I’ve been playing with Jamendo lately (anything not to write my thesis). Just found this today. A little bit of a strong autotune effect there and I can’t quite decide if that was intentional or not. Assuming it was, it’s an interesting sound. In the first song of the album “Broken Stereo”, the effect is varied . . . → Read More: Jamendo fun

As a canadian citizen living in the US (and given the level of disinformation flying around), I feel it’s a public service to post a link to this blog post from an american woman living in the UK and telling her impression of the UK National . . . → Read More: american healthcare debate Cnet’s Rafe Needleman has an opinion/analysis piece about the coming demise of the tablet computers, even before they hit mainstream release with the crunchpad and the rumored Apple tablet. For those of you who haven’t been following out there, the tablets are supposed to be a touchscreen sharing a case with all the computer bits.

I wonder how this guy’s installation compares from starting with Ubunu Studio. My understanding is that Ubuntu Studio is supposed to be tailored to audio/video/image production from the start. I’ve been meaning to try it for a while, . . . → Read More: Linux and music production The french-irish-ivorian electronic band is distributing a 7 song album for free with a creative commons license on jamendo. Haven’t listened to it yet, but I’ve been enjoying their boom boom ba song (which you quite happily buy on amazon for a dollar).

(To be fair, I’m still flying with Delta right now.) I thought I’d give their in-flight internet service a try.

I’m not just talking about the no-drm mp3 stuff, that’s only half of the equation. What’s the other half? Convenience. Amazon has a download utility for their digital music sales.
