Dust to Digital

That’s what this kind of preservation work does. It gunks up our machines. It makes us rethink what we believed about our history.

Saw a fantastic show from The Decemberists last night. They played for about two and a half hours at the Crystal Ballroom. Great live performers.

Rap is both a ladder up economic strata and what you play on your headphones while you climb. If rap could listen to music, it would listen to rap.

Getting some light work done before flying up to Spokane for this weekend. Soundtrack for the morning has been Sonny Clark. Damn I love working from home. 🙂

A cool thing in Rdio is watching music spread through your network. The digital equivalent of passing CDs around at lunchtime.

The new Rdio

It’s no secret that I love Rdio. Today’s update makes it even more fantastic. The updates make it a smoother experience overall. Really looking forward to digging in to the changes more after SXSW.

I’m really enjoying Parov Stelar this afternoon. Props to Beau and Daniel for the recommendation. Great mix of horns and techno to work to.

The Hood Internet – Trillwave 2. I’ve had mashups on repeat this week. Something about the beats and quick changes that meshes well with support requests. A lack of mashups is one major failing in Rdio. (via Kottke)

Downloaded the new Kanye and Jay-Z album to my phone with in-flight wi-fi while flying up to Portland. The future is now.

Every company meetup should be required to have a Rock Band party. Seriously awesome night tonight.
