It's a small and interconnected world out there...
So this morning I went to a customer who was referred to me by another customer of mine. He had a MacBook Pro and MacBook that had water damage and needed data recovered. No Problem, the drive's are still in pretty good shape. As I'm transferring data we get to talking. He's into music, me to. He's in to tech, Me to. He was a former CEO of AOL Canada... Um... I once had a song placed in a Nissan commercial? Doesn't quite match up, I know. He's Canadian, I'm going to Canada Tomorrow! We both read Bob Lefsetz! We both know some of the same people in the music industry. He's shifting out of the tech world and into the Music world; developing a Jam band and starting an All-in tech savvy management company, I'm shifting away from music (as a source of income) and more into the tech industry (as a source of income.) He dig's Drum and Bass, I made Drum and Bass. It goes on and on. None the less I get back to the office to enter his info in my address book and find a press release about him on line. The press release was written by the person who referred me to him. It sure is a small interconnected world at times. -Joe

Apple’s New Data Center Likely to Focus on Cloud Computing
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/08/apple-cloud/# A 500,000 square foot data center? As the Investors would say, "What's the play here?" Or even better as Tom Waits would say in hushed raspy voice "What are they building in there?" I have no concrete info obviously, but my bet is on the expansion of MobileMe and the move of proccessing power and data storage for apps like iMovie, iPhoto and iWeb. More done in the cloud from where ever you are on what ever platform and device you're on. Maybe it's more simple than that. Maybe it's iDisks big enough to work with time machine and back up your entire system in the cloud. Or perhaps it's to offer spotify like services for both music and movies. On demand and subscription based? Someday we'll know for sure but for now it's back to "What are they Building in there!" -Joe

TomTom navigation for iPhone 3G and 3GS arrives... But at a Hefty Price!
via engadget.com
I'm not quite sure why TomTom went with the massive price tag for this App, $99.99 US, especially since they want you to buy the additional car kit too! I could see $10-$20 for that App and then another $50-70 for the car kit, maybe even a $99.99 price point for the car kit, but at 1st glance I'm experiencing severe sticker shock!

New Radiohead track leaked? - These Are My Twisted Words
Another new Radiohead song emerged last night, this time mysteriously on http://www.ateaseweb.com/2009/08/13/new-radiohead-track-leaked/
Rumors are swirling... Is it from a new EP, possible titled 'Wall of ice', is it from the New Moon Twilight soundtrack, or is it just Thom and Johnny messing about? Who knows! Is it any good? I say yes, but not great or polished. It's a bit of a trance really and a little sloppy, similar to 'In Rainbows' in one way and you can also hear some influence form the last Portishead record, so I guess there's a bit of Krautrock in it as well. Listen for your self.

Those old cassette tapes are still good for something
I could probably make a couple hundred of these... I have boxes of old radio shows, local band tapes and even some Kansas that could be converted. I have no idea why I have a Kansas on cassette. :)
When I was 13 I used to love Skate Boarding...
Now there's 3 kids out side the office who suck and all I hear is this consant slapping of boards against concrete and brick. It's driving me nuts and I'm turning into an old man. Yikes!

DJ Mike Relm - Charlie Bit Me Remix ( youtube live )

Impressive use of video, turntables, a controller and computer.
'Spotify earns us more than iTunes': Sony BMG Sweden
via thelocal.se
Only a record label exec could turn this positive into a discussion on how CD packaging needs to be improved. Seriously? That's what's going to save you, better CD packaging? WOW!
More here.
It's getting kinda sad when you become less productive when the internet goes down.
I was working on multiple projects; entering data in FMP, composing an Email, and helping a customer through iChat screen sharing when the internet went down. Then I found my self searching for something productive to do that was work related. It was kinda hard because I was really focused on the three projects I had going on. This is definitely the down side of the cloud. Abut 10 years ago, when I worked at a CD import/export company in Miami, we used to shout out "Everybody out of the pool" when the system went down, then wander off to go get some coffee or heckle the IT guys or more specifically, the developers who were trying to work out the bugs in said system. It used to make me laugh. Now it makes me wonder how much time/money I'm losing. Amazing what a difference 10 years will make. -Joe

Breakfast can wait... For Families Today, Technology Is Morning’s First Priority
via nytimes.com
I know this is true in our house on most mornings. Kristen and I will often times be at the computer while eating breakfast and sometimes even before we eat.
For us it's an effort to multitask, but we get sucked in and then find our selves scrambling to get out the door. We're so wired it's a challenge to ignore the impulse to check email or status updates.
There's room for improvement and balance here. Surely.

