I use Jamendo from time to time since entire catalogue is free and  all CC licensed. I received e-mail from them today that they have reached their 1 millionth download of their albums (almost said record-it is a digital album and record I guess). Kudos Jamendo on getting out so much music  to so many people and for continuing to upgrade your UI  and making the experience for listener/user better and better.

Social function: You can listen to other users playlists and make your own for other people to share

The more things change the more they stay the same(or in this case recycle). The music business is becoming a singles oriented affair (consumer-friendly freedom of choice model) shifting away from the album format(push model record company forces consumer to buy collection of songs for bundled sale).

In essence the listening of recorded music has shifted from a very hands-on experience: taking record>getting it out of abum cover/paper sleeve>carefully placing it on platter>cleaning it>cueing it>and finally listening to it.

Recent model:find desired track in ITunes or winamp and click or: find desired track in mp3 player and click.

This was a very informative article about Chicago’s fine indie record label-Touch and Go. Many of the bands and genres represented here were off of my radar screen. Not any more. Here is link for the Pitchfork article-Happy 25th T&G!. link

Qai’s Dad, Arnel

I’m not going to say much here because I already said what I had to say in the podcast. However I would like to say how very proud I am of the NYC Police and Fire Departments and the people of NYC during that time of crisis and insanity, and how they showed their humanity and great courage. It broke my heart to see the Towers fall, but seeing you folks take action and overcome by living life with gusto, made my heart beat again.
Here is a very poignant poem from my friend Aron that was there in NYC that day.

Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment on Bush: Who has left this hole in the ground? We have not forgotten, Mr. President. You have. May this country forgive you. Thanks Aron.

Hey Peeps-will be doing a SongStory look for it tomorrow. Also the artwork above is for new podcast I’ll be doing with Jean MoShang from Chill Dynasty fame. He’ll be playing and talking about numerous remixes he’s done. Expect some interviews with other electronic/remix musicians in future episodes.

Located my good buddy from college days (Saito-san) on the internet. Hehe-that rocks.

Wasup Leguppers? I feel filled with love (and some caffeine too, and definitely MUSIC). So just writing to say I appreciate the increasing feedback from you friends all over the globe, and particularly those from Pluto. We will avenge you Plutons-the “slam” was unexpected and we’ll continue the sonic barrage on those eggheads until they see the light.

The Shogunate declares this Blue Wave worthy: Pitchfork , James Spooner, AfroPunk interview on SmallWorld , 2nd Anniversary EvilGenius Show-Kudos Dave! , John Jacobs Interview on DeadPan , 7th Son listener Brian .

Well friends the Big Easy is still around a year after Katrina tried to beat her down. A lot of changes have occurred some good, others not so optimal. I recite a RATM song as poem and share some thoughts, mention Frank’s Place. Music selection is funky and soulful in honor of it’s teacher: New Orleans.

BBC News recently recorded a debate about P2P between MPAA President Dan Glickman and EFF Co-Founder John Perry Barlow. Watch the whole thing here, and don’t miss another classic Barlow quote:

“The good news is that you guys have managed to buy every major legislative body in the planet, but you know the problem is, the bad news is that you’re up against a dedicated foe that is younger and smarter than you are and will be alive when you are dead, and has historical forces on its side, and is using its technological acumen very adeptly to ward off all of your efforts of control and you’re gonna lose that one. I mean you’re fifty-five years old and these kids are seventeen and they’re just smarter than you are. So you’re gonna lose that one. But the good news is you guys are mean sons of bitches and you’ve been figuring out ways to rip off audiences and artists for centuries really, and all you gotta do is get outta bed a little earlier in the morning for a spell and you’ll find new ways of doing this. I have every faith in you and you should give yourselves a little credit, instead of howling that you’re going to be victimized. It’s not like you to be victimized.”

In other words, the movie industry will live on — and find a veritable pot of gold waiting for it — when it stops threatening innovators and fans with lawsuits and DRM.

Right on Perry-I’ll be grateful when those venal assholes are dead. Reposted from EFF links
