  • Visit Plague Music on Turntable.fm

    I haven’t been quiet about being addicted to loving Turntable.fm.  I took a break from Turntable for about a week, only to be reminded how awesome a platform it is when I came back.  The ability to see immediate feedback to the songs you play is almost better than DJ’ing at an actual club or party… (read…

  • Turntable.fm: A place for DJs, wannabe-DJs, music snobs, and — interestingly enough — musicians to hang out

    I’ve been playing on turntable.fm for the last couple weeks.  I’ve been on the site so much that if my wife sees a window with a funky red curtain that looks like a cartoon version of the White Lodge in Twin Peaks (enough that I expect a dancing midget to start talking backwards at me at… (read…

  • Google Music: The revolution you’ve been waiting for is (still) not here yet

    A month or so back, Google announced its new plan to take over the world: Google Music.  No one was really sure what it did, but it was made by Google and it had something to do with music, so it had to be good right?  Oh, and there was something in there about syncing…

  • A new take on digital music

    There hasn’t been much on this blog of late.  That’s primarily because, in the topsy-turvy world of Upstart Blogger/Ashley Morgan, there hasn’t been much going on.  Sure I could comment on the 4 different name changes his “rec…

    Random Song of the Day #21: HORRORFALL covers KMFDM

    Is this a BATTLE of the ALL CAPS BANDS?  Well, maybe, but it’s also a new (and for a limited time, downloadable) track from your favorite indie industrial project from the City of Angels, @HORRORFALL (if they aren’t, they should be).  This was one of the first KMFDM tracks I ever heard (besides, maybe “A…

  • Netlabel

    A little bit about me: I went to a University with an adjunct program that allowed students to create their own individualized majors (it’s called the Johnston Center).  You see, my interests and passions were too diverse for me to settle with one single field of study.  We didn’t have letter grades — that doesn’t…

  • Create a pop hit in 8 hours

    This is something I would never do: try to create a hit pop song in 8 hours.  It’s not that I couldn’t, it’s that I wouldn’t.  These guys, on the other hand, did.  I think it’s awesome. You can download their song, “Lights, Camera, Action” here.  (right-click, save as…)

  • Random Song of the Day #…uhh…14

    Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve done one.  I’ve been waiting until I had a chance to figure out which one of @TheBoyEllis’ songs on Soundcloud I should use.  In the meantime, this one comes courtesy of @tpbdotorg: Now I’m going to go download his album, which you can do, too, right here.

    MLK

    I’m not the type of person who likes to commemorate or memorialize the occasion of a day like Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  For the most part, my observation of any holiday is whether I choose to take the day off and (at least since my son’s been in school) influenced by whether G has…
