I had heard about this project a week or so ago. I had no idea it was going to made available so soon, or what the terms of use were, or how absolutely kick ass the service would be. I'm talking about Pandora, a music service that lets you set up unlimited channels of music that it helps you select based on artist or song reccomendations you make. It then proceeds to emulate your taste. You can edit out any songs you don't like at any time. Best of all you can opt for free service(site will display ads) or paid service(ad-free).
Update: You can share your stations with friends via share/e-mail link Too cool for school!

Realized while I was looking through my ITunes that there were many songs that got passed over due to my sorting by "date added." So expect a series of shows featuring stuff that got re-shuffled by"name." So today we begin with the numbered stuff and the "A"s. Play a promo for FreeCulture.org, one of my favorite activist groups, and give a shout out to the CC-home fries man-congrats on his happy 100th!

2005-12-29T16:50:00.000+08:00

Photo By James B
So much talk about the Longtail these days in the blog/podosphere. Concept originally espoused by Wired editor: Chris Anderson late last year. I offer some different spins on the Long Tail concept/philosophy as well as some possible applications in my own life. Play some new songs along with a few favorites previously played over this past year. Give a shout to Frank Key from Resonance FM-The Hooting Yard, thanks to Steve Eley for referring. The clock tick, tick, ticks. Closer to the New Year-new opportunities.

Big Heart to Match?

painting by Todd Mohr
Todd Mohr of BHTM fame is a fairly progressive-minded guy. In addition to being eclectic musically(their music incorporates, rock, folk, jazz and blues elements) Todd is also a philosopher , podcaster, and a visual artist as well. Kudos to him and the band in their endeavors to adopt the Creative Commons licensing model/etchic for their music. The best of luck to them.

Mark,
Been real busy with a lot of things. Hope you are well. I've beendoing some PR preparation ... for the band's winter tour andconsequently our new business model. It's been a bit of a hairy ride but exciting. ... we would be possibly the first band of our size to adopt a free culture model. ... In the mean time, I've been trying to educate my bandmates and others on why this is an important move for Big Head Todd and the Monsters, as a definitive change in how we relate to our audience. Your audio bits were very helpful. Thanks also for expanding my contacts, I haven't reached out to anybody yet, but intend to soon.

Happy holidays
Todd

Speaking of kick-ass women in rock, oh... was I not speaking of such women? I am now-namely Kristin Hersh of Throwing Muses and now 50 Foot Wave. Kudos to Kristin and the Wavers for going Creative Commons on new EP and putting it up for free download, purchase or donation, ala other CCers like Jonathan Coulton, Brad Sucks, Simon Steadman, etc.

Did I mention that it kicks ass as well? Ah, aging and pre-holiday business. Check out cute holiday themed video by Brendan with The Waitresses-Christmas Wrapping music track.

RIAA-free CDs

2005-11-27T09:35:00.000+08:00

A holiday gift guide for conscientious music-lovers

Parents hounding you for a holiday wish-list? Unsure what to buy for your friends?

Gift-giving has gotten harder since the Recording Industry Association of America came to town. The cartel of the biggest record labels has made a name for itself by suing families for downloading music, lobbying for massive expansions in copyright control, and including nasty DRM that limits fair use rights on their CDs. It's hard to support an industry which treats its customers like that!

Dave talks about many topics including the liberation of not giving a "rip" about what people think about you, to his finding out about the "Gentle Readers" .

Words not to be taken lightly...

2005-11-23T14:16:00.000+08:00

Recent Free Culture News' guest Dave Slusher had these magnanimous comments to offer:
"Mark Forman’s interview with me has been published. As an obligatory old media dig, I will note that very few of the print reporters I have spoken to in the last year were this engaged. In fact, Dan Conover might be the only one. My experiences with the national press is that they generally weren’t very insightful, curious, nor did they even seem to be listening very hard. Check out this interview and let me know what you think."

Words uttered by a man that doesn't suffer fools. Guess what? Part 2 of interview, the "Chocolate" part is even better. Keep your eyes pealed! Thanks, Dave!

