KVRwiki - the great KVRAudio site has launched a wiki for audio info.

Hello to everyone coming in from Boing Boing. My server exploded under the weight of everyone trying to download my source files and remix album at once, but things seem better now.

I’ve had to take the remix album MP3 files offline temporarily and I’m trying running everything else through Coral.

If you can, please use Bittorrent to grab the remix album and source:

Here’s the I Don’t Know What I’m Doing Remixed torrent. (96 megs)

And here’s the I Don’t Know What I’m Doing Source torrent. (560+ megs)

Thanks!

Bandnews.org - a slick and very smart aggregator of band news. Great idea.

The new revision of ccMixter launched today and it’s looking pretty swank. You can see my new page here.

Besides the nice new design, I like the addition of the podcast buttons and RSS feeds. I’m now subscribed to the Brad Sucks remix feed, which is way easier for me than sorting through my disgusting mailbox.

One day when I have some time to goof around with it, I’ll whip up a Wordpress plugin to import that list of remixes onto my site here.

I’ve been trying out Pandora. It’s a Flash-based music player (first 10 hours are free), you enter an artist or a song that you like and it tries to find similar music for you. The data is based off the Music Genome Project which is described this way:

Together we set out to capture the essence of music at the most fundamental level. We ended up assembling literally hundreds of musical attributes or “genes” into a very large Music Genome. Taken together these genes capture the unique and magical musical identity of a song - everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It’s not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about who buys their records - it’s about what each individual song sounds like.

Pandora’s interesting and while the songs do tend to resemble each other in a superficial sort of way, after an hour of listening I can’t say I’ve found anything I like. It seems “major key tonality, mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation and extensive vamping” doesn’t really get to the heart of my musical taste.
