Would Love To Hear Your...........
Not only did I not post a 2010 favorites list, I actually did not have ANY favorite albums for the year. I could never find one where I liked more than half of the songs. I do have a list of about 100 favorite songs for 2010, though. Among the…

A Sincere Humble Request To Help "Grandpa" With This.....
Hey Dave! Yeah, I am out of the blog game. It was eating up all my time, and I wanted to do other things. I haven't written a post in about a year now, and I haven't been here either in longer than that. That hasn't stopped me…

What's Your Angle
What do I do differently on Speed of Dark? Hmmm, well, I am older than most rock music bloggers, so I have a little different perspective and my taste is influenced by all the music I have listened to for over 40 years. I weave personal observati…

Thomas -- do not be ashamed of your Zen micro. I have a Zen V (not the plus). I have had it for years now, and I am still very happy with it. Congratulate yourself that you paid a reasonable price for a versatile and effective music-playing d…

Mars Needs Guitars "The End"?
I can't tell you how relieved I am to see this message, and you have no idea how many other people will also. A large community out here cares for you. One of your own readers wrote to me, begging me to do something. I am very sad for MNG,…

Wow, Vic and Matthew--I really appreciate your saying that--it puts weight on that side of the argument.

Maybe me. I need to get some balance back in my life. My obsession with blogging has caused me to abandon too many other important activities. It has been a relief the past three weeks to just not do it.

I have been linked to as a reference for a band on wiki too. It's cool.

Transcribing audio interviews
Squashed is right that speech-recognition software must be trained. My husband has been working with Dragon (which is not free). He likes to record ideas for business reports while he is driving, then have the software transcribe it to text. The …

Stereogum and DMCA Notices
I also view Stereogum more as a business site rather than a blog, somewhat similar to my view of Pitchfork. It isn't on my blogroll, and I go there only randomly--like Pitchfork. I'm pretty neutral about it, but it doesn't repres…

Hype Machine
SF - Hype Machine likes the bit rate to be 44100 Hz, but most songs released for the public are recorded at that rate. Those comparatively few I have had that are recorded at other rates I usually obtained from self-recorded artists who were not aw…

Late coming in on this, but I will back Dave up about spaces in filenames. Most of my filenames have spaces, and Hype has no problem with it. I don't have any ideas to offer because it doesn't make sense to me either that MNG is the only …

That is just WRONG. And also why I don't even try to be 100% legal, although I highly respect those who do (nod to Muruch and Fingertips). There is not much reward for the extra effort.

Record Store Day - What did you get?
I was too busy with Coachella, plus I have no place in my house to set up my turntable or store LPs. Not much point in buying them. Hey, Bryan-- I'm sorry to hear about your poor puppy. Hope he's doing OK.
