Notice the sine wave? Notice the 1 and the 0? Notice the visual play on analog versus digital? Crafty.

MFY?

Google has no explanation for what this sticker could possibly be for.

Thanks to a new Google group I just joined, I get awesome new music in my inbox every day. I was running seriously low on good music. There’s only so many times I can listen to Portugal. The Man before it gets old, and even Kid Cudi radio on Last.fm is becoming repetitive.

I didn’t mean to imply that I hadn’t listened to the Black Keys before I joined the super fun music group, but I was uninterested enough in their previous albums that their newest album’s release would have gone unnoticed to me. I actually really like it so far, though. Until it’s released on the 18th, you can listen to the whole thing on NPR.org.

I can’t figure out if I fucking love this band, or if they annoy me to no end.

Paste magazine thinks they’re phenomenal, so I guess I’ll follow the the crowd for now…

Winamp rules. This song in FLAC rules.

Frolfing today was awesome, but Hannah didn’t come, so maybe frolfing was not awesome.

It’s profound eloquence like that that makes me think I should’t be blogging.

Grooveshark has a negligible amount of Smashing Pumpkins songs, and Deezer only has horrific covers. So for the first time, I uploaded a bunch of songs to Grooveshark tonight, 139 of which were Smashing Pumpkins. It says that they will be reviewed and added to my library within 24 hours.

I wonder what that review process is. Are there certain artists or songs that are blocked? There’s no way a human could do all the reviewing, there must be way too many songs uploaded every day. So is there an algorithm they go through to make sure uploaded songs not on the black list? Do they just look at the song’s metadata and compare the song title & artist name against a database? If so, you could just change the songs info to something false, then upload it. Or perhaps they use acoustical signature recognition like Shazam?

Maybe I’m over-thinking it because the *NSync albums I just uploaded are already in my library. Apparently they don’t go through too much scrutiny.