No More Radiohead Albums? - All Songs Considered Blog : NPR
via npr.org
It would seem the boys from Radiohead are getting board. Board with the Long Player Format and, for the time being, are embracing the singles format. I find this quite amusing, especially since they are one of maybe 5 groups or artist that I would consider the Long Player or Album format to be appropriate for. And, when they do make an Album I make it a point to listen to, as intended, front to back, No shuffling, at least for the 1st handful of listens, and will often go back and listen to in it's entirety from time to time.
What I find even more amusing is the conversation I have with my band mates about this same topic. John is an Album guy and Danny is mostly an Album guy but because he's a DJ he's also kinda a singles guy. Me, I'm the singles guy all the way. Only recently have I ventured into actively listening to Albums again, but most don't make it past the 1st two or three listens before I start isolating the "singles" or favorites and the "best" of that record ends up in shuffleland.
Personally I would prefer to hear to new material from Radiohead more often than every two years or so. Speaking from experience, it can be exhausting making a record. Laboring over the details and making a group of songs sound whole. I've seen John, the guy in our band who handles most of that work, corner himself many times and then start to wonder "Does this even sound good anymore?" It can be brutal, especially when you're not even sure on which direction the record is taking.
It's quite rewarding to finish a song, record it, mix it and release it in a short period of time and move on to the next. We did this with a couple of songs in 2007 and it was nice to be done with them and focusing on new business.
Another great thing about singles is they can be a way of test marketing. With singles you can try out different styles that you're interested in a see what works best for you and your audience. In the Dance and Electronic world you'll see this more often. Producers will make a B-side that's totally different from their Normal or Expected Style and that B-side might take off.
Same thing goes for a one off single that doesn't fit an Album. Aphex Twin hit us with "Come To Daddy" and "Windowlicker" which were two tracks released after a long cycle of Full Length releases and they paid off. They went further outside of his expected sound and pushed things a little more. then he disappeared for a number of years, but that's a different story.
Bottom, line I prefer Singles, EP's and a constant flow of material from my favorite artists. Hopefully Radiohead can keep it up.

Install Damn You!!!
I've been watching this 10.5.8 update for about 30 minutes now and 10 of those minutes have said about 2 minutes remaining. Seems like most of these 10 minutes have been spent on updating the reciepts file.

How'd I Miss this one... New: Thom Yorke - "All For The Best"
via stereogum.com
It would appear that while I was busy prepping to get married Thom Yorke snuck out a new single for the "Ciao My Shinning Star: The Songs of Mark Mulchany" compilation. The album is a tribute to Mark Mulchany's wife and features an impressive line up indie favorites performing songs written by Mark and his band Miracle Legion.
The song "All For The Best" is a good balance of 'Eraser' influences, drum machines, darks pads, moaning, etc. with a strong percussive influence in the clacking of drum sticks and one-overhead-mic-in-the-room acoustic drums. Add a little screech of guitar distortion and you'll get the full picture. Check the Stereogum link above for more.

Most random find of the day...
While hunting for suitcases and jackets we stumbled upond this fashion Gem!
Productive Day (8/7/09) Just messing around with Posterous & m4a files.
This was recorded using Voice Memos on the iPhone 3G and was intended to go out on Friday, but since the recording is just over two minutes the file size is a bit larger than Mail on the iPhone was willing to support on a 3G network. So... it goes out today. I did another test using AudioBoo on Saturday but something was off in my settings config on AudioBoo's site so that post did not get pushed to Posterous, Twitter, FB, etc. Hopefully I'll get it all sorted out before My trip to Alaska at the end of the month which is where I'm hoping this will all come in to play to capture all of the cool stuff we're bound to see while we're there.

Music you should hear: The Prodigy - Warriors Dance
New Prodigy, is a lot like the old Prodigy, but a bit more concise. Not quite sure why they have to burn the place down though.
The new album 'Invaders Must Die' is really good especially if you've been a fan of The Prodigy through out their career. Personally I Enjoy the ravey sounds of the group more than the "Electro Punk" sound of the last two albums, not that they didn't have gems like "Firestarter", "Breathe", "Girls" & "The Way It Is" but as a whole album I think the rave vibe works better. Bust out your Baggy Jeans, Trainers and favorite glow products! 3.5 out of 5! -Joe

Morning Links: The Revolution will be Streamed!
img source: xkcd
Another Kicker from Bob Lefsetz:
"If you want to have a fulfilling, enriched life today you don’t start a band, you start a company! Is your desire to date Mariah Carey or have enough money to attract reasonable members of the opposite sex? Do you want to have people tell you what to do or do you want to be in charge of your own destiny? Tech is about innovation. What do they say, "Innovate or die"? Whereas in the music business it’s "I don’t hear a single."
Customer Service is the title of a recent blog entry by Bob Lefsetz, in it he once again draws parallels from the Music & Tech industries, both of which I'm interested in. I really like where Bob is going lately, Since I have my feet in both fields I can relate easily.

