Wie es um 4 Uhr morgens auf dem Charles de Gaulle Flughafen klingt!

Fri, 08 May 2009 04:06:21 GMT

My songs were featured on a German online radio show (links actually came from here), I can't find an mp3 to download, but the gist of it was about free music in these troubled economic times. I don't know how they found me but I'm stoked! (Although I think they misunderstood the meaning of "What Am I Supposed to Do?")

"We hear what it sounds like at 4 in the morning in Charles de Gaulle Flughafen" they totally got right, though.

Pacing The Panic Room:

It was so 13 year old angst and the tears and the shaky voice just leapt up and out, and the grown ass man hiding inside my brain was like, "Holy shit, you are losing it crybaby."

Robert Gomez - On This Day

NPR:

Notably, Pine Sticks and Phosphorous is the first of Gomez's LPs to be recorded almost entirely in a professional studio. Though Gomez is technically a "solo artist" and writes the songs, parts, and arrangements on his own, a number of talented musicians join him on the record, including Sarah Jaffe, and members of The Polyphonic Spree, Midlake, and Postmarks, giving Pine Sticks and Phosphorous an impressive, full band sound.

I wanted to write a profound post for Good Friday. It didn't happen.

Just go listen to this Radiolab.

I did have the realization that Christianity is possibly the most emo religion, like, evar.

What's really important is simply the satisfaction of finding all the eggs.

...

Functional programming may be the ultimate answer, but method chaining is the productivity lock people wanted to crack.

Our Weekend, April 4-5, 2009 from Daniel Miller on Vimeo.

First on Saturday we trained it downtown for our customary bacon and pancakes at Cindi's.

Then on Sunday we had french toast at home, then drove down to Deep Ellum with friends for the arts festival there.

Thanks to everyone who hung out and had so much fun with us!

I mentioned Son Lux before. I'm still pretty obsessed with his record. I forgot to mention he has a bunch of stuff online for free. Here is a list on his blog.

Little bonus: Here's the song I'm obsessed with. (I am a drummer after all.)

Son Lux "Break"

I'm a little obsessed with this record at the moment. I'm not a huge fan of this video, but it's ambient enough to work.

This video, however, I am a huge fan of:

videos from blogotheque.net/Why-et-Son-Lux ...there's one more on there too. I'm currently downloading it since vimeo seemed not to be with the working.

I've been meaning to mention this for a while, but you can download Who Killed Amanda Palmer for free on Bandcamp.

Amanda Palmer is this amazing artist formerly of The Dresden Dolls. She's also an entertaining tweeter.

Don't normally subscribe to anything he says, but this was good stuff

Scobleizer: Why Facebook has never listened and why it definitely won’t start now:

My former boss, Jim Fawcette, used to say that if you asked a group of Porsche owners what they wanted they’d tell you things like “smoother ride, more trunk space, more leg room, etc.” He’d then say “well, they just designed a Volvo.”

Tim Berners-Lee returned to the birthplace of his invention today, 20 years after submitting his paper ‘Information Management: A Proposal’ to his boss Mike Sendall. By writing the words ‘Vague, but exciting’ on the document’s cover, and giving Berners-Lee the go-ahead to continue, Sendall was signing into existence the information revolution of our times: the World Wide Web. In September of the following year, Berners-Lee took delivery of a computer called a NeXT cube, and by December the Web was up and running
