Opening The Pod Door

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:25:29 GMT

Quality has been sacrificed for convenience in most consumer electronics (as well as music in some unfortunate cases). The push-button, instant gratification driven products outsell the ones based purely on performance. This has the Hifi community up in arms. These people cringe at the mention of why not lose yourself in it occasionally? You may find it a pleasant departure from th... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

"Addicted To Oil" Thomas L. Friedman Reporting - strong thoughts

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:22:02 GMT

I recently watched a documentary entitled Addicted To Oil, Thomas L. Friedman Reporting (2006). Admittedly, I am not familiar with Thomas Friedman, but some of the blatant omissions (or challenges) in the supposedly informative film left me wondering about his intentions, and his credibility.

Radiohead Is Truly Writing Majestic, and original Music

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 07:07:07 GMT

Radiohead' s most recent, In Rainbows , is the melodic future. It is Music as honest expression performed from internal necessity. This is NOT re-writing already great music, as many do profoundly well. This is writing new music. Soul, beauty, and morose execution illuminates tonalities as diverse as the band members themselves.
