The Willie Mae Rock Camp For Girls: just another example of why New York is cooler than New Hampshire. Photo by Rocco Kasby, performance by the Pink Slips.
Yet again, a tip of the hat to Ryan Eby for the pointer.

You might think Lene Alexandra may be trying to break into the American market with this video, but the 25 year old Norwegian native, model, and reality TV show veteran announced she’s just getting started:
In 2007, after four years of work for C+C Records, I got myself my first record deal, and I’m sooo [...]
Ryan Eby pointed out PodBop, a site that podcasts sample tracks from bands coming to your area (or any other area you select), and we both wished we’d thought of it ourselves.
There’s nothing coming to Warren (of course). But they’ve got coverage for Denver, where I’ll be in May, so it immediately found a place [...]
I can’t get Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long, from The Magnetic Fields‘ 69 Love Songs, out of my head. This entry is an attempt to kill this earworm by posting the lyrics. If this doesn’t work I’m checking out Maim That Tune.
Fido, your leash is too long
You go where you don’t belong
You’ve been digging [...]
Simon Mahler did the audio for Benjamin Stephan and Lutz Vogel’s Trusted Computing movie. The movie is good, but I realized I was letting it play in the background just to hear the soundtrack, so I finally looked up Mahler’s fotone.net and found the three free song downloads.
It’s good stuff, but I’m wondering where [...]
Thanks go to Jenny for the link to the They Might Be Giants podcast!
And all that brings up something I was too lazy to figure out before. Interestingly, it became an issue now only because I was also too lazy to look for the TMBG podcast in the iTunes podcast directory. It turned out to [...]
Michael Sauers pointed out Q-Unit, a mashup of Queen and 50 Cent. They’re sure to have Disney (the rights owner for Queen’s catalog) on their back soon. At least, it didn’t take Disney long to shut down The Kleptones, whose “A Night At The Hip-Hopera” has a spot on my iPod.
And that’s where the story [...]
I can’t really pass as an undergrad anymore, but they still let me in to Friday Night Rock to see The Mountain Goats.

Memepool.com points out that the folks at Supermasterpiece are claiming priority over Britney Spears’ Oops ! I Did It Again. Their story is:
“Oops ! I Did It Again” was recorded in April, 1932 in a Chicago studio, most likely Nearlie’s or West and Fourth. Cut for the Decca label by Louis Armstrong and elemends of [...]
The news came out last week that the biggest music consumers — the ones throwing down cash for music — are also the biggest music sharers. Alan Wexblat at Copyfight says simply: “those who share, care” (BBC link via TeleRead).
Rather than taking legal action against downloaders, the music industry needs to entice them to use [...]
JazzMusique (RSS, stream) treated me to Freight Elevator Quartet’s So Fragile (from their Becoming Transparent album) not long ago and I liked it enough to take a note to look them up later.
The band released five albums between 1997 and 2001, but seems to have disappeared since. Their site is still alive, and most entertainingly, [...]