Thanks Ken for Banners!
Sony BMG Saga: The Recall, Open Source Questions
And there’s a new wrinkle: Software writers discovered “at least five functions” in the copy protection software on Sony BMG CDs that are identical to code from an open source project. Here’s the thing about open source projects: the lesser general public license does not allow open source in larger, copyrighted applications. From a post at BetaDot: “While the violation was probably not a fault of Sony’s, rather a lazy employee who decided to just copy and paste the code which someone else had already written, rather than write it himself, the violation is still quite clear and needs to be dealt with.”

Mr. Ed was smarter than these "maroons."

Run , Don't Walk for Rock n Roll TV Net

2005-11-19T14:34:00.000+08:00

I can't tell you how tickled I was when I found out a couple of kick ass rockin musician friends are raising the bar on their creativity. They're now producing Rock n Roll TV.Net which is like a "punk" VLOG version of MTV except much cooler, playing only "core" indie bands with host Share Ross giving Amanda Congdon a run for the money, when she reports the news. Share and husband Bam, 2/3 of the hard rockin' trash/glam rock Bubble are as adept with video production as they are with guitar and drums. Their Rock n Roll "street credibility" is totally sound with stints in The Wildhearts, Dogs D'Amour, Vixen and now Bubble. The Bluesman says, "Be there or be square!"

Stay tuned for updates on Share and Bam guesting on FreeCulture News !

Flattery will get me everywhere

2005-11-16T15:11:00.000+08:00

Big Props to my fellow co-conspirator in DVoices, Brad P("P" has got to be for hockey puck), and podcasting buddy "Evil Terrapin" often coming way out of his shell as "Podcasting for Dummies" co-author: Evo Terra. Here is a link to some truly "liquid" (or is that "liquored") audio. "Live from Podcast Expo. These 2 managed to say some nice things about me before they passed out in a Porta-Potty. Don't ask me folks, I just read the news.

Stop Our Naive Yearning for lame product

2005-11-16T14:36:00.000+08:00

The major labels real problem is ineptness
My people with Downhill Battle-Music Activism say it "like it is", when it comes to greed-head music labels that tell us bold face lies, on behalf of the "artists" they are trying to protect. Artists are just "product" to them to be "hawked" while it can, for as much as it can, while we "suckers" pay exorbitant amounts of money for inferior product, with precious little of that going to the musicians. Sony/BMG we like to be "kissed" before we get screwed. Your profits are falling so you think the way to compensate for that is to try to screw us to the floor, spy on our playing/ripping/burning habits by sneaking little "digital bombs" in to our property, and "kamikaze" blowing up on us, when we try to "exorcise your little electronic demons."

Well enough is enough, you were cool when you came out with the "Walkman" back in the days of founder and visionary Akio Morita. Now you guys are just a bunch of bums and has-beens with Samsung whipping your ass; technological bully's climbing up the trash heap of imminent extinction.

Hey Sony, see ya, wouldn't want to be ya!

What do you say, what do you say-lot's going on today. In addition to Chap 4 from Free Culture, we have new remix inspired by Fox New's Bill O'Reilly's outspoken remarks about San Francisco. Here is mp3. It is a remix of Public Enemy's No Means No from the The Wired CD: Rip. Sample. Mash. Share.

News items today- 4 from Boing Boing reporting on continued Sony killing it's credibility with it's customers:
Sony will stop shipping infectious CDs -- too little, too late
Bill O'Reilly would like terrorists to blow up San Francisco's Coit Tower
Sony's *other* malicious audio CD trojan
New Sony lockware prevents selling or loaning of games
I raise the question,"Wouldn't it be reasonable for Sony to fix or replace any computers that have been violated by it's rootkit/malware, and perhaps EFF or Lawrence Lessig want to file class action lawsuit against them?

