Tom Ewing: Compromise & Entitlement →
And it seems to me that moving from a system that delivers an OK solution for everyone to one that delivers an optimum solution to some is a classic Tragedy of the Commons. It doesn’t feel like a Tragedy, because the people who used to police these particular commons were dickheads. But it’s not just journalists and label execs who are going to find the new bargain less satisfactory than the old...

philip sherburne: What I Like About Wonky →
Anyway, this mixtape by Jamie Vex’d has just about everything I like about wonky right now. Those things include screaming leads, pitch-bend, beats that feel like they’re telescoping to a full stop, underwater sounds, sounds that sound like bongs in Tron would sound; talcum-clouded handclaps; zipper-factory field recordings; angelic choruses, demonic choruses; back-masking; rimshots;...

Ahead of the Curve: Blitzen Trapper | mtvU This is the video I posted about here. Turned out pretty nice, right? That weird synth line in the background is the SK-1 playing vocal samples pitched up and down. It sounds completely absurd — midget druids, robo-Stonehenge, chopped ‘n’ screwed crazy frog — and I still can’t believe they actually used it on camera. ...

marathonpacks: Animal Collective "My Girls" →
Like the star of his own zombie film, Lennox wants to escape the necessity of imagining himself in the same way that corporations do: as part of a social sphere set up like a market. His language betrays what he wants to escape—speaking self-reflexively, statistically, in the same way that companies refer to their brand images. Some interesting thoughts in here.

Portland hometown heroes, unstoppable as usual. Can’t say Duane comes off very well in this article, but yes, they do make great coffee. Surprised they haven’t infiltrated San Francisco yet…

Two Really Good Blog Headers
The blog header: it’s an important, and often completely overlooked art form. So many blogs just opt for boring old default Blogger template text headers — but some are doing it right! To me, taking the time to come up with some kind of design for your blog shows that you’re taking this thing seriously (OK, this guy excluded), putting the time in, putting some paint on the...
