday and thought it was kind of dumb, but in the past 24 hours I’ve found dozens more from folks I read and admire, and I’ve changed my tune — it’s turned out to be kind of cool. So here goes:

Like a random royale with cheese

I have an aux input on my car stereo (thanks to Honda for putting one in at the factory — I love my Element) so I’ve been using an iPod in it since I drove it off the dealer’s lot. I noticed recently however, I prefer using my iPod shuffle over my 20Gb iPod.

Chaos with a side of order
