(This might interest) Maybe Just Me…

So I installed tangerine and it totally kicks! I’ve started to tell everyone about it. My friend just picked up running with his new Nike+ kit (we’re currently in a tight race using the Nike+ challenge!) and I told him about it and he is all about it. As am I. All my tangerine based playlists are named “Tangy X.” I’ve only made a few, and it’s dope that they have built in profiles for different kinds of playlists (BPM rising and falling, “hills,” etc.). Though if you want to talk about party/jam mix cds, according to Barney of “How I Met Your Mother,” it should be “always rising!”

Go get tangerine, from the potion factory!

I’m at work so I can’t download and try this little app. But I’ve high hopes that it is what I’ve been looking for for so long. (”For for?” Can that be right?) These days I have so much new music that I set my nano to shuffle by album so I can listen to it all, but normally I shuffle all, which means I am skipping songs left and right. I hope this works as well as I want it to. Follow-up to follow once I install and try it out.

tangerine, the beat counting app!

You can DJ too!

I don’t have the patience to sift through all 10+k and growing tracks to pick a good mix. Which is also why no one ever asks me to make them a mix cd because I just toss tracks in with little thought to the flow… hahah

Remember when bands didn’t really let their music to be used for all kinds of crazy marketing? Or even regular marketing? It’s not really selling out as the industry goes now, but I just saw a TV commercial for “King Kong” and was annoyed to hear Coldplay’s “Fix You,” which I really like, used in the commercial… grr.

all movie music internet radio station

plays blocks of genre specific movie and tv music. so dope. i love film scores.

MSN - News - Foo Fighters Double the Music

got the new foo fighters, i like it. haha, one more reason to like dave grohl:

d.g. on pricing the album only $1 more than a standard single disc release and on the decision not to release two albums instead of one.
“…and I don’t need any more money. I’m fine, thanks”

Apple - iTunes - Slurpee

apple teams up with 7/11 to give away music. unlike the pepsi thing apparently every cup is a “winner.”

CNN.com - Ringtone leapfrogs Coldplay tune - May 25, 2005

so sad. not that it beat out coldplay, who while overhyped i still like, but that a ringtone was released as a single and will top the charts.

NBC.com > Hit Me Baby One More Time

happy that i’ll get to see some of the fave bands from my youth. sad that it’s come to this. haha, i didn’t really read the show info stuff, but i hope they forbid them from doing new music and only make them do the “classics.” arrested development - tennesee, mr. wendel.hahha… i think in a promo/commercial i saw that boyz ii men were going to be on the show. god they must’ve sold like 4 copies of their last album (came out last year). i didn’t even buy it and i’m a big fan.

“It’s the quiet ones you have to watch. China’s pretty quiet, but it’s also very great. When we’re all speaking Chinese in 20 years, people will say, ‘Well, I didn’t realize—they were awfully quiet.’

hmm, i don’t know how many people would agree with that statement. hell, in the U.S. it’s probably in 20 years when we’re all speaking Spanish. hahah
