August 20, 2008 – 9:03 am
The New York Times has an article on NYC bike racks designed by David Byrne. I like em:
In my mind this fits next to his blog as a reason to think of him as a creator in the present rather than a legacy act whose relevant work is in the past.
He’s like a silent [...]

Embedded player for the new David Byrne + Briane Eno album:
Byrne’s comment on the site:
For the most part, Brian did the music and I wrote some tunes, words and sang.
I like this music.
When I first listened to this via the embedded player I had a hard time getting over my distrust of [...]
gurdonark interview quotes
August 5, 2008 – 10:56 pm
Lots of great stuff in this interview with gurdonark:
I do not see patents and copyrights per se as an unworkable situation. I do oppose artificial term extensions. Yet I am perfectly comfortable with reasonable protections for artists and innovators.

July 29, 2008 – 12:31 pm
There are now about ten third party recordings of “Offend Maggie” up on CASH Music, and most of them *aren’t electronic*. These are live bands which took the trouble to do a killer version of a brand new and fairly hard song.

digitalmusicnews sez:
The sinking CD is often contrasted against healthier music industry segments like touring, publishing, merchandising, and advertising. But sales of music instruments are also quite healthy, and a reflection of an ever-increasing demand in music.
Against that trend, big boxer Best Buy is now stocking up on musical instruments, according to details revealed Monday. [...]
Deerhoof ‘offend maggie’
July 23, 2008 – 12:35 pm
Over on CASH Music, Deerhoof released a new song as sheet music, and did it under a Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike-NonCommercial license. Their version is a nice hand made piece of writing with a good vibe, but it’s easier to work with this stuff if it’s digitized so I retranscribed their source into Sibelious. [...]

May 20, 2008 – 12:08 am
This forum thread on bradsucks.comnet about where community members first heard his music is a great source of data on how internet musicians should prioritize distribution outlets.
A quick undisciplined survey of the results:
14 soundtrack (Brad Sucks’ music was used as a soundtrack to a video, and the forum poster followed a link [...]

Jon Udell has posted an audio conversation between us over on IT Conversations.
Jon’s very Charlie Rose. Great talk guaranteed.
I wanted to follow up on an exchange about making mistakes on your instrument. Here’s an audio excerpt:
Imagine that we lived in a world where all photography was the kind you see in magazines. [...]
