I’ve been shopping around for an iPod dockable portable speaker system for awhile. Some friends have Altec Lansing boom-boxes that they are pretty happy with so I looked to see what they have available. For $150 I ordered the im600 from the Apple Store and after figuring out my new address, they had it here [...]
I woke up feeling a little creative this morning and didn’t feel compelled to put together shelves or unpack boxes. So I dug out my Korg EA-1, plugged it into my midi box (which finally has Leopard-compatible drivers) and whipped-up this little bit of synth noise. Junk Drawer.mp3 (192kbps VBR MP3) or Junk Drawer.m4a (177kbps [...]
This is just a shout-out to my heavy rotation page which I just updated. It’s got a list of some of the albums I’ve been listening to a lot lately, though to be honest, anything in my collection right now has to compete against the staggering “In Rainbows” by Radiohead. Since getting the disc box, [...]
I updated my online music library today. It’s been overlong. The current stats are 8436 songs, 27.3 days, 56.3 GB. That’s for a Smart Playlist gathering all checked tracks and excluding videos and podcasts. If including the full library, I’d have 12863 items, 41:12:51:32 total time and 82.34GB. This week I had to deselect a [...]
Last night was a rare and special treat. Jacob was in town on one of his many cross continent adventures to see the Jimmy Swift Band and I tagged along finally, having missed them on his previous several visits. They did not disappoint. The small venue had a few enthusiastic supporters and the band performed [...]
Y’know? The goods. Products. I went looking for some music the other day and came away empty-handed. Best Buy and the Future Shop keep terrible music on the shelves. Oh sure, there’s some good stuff, but where’s the Electrelane? And the Clientele? October Guard and the I love you but I’ve chosen darkness? It is [...]
Hi blog. How are you? We don’t talk much anymore, do we? I’ve been on a bit of a tear lately, adding some new items to my music collection. Some great, some not so great. In the great category, I have just discovered The National and their new album Boxer. Anthemic, gloomy rock with a [...]
Jacob rightly pointed out that I should drop a mention to galleryAC here, since I was talking about services that provided DRMless music. I pointed out that he could’ve left a comment to which he replied, not unexpectedly, that he doesn’t do that (unless you’re a girl). boolean is listening to: 1985 from the album [...]
