Ars Technica: New Orphaned Works Act would limit copyright liability: Huge, important story from last week and NO MENTIONS on the New York Times or any other major news outlet. Shameful. Anyway basically there are now House and Senate bills that would limit your exposure to litigation if you make a good-faith effort to determine […]

The Strawberry Zots - Get Me To The World On Time
April 7, 2008 – 9:28 pm
This song is the penultimate - that’s right, PENULTIMATE - box marked off on my WDRE playlist. I scoured the internet for this single, but in the end, I had to go to Amazon Used for a physical copy.
It’s not terrifically good; it sounds best in context next to “Full Of Love” by Doctor […]

Wu-Tang pause tape #1
December 26, 2007 – 5:20 pm
I basically made this tape for myself, but I think the selection is good enough to share. It’s all Wu-Tang, or songs from members and affiliates. RZA’s genius is that the Wu is a whole musical genre unto itself; this tape leans toward the grimier middle period sound.

Andy’s awesome untitled mixtape
December 18, 2007 – 10:38 pm
Words from the man himself: “This is more of a late-night-melancholy-reading-a-novel type mix. Probably won’t make much sense unless you listen to it all at once. . .. browsing track by track at the computer, you’d probably get to “Or So it Seems” and be like, screw this.”

Pick up your guns, don’t take your Prozac
December 17, 2007 – 9:43 pm
Wu-Tang is the new John Coltrane! This track was produced by Mark Ronson way back in 2004. It’s criminal that ODB’s last album never officially came out; it’s seriously good.

Here’s what’s on my queue - what am I missing? I’ve heard a lot of the talked-about music and seen a lot of movies that’ve come out this year but haven’t read a lot of books.

Audeguy - The Theory of Clouds
Bolano - The Savage Detectives
Ellis - Crooked Little Vein
Jin - A Free Life

New mixtape: Cage Of Bones
November 20, 2007 – 5:38 pm
Despite the block of girl pop sounds (Rye Rye, Miley, Hollywood Jills) and a John Martyn track at the end, this is the most depressing mixtape I’ve ever made. I don’t know what got into me. 90mb via MediaFire.
Future of the Left - Small Bones Small Bodies: Falco and Eggs’ post-McLusky project. As if […]
Balearic?
November 12, 2007 – 8:18 pm
So there’s this style of music, right, that some people call Balearic Revival. “Balearic” refers to the Spanish Balearic chain of islands - of which Ibiza is one. Ibiza: Mixmag! 1996! Ecstasy! Bonfires! Is that what’s being revived?
Not quite, apparently. Others call the style Space Disco, as in this article in the SF Bay Guardian, […]
Editors - All Sparks (Phones remix)
October 19, 2007 – 10:09 am
Okay, another Paul Epworth remix - this time, of a song that’s going on my next mixtape. The Editors are an interesting band - their 2005 record sounds very Interpol-y to me, whereas the new one gets away from that quite a bit, but I like it less.
Rick Springfield - Jessie’s Girl
October 11, 2007 – 10:15 pm
Man, I heard this on Jonesy’s Jukebox yesterday and DAMN if I haven’t heard it in forever. Just perfect for the mood I’ve been in, although I’m not lusting after any of my friends’ girlfriends or anything.
Check this out, from Wikipedia: “In 1974, Springfield dated and lived with then 15-year-old actress Linda Blair.” Whoaaa.
Jessie’s […]
