Warner Music Tries (And Fails) To Make
Friends With Music Bloggers
08/16/2004 06:48 AMMP3 blogs have been getting a lot of attention lately. The blogs,
which usually focus on certain genres of music with the idea to
highlight or expose certain new or obscure acts to a wider audience
are growing in popularity. They often post an entire MP3 as well.
However, it appears that some of the attention directed at these blogs
made it to some executives at Warner Brothers Records. In a moment of
enlightenment (considering typical record company reaction), instead
of trying to shut these sites down, they decided to see what would
happen if they embraced them. Someone from Warner
contacted a number of
these blogs, including an MP3 from a band they wanted to promote.
This is somewhat surprising, as many of the sites certainly expected
to get sued before they received MP3s from a major label. Still, the
effort had its problems. The musician had already been featured
months ago on some of the sites, and didn't fit at all with the focus
of some of the other sites. Plus, the fear of looking like record
company lackeys didn't appeal to many of the sites. Even worse,
though, was that on the one site that did post the tracks, a number of
out-of-place comments began appearing talking about how "awesome" the
band was. A quick check of the IP addresses of the posters, though,
showed they came from... Warner Brothers. So, while it's really great
that they're actually trying to embrace these sorts of promotions,
they still need to learn a thing or two about dealing with bloggers.
Still, it's clearly a step forward from an industry that hasn't made
many steps in that direction recently.

Nuclear feud
Nuclear feud
12/27/2004 07:17 PMSunday's
New York Times sheds light on the underground
nuclear supply network of AQ Khan -- designer of Pakistan's nuclear
bomb who transformed himself into a nuclear entrepeneur, supplying
designs and technology to such nations as Libya and Iran. The story
identifies the emerging fault lines between the key international
organization set up to monitor nuclear proliferation -- the
International Atomic Energy Agency -- and the Bush administration. The
lack of cooperation, the authors, William Broad and David Sanger
suggest, enabled the Khan network to operate longer and in a much
wider potential market than it could have had the information and
intelligence been shared.

bikrammed madonna
I left LA around noon, to make it back up to Oakland by 10pm, maybe
time to meet Amy after her
flight and eat some Korean food. And I had a brief Scream screed due
for TheFeature.
Just partway up Highway 5 from Los Angeles and Allison makes
contact - I met her through this site, emailing and posting comments.
I interviewed her years ago as part of Links.net folks but I
haven't posted it yet. "I have a lot going on," I said by way of
apologizing. She verbally punched me.
That was over oysters. She invited me to take the road past Santa
Barbara to get back to San Francisco. It's a longer road but I had
already missed meeting her on my last drive in February. So I arranged
to stop in her town yesterday. I suggested we grab a bite to eat
before I hit the road. She insisted we do some hot room Bikram yoga. That was
her plan last time and she met all my whining about deadlines and
driving with teasing and pushing.
So I found myself in a bikram yoga studio in the prototypical
California resort town. It's like doing yoga in a sauna. This Bikram
guy was pictured on a poster in the room, twisted around himself with
immaculately coifed hair sitting on top of an animal skin, on the
beach. What kind of a yogi sits on a pelt?
The room itself was a non descript facility in a mall, with extra
heating units abounding. Man that place smelled strong. The funk.
Months and years of hot human dank. I'm imagine if that yoga sweat
studio ever moves out and some poor clothing store tries to set up
there, that room will never stop smelling like old pores.
Our class was lead by a late middle-aged looking man wearing a
headset. He kept up an incredible steady banter - sportscasting our
suffering. This was only possible, I figured, since he wasn't
performing any of the incredibly ass-kickingly hard exercises he was
describing. Sweat was running into my nose, into my eyes, my knees
were slipping against each other, my shorts were wet, I touched my
slick and slimy skin. The towel beneath me was wet with sweat. I did
all that I could, skipping parts of only a few exercises. 90 minutes
of hard yoga in a hot room - I couldn't decide whether to vomit or
pass out. I drank a ton of water. I threw death threats at Allison
with my eyes - for inviting me into this hell.
All the while, this guy is talking about the monkey mind and
encouraging us to look at ourselves in the mirror. Never been to a
martial arts or yoga tai chi type class where I was so encouraged to
look at myself. 
Red face ribs showing huffle puffle
wet hair and bony knees. I kept trying not to look at the lady in
front of me, with a tight body and a massive boob job. Boobs popping
out the side of her tank top, as she's standing on one foot, grabbing
the other and lifting her arm. Crazy boob job and yoga.
It was a throttling experience - I did feel quite high afterwards.
Like I wanted to sit in a swimming pool or lay on a wood bench and
feel all my chakras coursing with chi. Drink an assload of gatorade
and eat a pile of cheeseburgers. Here's a picture of Allison and me,
just after class.
Driving back, scenic tour
through Santa Barbara - I blasted Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" off her
IPod, "a place of neverending happiness, you can always see the sun,
day or night" and I watched some very white teeth and light colored
hairs turn towards our cruising station wagon. She pointed out
Brophy's near the ocean, and I suggested we top off our workout with a
dozen raw oysters. We traded stories and laughed good and hard.
Then I did have to hit the road, for all my work and wanting to
sleep in my own bed. 8.50pm at a small rest stop near Gaviola I talked
with a lone-riding biker lady, coming back from her place in Montana,
at the end of a three days ride. She suggested I had at least five
hours to go. Shouldn't I drive across the state some, to hit the
straight-shot 5 freeway? No, 101 is a beautiful drive. At night? I
asked, incredulous. It's not worth driving over to the other freeway,
she promised.
Another hour of driving and I realized I was tired. Too tired to
keep on - I could have had a Red Bull energy drink to stay awake. But
what would Bikram say? I decided not to push myself hard and bleary
eyed pulling towards Oakland two am no food no lights not safe. Why
not sleep full eight and drive straight in the day light?
Working mobile/internet, CHecker tried to find me a
room from some OddWorld local
San Luis Obispo Indie Game
Jam veterans. Too short notice - happily, I ended up in the magic
grounds of the Madonna Inn.
One of America's great hotels - kitsch embraced and extended through
every fixture - each room a unique homage to some aspect of travel or
location. A great attitude too; this solo driver was offered a $95
rate for a night in Swiss Bell. Stone
walls, waterfall shower, wooden ceiling. As close as I've been to the
style and brilliance of Love
Hotels in my birth nation.
 |
| I sat in a chair and pounded out my assignment, using my Treo 600 mobile phone
as a 150k bps modem since the Madonna Inn may be the last bastion of
true 'merican taste but it only has dial-up. |
 |
| Then I laid in bed, admiring the hand-painted broad wooden
armoire, very much Swiss-like. I watched Hosni Mubarak on
C-Span, waiting for him to give some insight into modern Egypt.
Instead he was asked mostly about Israel and Palestine.
Sigh. |
 |
| When I woke up this morning, the stained glass swiss cows and
flowers had come alive. Behind the windows, trees and a grass covered
rock pile. Beautiful! |

05/03/2004 01:01 AMLessig surveys the battlefield in 'Free Culture' When future
generations of search bots look back at this unsettled era in which
we're transitioning from an analog to a digital society, they may be
impressed most by the works of Lawrence Lessig. In his first book,
Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, dark forces were gathering,
conspiring to use code as a form of privatized law to hem in the
Internet and the potential of the digital revolution. Readers learned
that the Net, far from impervious, could be tamed by rewiring its
architecture. The premise seems obvious now, but only because Lessig's
1999 ground-breaker connected the dots for us and set the scene for
the struggles to follow.