TechCrunch: Jason Kincaid takes a First Look at Lala’s iPhone App which will Stream Your Music Library From The Cloud. This is an important step in what is to come for all media. When the dust settles the end result for most users will be on demand cloud stored media. Music, Movies & TV will not be owned by most but streamed and subscribed to on demand. The next couple years will see stepping stones towards this end, but the bottom line will be access to everything everywhere when you want it. But you're saying "Wait this is no good for me, I'm a DJ, I mix and match beats and tempos, I just got use to CD's I can't just stream files and mix them, My Laptop will crash!!!" No worries you'll still be hoarding files, all of your fans however will most likely not. Resistance is Futile.

John found this video 1st, which seems to be a really well done fan video. I of course liked the song, dug a little bit deeper and found the 10+ minute live jam version.
The group is called Slagsmålsklubben or SMK, according to their MySpace they're from Stockholm and Berlin and they have a new EP out called Sponsored by Destiny, which is also the name of the song in both the video's above.

Music you should hear: Kutiman - Thru You
So John sent me this link the other day of a guy named Kutiman who grabbed You Tube clips of people playing instruments or singing and chopped both the video and audio of these clips into new songs and video's. When john sent me the link the original site was already down. I thought nothing of it, then John sent me a new link this morning. After watching all 7 videos I'm truly inspired. It's pretty amazing that Kutiman was able to make such interesting songs out of all these random bits of music. Using You Tube as your source material is a pretty savvy move as well. I'm immediately reminded of DJ Shadow & EBN, creating music solely of samples. It's refreshing and well worth a listen or two.

Making Music is Good
Just finished working on one of John's songs called Almost Better. I added some atmospheric layers to it, a handful of synths and tweaked the drums a bit. Think NIN's hurt meets The Cure's Lullaby. I think it's going to turn out really nice.
This makes 9 songs so far that are arranged and nearing completion that have been started in the month of February. This RPM Challenge is turning our to be pretty cool. We're under the gun now to finish these up and get them mixed be by the 28th. The pressure is on. Woo-Hoo!

Found these guys on Phlow Magazine. Great Instrumental music, very prog rock, great players and so on. This is refreshing to me because I've been listening to so much jazz lately that Sleepmakeswaves satisfy the complexity I'm apparently in the mood for but has enough electronics and ambience to make it fresh, modern and most of all optimistic, which is something I'm also really after in music lately.

DSP-044: Ghosts I-IV
Today on the show we have new music from Nine Inch Nails.
Last night, which was Sunday March 2nd, Trent and Company surprised fans with the release of a new Album entitled Ghosts Volumes 1-4, featuring 36 tracks of instrumental music spread across 4 volumes and available in multiple formats, including a semi immediate download from both NIN.com and the Amazon MP3 store. As you van imagine Trent's servers were instantly flooded and by 10 PM when I was attempting to download the album the site was basically moving at a crawl, so I bought the Album from Amazon.
There are several note worthy mentions about this release, Trent is releasing this album himself, It's available in mutliple formats including a free download of the 1st 9 songs, a deluxe and ultra deluxe package including a 2 CD package along with a Data DVD of Multi Track Sessions, a blu-ray dvd with slide show, and an Art Book. Plus it's it's being released as a bit torrent and is licensed under creative commons.
All of that is nice but how about the music? For this release Trent worked with the team of Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder with help from Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew and Brian Viglione. For the visual feel and aesthetic Trent worked once again with long time collaborator Rob Sheridan who in turn worked with Artist in Residence on the collection.
What you'll hear on the album is Elements from all of the NIN catalog dating back to The Downward Spiral fused with heavy amounts of modern computer crunchiness brought on by programs like Abelton Live mixed with moments of raw Einsturzende Neubauten like industrial rhythms and Skinny Puppy Brap like movements.
Upon 1st Listen some of the songs seem to short and have a feeling of being unfinished especially when taken out of context. But this collection of songs isn't meant for being on shuffle. It's a audio record of a 10 week period of experimenting and collaborating with friends that should be approached as more of an art piece than a pop record.
