The Nine Inch Nails / Janes Addiction tour has put some free mp3s and even wav files up for DRM free download. There are a couple of tracks by the Street Sweepers as well. I don’t know there music, but their tracks on the site are pretty cool.

I was on facebook today and saw a get money now ad. Out of curiosity I clicked on it. It brought me to some get rich quick scheme which was pretty entertaining. The best part was seeing this pic of him with his Ferrari and then the text underneath it.
Ferrari and Deuchebag
“I’m the guy you see driving down the street in a bright red Ferrari with the top down, and you stop and think to yourself, “What a fool!” And you know what? You’re probably right. But so what? Do you really think I value your opinion? I’m rich, I honestly could NOT care less.” – Ima Deuche
I think his words speak for themselves.
Remixin.com has launched a new music website. It’s a creative networking site for musicians, djs and composers to share their music and have other remix it. Each remix uploaded to site can also be remixed. Each song uploaded to the website spawns a Remix Tree that is generated as members evolve the music through interative remixing.

The example above is Tango Vega by Mantris. It is a second generation remix. The original was Canons for Larry by the composer Charles Dodge. This song was then remixed by Courtney Brown, then hers was remixed by Mantris.
The styles of the remixes range from art music to electronica to house. All styles are welcome. Here are two more samples for you, by Scotte B and DJ Derty respectively.

I hope that you will check out the site. I’m not only a fan, I’m also a member. Actually I founded the site. I guess that would make me a bit biased.
This a cool new site that has people contribute their pictures of themselves with an album cover. The trick is to get the album cover to become a part of your real world scene and snap a photo. It’s a great realworld mashup of sorts. http://www.sleeveface.com/

If you are using a mac or PC and want to add Vorbis (*.ogg) and FLAC (*.flac) playback to iTunes and Quicktime then these two apps are very handy. I just recently installed them and they work great. Fluke is used to add FLAC playback and XiphQT is used to add Vorbis playback. Instructions to install and use these apps are included on the Fluke and XiphQT websites.
FLAC and Vorbis are both open source compression formats. The popular mp3 and AAC (Apple) formats both have proprietary technologies in them. FLAC is popular with the classical music sect because it is a lossless format. 100% of the audio is preserved but less space is needed tp store it. Some popular artists like Brian Eno and Perl Jam have began to embrace FLAC as well. Vorbis is a lossy compression, like mp3, but it does not use propriatary technologies and some say it sounds better than mp3. For more info on these formats check out these links: FLAC, Vorbis.
This is another version of the #4, 7 min version previously posted. It’s recorded at monkeytown in brooklyn.
Brian Shelton (RSSO NYC) has mixed up a classic acid & chicago house mix for you. Two hours of music to take you back! I’m grooving to it right now.