Of course, we have some Creative Commons music as well:

Please do so, Dave Slusher pictured here is graciously donating the bulk of price($25 of the $35 cost) to Pakistani earthquake relief through end of Nov. You get a kick ass CD from the Gentle Readers, an EGC t-shirt, and maybe even a hand written note on George Carlin joke memo pad.

Background music: Highlife 4:14 Sonny Sharrock Band
What I will remember most about Sonny Sharrock even before the music will be the laughter... the sense of humor The fun We laughed a lot We laughed at the conditions that we had to tolerate to continue doing creative music We laughed at the reaction the response to that music from the journalists, the audience, even the musicians In fact we laughed the hardest at the musicians ...

Free Culture Manifesto

The mission of the Free Culture movement is to build a bottom-up, participatory structure to society and culture, rather than a top-down, closed, proprietary structure. Through the democratizing power of digital technology and the Internet, we can place the tools of creation and distribution, communication and collaboration, teaching and learning into the hands of the common person -- and with a truly active, connected, informed citizenry, injustice and oppression will slowly but surely vanish from the earth.

We believe that culture should be a two-way affair, about participation, not merely consumption. We will not be content to sit passively at the end of a one-way media tube. With the Internet and other advances, the technology exists for a new paradigm of creation, one where anyone can be an artist, and anyone can succeed, based not on their industry connections, but on their merit.

We refuse to accept a future of digital feudalism where we do not actually own the products we buy, but we are merely granted limited uses of them as long as we pay the rent. We must halt and reverse the recent radical expansion of intellectual property rights, which threaten to reach the point where they trump any and all other rights of the individual and society.

The freedom to build upon the past is necessary for creativity and innovation to thrive. We will use and promote our cultural heritage in the public domain. We will make, share, adapt, and promote open content. We will listen to free music, look at free art, watch free film, and read free books. All the while, we will contribute, discuss, annotate, critique, improve, improvise, remix, mutate, and add yet more ingredients into the free culture soup.

We will help everyone understand the value of our cultural wealth, promoting free software and the open-source model. We will resist repressive legislation which threatens our civil liberties and stifles innovation. We will oppose hardware-level monitoring devices that will prevent users from having control of their own machines and their own data.

We won't allow the content industry to cling to obsolete modes of distribution through bad legislation. We will be active participants in a free culture of connectivity and production, made possible as it never was before by the Internet and digital technology, and we will fight to prevent this new potential from being locked down by corporate and legislative control. If we allow the bottom-up, participatory structure of the Internet to be twisted into a glorified cable TV service -- if we allow the established paradigm of creation and distribution to reassert itself -- then the window of opportunity opened by the Internet will have been closed, and we will have lost something beautiful, revolutionary, and irretrievable.

The future is in our hands; we must build a technological and cultural movement to defend the digital commons.

Ooh-the Bluesman just loves all that. Gives me chills. Everybody-Fight The Power, more correctly-,"Let's Take the Power Back!"

Cooperation through the ether

2005-10-31T14:08:00.000+08:00

Just got a gracious affirmation from author John Hodgman, "Areas of My Expertise."

2005-10-24T15:19:00.000+08:00

GLU's favorite student organization: Free Culture, has a drive going to "Bring Dead Art Back to Life."

What the hell?

Ever wanted to bring something back from the dead? Well, you still can't revive old Fido, but you can bring dead art back to life! Most art doesn't make it into the history books – in fact, it's often seen by only a handful of people before it vanishes into dusty oblivion. [More]

But now, thanks to a growing movement to use Creative Commons licensing and the public domain to keep art available and reusable, it's possible to breathe new life into art that would otherwise be forgotten. Best of all, it's legal!Link

Well friends here we are, with a little bit of sadness(I'll miss Julius and Dan) we arrive at the conclusion of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom podcast. Fortunately, Cory continues to dream and brainstorm and write, write, write. I hope to read more of Cory's work in the near-future. Please listen to next podcast series: Free Culture. The content deals a lot with what Cory deals with at his day job- a non-fiction book that is fascinating, written by a true scholar, but reads like a novel.
