Morning Links: The Revolution will be Streamed!
img source: xkcd
Another Kicker from Bob Lefsetz:
"If you want to have a fulfilling, enriched life today you don’t start a band, you start a company! Is your desire to date Mariah Carey or have enough money to attract reasonable members of the opposite sex? Do you want to have people tell you what to do or do you want to be in charge of your own destiny? Tech is about innovation. What do they say, "Innovate or die"? Whereas in the music business it’s "I don’t hear a single."
Customer Service is the title of a recent blog entry by Bob Lefsetz, in it he once again draws parallels from the Music & Tech industries, both of which I'm interested in. I really like where Bob is going lately, Since I have my feet in both fields I can relate easily.

TechCrunch: Jason Kincaid takes a First Look at Lala’s iPhone App which will Stream Your Music Library From The Cloud. This is an important step in what is to come for all media. When the dust settles the end result for most users will be on demand cloud stored media. Music, Movies & TV will not be owned by most but streamed and subscribed to on demand. The next couple years will see stepping stones towards this end, but the bottom line will be access to everything everywhere when you want it. But you're saying "Wait this is no good for me, I'm a DJ, I mix and match beats and tempos, I just got use to CD's I can't just stream files and mix them, My Laptop will crash!!!" No worries you'll still be hoarding files, all of your fans however will most likely not. Resistance is Futile.

SMK - 6 Swedes pick up where Kraftwerk left off.
John found this video 1st, which seems to be a really well done fan video. I of course liked the song, dug a little bit deeper and found the 10+ minute live jam version.
The group is called Slagsmålsklubben or SMK, according to their MySpace they're from Stockholm and Berlin and they have a new EP out called Sponsored by Destiny, which is also the name of the song in both the video's above.
Here another called Smedby Eyes
Rave!

Tesla unveils the Model S The New $50,000.00 all Electric Hotness is a 5 seater/5 Door Sedan that will travel 300 miles when fully charged, has removable batteries and takes 45 minutes to recharge.
Now there's a goal, to be in the market to buy a $50,000.00 Sedan in 2011. I think I can do it!

Morning Links - Peter, Bjorn, John & Flavor Paper
It's looking to be slow week business wise so I'm beefing up on my study's (Objective-C) and Apple store visits. I'm also testing Carbonite as viable off-site back up solution this week. It's been available for Windows for a while now and it's finally Mac compatible so I'm going to see how well it handles a couple hundred GB's of data. I'll keep ya posted. Off to the Gym!

Morning Links:
Art:
New Orleans Studio, Flavor Paper screenprints wallpaper by hand. Very cool stuff.
Music:
Peter, Bjorn and John Perform for KEXP during SXSW. I Listened to this podcast this morning and loved it. I really enjoyed the sound of just three guys hopping around on instruments keeping it really simple in terms of out put but intricate in arrangements. Worth at least one listen. ;)

End of Day Links - Fuzzy Dinosaurs
It's been a long day. I've been supporting windows on a MacPro all day. It's not my specialty so my brain is mush. I did however make some really good use of my new neat scanner when I got back to the office. I love it! Tonight I dig into another chapter or two of Objective C. Booyah!
Some Links of interest:
Fossil hints at fuzzy dinosaurs The beautiful thing about Science, new information is found and scientists are ready to embrace it... as soon as they can prove it, of course.
Mac security researcher wins Pwn2Own contest with Safari hack
Curious to see what the hole is and when it'll be patched.

Mid Day Links - A Whale of a Good time
A whale of a Good time These poor fish never had a chance.
Cash In!!! DJ AM wants all the money!
Dr. Ge Wang and Smule are the future. Dr. Wang is a smart and very creative guy. The music business of tomorrow will be run by guys like this.
I tether, you tether, we all tether.... soon.
Interesting letter from Moby to Bob Lefsetz.
"I had a quasi-epiphany last year when i heard david lynch talking about creativity (and forgive me if this sounds new age or hokey).
he talked about how creativity in and of itself is great, and i realized that he was right.
and i realized that, ideally, the market should accomodate art, but that art shouldn’t accomodate the market."
If anything it makes me curious to hear his new record.

In other news I'm beginning to tip my toes into the world of Objective C. I'm not sure where this will take me but after the iPhone 3.0 OS announcement yesterday it seems like a good place to start. I'm also dipping my toes into the beginning stages of planning my wedding, very exciting, in addition to putting the finishing touches on a new Marqui Adora album and relaunching the Datasound Podcast. Very busy and exciting times.
