You spammers really make me smile. You make such an effort looking up blogs, trying to leave comments. You even take the time to write a sentence disguised with obvious meaning, just to make blog authors believe your comment is well worth publishing. The thing is, I just can't see how you can actually trick anyone with this. Even if your product was worth something -- who wants to find something

The Beastie Boys have released vocal tracks from tracks of their last releases. It's all free so you can remix their voices using your own tracks. This is pretty cool... I haven't decided what to do with it yet, but I'm sure there will be something new coming out of it. This is how real artists think if they're not intimidated by greedy lawyers and big entertainment labels.

Last night when we rented L4yercake, Mike went to bed, Eliza stayed up for about 20 mins of the movie and I , well I stayed up all night. It was like an e-mail from an old friend; the lead character reminded me immensely of both my roommate from New Mexico and my roommate from Switzerland, kind of a concentrated combination of the two. The plot was tight with interesting and satisfying twists and

Once in a while I get restless. In such cases, it's rather futile to resist the giddy feeling in my bones. I can try dancing it off. Or I can take out my bike, or simply jog around the block. But in the end, the only thing that really helps is facing the restlessness. There are two kinds of cure that will work most times. One, take a moleskin book and a pen and start drawing. Or I sit down in

Wired 13.02: Why Wilco Is the Future of Music The band Wilco and its quiet, haunted leader, Jeff Tweedy, is something different. After its Warner label, Reprise, decided that the group's fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, was no good, Wilco dumped them and released the tracks on the Internet. The label was wrong. The album was extraordinary, and a sold-out 30-city tour followed. This success

I watched a movie with a collegue last night, it might be helpful to inform you that english is not his first language, at one point he asked me what do you call that, pointing to the little girl on a swing. I asked him what does it do, (a week or so earlier a Brazilian friend of ours pointed out that most english names for things were merely a discription of there function: for example a can

Yesterday I helped a friend of mine (he is also a member of this site) to bring his DJ set back home. On the way we discussed a party we had helped organizing. It was the party of the place where he had spun and from where we took back the DJ set. We talked about what was great with this party and what went wrong. And we were both in agreement that while in the end everything had worked out

Every once in a while you find that gem among all these websites about music. One you've never heard about before you looked at it first time, but you can't think of living without after. Opsound is such a website. Its purist attitude and richness of content transmits an almost zen-like experience. Here is a summary of Opsounds own description: Opsound is a record label and sound pool using an

I had this domain for the longest time. Way before corebasis.com. After initial attempts to make it a business website, I decided to wait and focus on my other project, core. Which over time turned out to become something completely different. So it proves again to me the beauty of the web as an organically growing, evolutionary life system. You nourish it with what you come up with, but in its

On Monday 24th, the San Francisco Chronicle covered blogs in a story in its Technology section. It's titled "Web logs come of age as source of news". Along with the article they also feature side stories and a simple guide on how to start your own blog. Pretty neat for a daily newspaper. It shows how much blogs have entered the minds of the wide public. I wonder when my dad will be asking me what
