Reviews, new tunes, Top N lists, occasional song and DJ mix downloads, and other musical mash-ups.
Recently picked up a copy of Midwest Product‘s album “Specifics” and have been enjoying it pretty thoroughly. Probably would have never picked up on it had I not seen it mentioned in Urb like 3 years ago. But for whatever reason it stuck out in my mind (maybe it’s the “???” name or the “that’s […]
Today-ish marks the approximate/more-or-less one year anniversary of the beginning of dream-logging here at founddrama.net. Which isn’t to say that “evacuation” was the first. Far from it. But it was the beginning of it becoming a regular thing. Since then, I’ve posted almost 80 dreams, some short and vague, some long and detailed, some after […]
Me & A.’s dad have gone to a Clutch concert together. Clutch has become a HUGE act. G&R huge. Filling stadiums huge. And the two of us are off to the show together. Our seats aren’t very good but that doesn’t matter very much. Because it’s not actually a concert. It’s a MMORPG version of […]

So is anyone else just plain sick and tired of this freakin’ story? To me it’s just another chapter in the s/he said s/he said po-mo mythology of who said what when why where first and whether or not it’s all that original and/or (re?)mix-worthy in the first place. Statement one: The Postal Service’s video […]

Finally getting back around to visiting the Internet iTunes Registry. Indeed, there are some neat reports in there. Still getting a feel for what kind of information it’s really presenting – – i.e., how is it really comparing my tracks against others’? and why does it say I have a diversity of “0” in my […]
Variations on a theme? Yet another iTunes-inspired song meme.

Via Gizmodo: Bios Magazine reports on ION’s unfortunately named “ITTUSB” turntable which apparently pumps the vinyl goodness direct to your Mac/PC over USB. While not priced as low as Griffin’s iMic, at $139 it might be a more than perfectly affordable solution for someone looking to rip down their tracks from vinyl. This will probably […]
Via TUAW: the Internet iTunes Registry – – upload the XML dump of your iTunes Library and join the info smorgasboard! On first glance, this seems an awful lot like a variation on what I was talking about recently in “programming serendipity” – – it’s a little too soon for it to be “the lazy […]
