SXSW 2011?
here's some more info on the panel: http://schedule.sxsw.com/events/event_MP7775 it's about the online metal subculture, how it differs from other online music communities, exploring stereotypes and things of that nature.

Favourite Music Blog Design?
we've been talking about resurrecting the video show we had circa 2006-2008, called scene points. not really the same as what anthony does in the review/mp3 bloggy sense. i also remember when someone told us that we invented vlogging...but all…

SXSW 2011?
it's during the music part. it'll be interesting, since it's about a specific niche and i'll be the least knowledgeable person involved when it comes to the subject.

ITunes Songs Aren’t Purchased but ‘Licensed,’ Court Rules
but if most record deals have already been renegotiated in anticipation of a ruling like this — to make sure the downloads are still defined as "sales" contractually (which wasn't the case for this specific situation) — then it doe…

Who else is sick of the Beach Boy harmony reference?
@tsuru: yeah, that's definitely true. i grew up listening to the beach boys a lot, too, as well as tons of older music (rock and country). it's not that it's all passé per-se, but i didn't need to have that "life changing di…

Who else is sick of the Beach Boy harmony reference?
yeah, that's the thing, there's only so much you can do with vocal harmonies. so whenever you do any kind of complex vocal harmony that's not predominantly in minor keys, the beach boys won't be far behind and dennis wilson is de…

very few of my fellow bloggers share an appreciation for as wide a breadth of music as i do (from black milk to swiz — and i don't mean swizz beatz). that's one of the reasons i dig culture bully so much. what? we're not still talki…

Epitonic's original site is back temporarily — with all the mp3s in place!
i'm definitely curious to see if anyone would venture the highest donation to become an editor for a year. and i'm very curious to see what they have planned.

it is just that they still try and defend that decision as if it is good for us the consumer and how they've done us a favour that's been my problem with them since the beginning. i'm glad other folks are starting to feel the same way…

no, i don't think google is trying to steal anything at all. and since i worked in the SEO industry, i understand wholeheartedly why it's important for google to get as much information as possible. more advertiser money for paid search. …

i'm assuming the beta that exists now (which has been up for a while) is probably not the one that the new team will be launching. i just assumed it was still a go before i found out old staffers are back on the scene.

i don't doubt that they're nice dudes to talk to. but just look at the way they collect and control information — sometimes in kinda sneaky ways. and they are able to do it by cultivating nigh-indispensable services (gmail, google maps, y…

i wish i knew why it was back up. my guess is just to have something up until audiotube makes http://beta.epitonic.com/ the default and launches the full functionality. it'll suck, but at least they changed the actual site from the version 2.0 t…

saying that google IS going to the dark side makes it sound like it's still 2004. they succumbed to lord vader's wishes years ago.
