Ice Chewers Bulletin Board - All about Chewing Ice... →
Really? A forum to discuss ice-chewing? Why do I feel like 4/5 of these people have eating disorders?
Possibly the most glitchy man in the universe (er,...
Normative, LLC, part one
I want to pretend that the major labels were each hit with a hydrogen bomb, and now all these musicians are standing around, asking, “What do we do now?” I want to answer that question.
The word normative refers to defining norms.
The company Normative works by asking, How should this be? and then pursuing that conclusion uncompromisingly.
It embodies my complete disinterest in...

This is a gem from a Tumblr I just started following. And man oh man, Nail! Head! HIT!

Time to Go.Grabb.it →
“Go.Grabb.it tracks thousands of music blogs, band sites, web zines, and other pages around the web to find the parts of the global online music conversation that are relevant to you.”
These guys are friend of a co-workers and we talked with them. Their service sounds pretty sweet and I’m excited to check it out. They track down the posts and features that a certain band has...

Irish music seems like it has a great community around it and I’m more than a little jealous of it! Here are some of the best Irish music blogs out there.

The Life Cycle of a Blog Post, From Servers to... →
I like the idea of content having a life of its own after you release it into the wild of the internet. This is a good exhibit of what happens to it before its devoured or spit out by the masses.

I asked on Twitter for a better way to handle my iTunes library and my friend Dan sent me a link to this article. I’m going to read it later and learn. I just want to be able to use iTunes to have context with albums since it seems like the most natural way for me to track how I learn, feel and listen to albums.

This is a really interesting read. I don’t like the amount of self-importance that the internet bestows on select individuals. I really appreciate that everyone has something unique and awesome to share with other...
moutain goats "sax rohmer #1" Music Video →
New video from the Mountain Goats. I don’t generally think of him at all in terms of music videos since he’s such a prolific songwriter. But this visual element adds a nice dimension to his work.

Kaki King- ‘2 O’Clock” mp3
Beautiful song! Lovely lady vocals and the guitar part is definately classically- inspired.
Funny, I was just reminded of someone belly-aching about writing about music. Writing about music only works when the reader and the writer have the same or a similar frame of reference in the meaning. When I say classical guitar, I mean classical...

The Punjab- by Excepter
This song is the effing JAM.
I’ve been unable to stop listening to it for WEEKS. Give it a try. Practically hypnosis.

I don’t use tumblr to be followed. To be honest, I use Tumblr for selfish reasons. I use it to bookmark things I personally want to save, to take notes, or capture images I enjoy.
If people want to follow along, go for it, but I can’t be bothered with worrying if it is annoying someone else.

Srvivial of the Fittest
I was just looking at my Tumblr Dashboard, going from page to page, thinking, Shit, there is too much stuff in here, I can’t keep up!
Then I remembered, I can just stop following a few of them, until the bandwidth is reasonable again.
Tumblr is a rare website whose social network has real meaning. If you just accumulate “friends”, your experience will become unusable.
