File-Sharing Case Worries Indie Artists

AP - Recording industry executive Andy Gershon sees opportunity in the online file-sharing networks that most of his rivals decry as havens for music pirates. As president of V2 Records, home to such established acts as The White Stripes and Moby, Gershon mines such Internet distribution channels for new fans and revenues.

Indie pop cares a lot! Sure, you could buy a tsunami relief album from famous or even religious folks, but wouldn't you prefer to get a free cd as a reward for your generosity instead? South Asia still needs your help< /a>, and some fabulous indie rockers (including a number of songfight celebrities) have pitched in to entertain your earhole.

For fans of The Long Winters, stream this 'no love for ned' radio show and fast forward to about 1:02:00. The band does a few live songs in the studio using the equipment available (a laptop, an acoustic guitar, and old electric guitar). The band rearranged their songs for the stuff on hand and it's always interesting to hear new takes on songs you've heard many times before.

Status anxiety 'Every adult life could be said to be defined by two great love stories. The first - the story of our quest for sexual love - is well known and well-charted. The second - the story of our quest for love from the world - is a more secret and shameful tale. And yet this second love story is no less intense than the first.'

State of the Artists

My latest article for TheFeature.com is now online. It's about art that incorporates, and sometimes critiques, mobile technology:

"Research laboratories are the avant-garde art galleries of the 21st century. That shouldn't come as a surprise though. Art is a lens through which engineers can raise tough questions about the science fictions that they create, and we inhabit."

Cuban artists

Cuban artists 01/07/2004 04:27 PM

One of our friends has a young Cuban lover and she goes to visit him there periodically.  This situation spurred some reflection:  "Why are there so many artists and musicians in Cuba?"The next thought "Well, why not?"In the U.S. when Johnny decides to ignore his family's advice and take up oil painting or guitar playing instead of investment banking it is a big crisis.Johnny is very likely giving up the opportunity to own real estate, send his kids to private school, and otherwise enjoy the great festival of materialism that is the United States.  In an economy with hardly any opportunity, however, why wouldn't a person choose to do art or music?

Art doesn't require a lot of capital investment.  You really just need a crayon and some paper (or scissors and paper if you were Matisse).  If human ability is equally distributed across the globe you'd therefore expect the best art to come from the poorest countries where people have no competing bourgeois job offers.  Yet paradoxically the art for which people are willing to pay the most money seems to come from advanced economies such as Germany, England, Japan, and the U.S.

For the comment section:  Why?

[I'll start by throwing out a personal opinion:  art can only touch you if the artist shares a similar social and economic environment, which is why Westerners mostly like the art that is produced in Western countries; art produced in poor countries is actually much better but we can't appreciate it because, despite heavy doses of ecotourism, we can't understand the milieu in which it was produced.]

If you're in LA next week, head over to the IAF video art festival Tijuana-Los Angeles on Saturday June 26th, 2004. Takes place at LA's Mexican Cultural Institute on historic Olvera street. Videographers, visual artists, and DJs/sound artists from Tijuana, the D.F., and Southern California. The event should be great fun. Link, and remember: not this Saturday, *next* Saturday. (Thanks, Sal)

One less worry in life

One less worry in life 02/01/2005 08:45 PM

I'm an adult now and I have a home and savings and have all my bills in check, but I can never forget what it was like being 18 with my first bank account, back when using an ATM was like playing roulette (and like any form of gambling, I walked away empty handed more often than with any cash). So even though it's been ten years since I've left an ATM empty handed, I can't get an irrational thought out of my head every time I use an ATM: that I'm surprisingly and suddenly dead broke. It's sort of an adult version of the "waking up naked at the exam" nightmare I used to have in college.

Until now. I was poking around my small town credit union website and discovered a new alert feature, where they send an email based on your account activity. So I setup an automatic email that goes to my cellphone's email address when the checking account is below a fairly comfortable level. The feeling didn't leave immediately the next time I used an ATM, but after I saw the feature work when a bunch of bills went through, I now know that it is instantly wired to my bank balance, even when I'm far from a computer.

A lot of stuff I've read about simplifying your life involves removing all those little irrational worries that clog your thoughts and keep you from getting things done and living happy. In addition to this small thing, I've been to the dentist for the first time in years and removed the other big irrational fear that my teeth would fall out any day now. It's been nice to remove these worries from my life forever, as I've got a whole bunch of new worries lined up to deal with. :)

Microsoft has called in the FBI to locate the source of proprietary Windows source code circulated on the internet, but customers have nothing to fear at this stage, the company says. Carol Leishman, Microsoft NZ’s communications manager, says the leak hasn’t compromised the security of computers and the company is treating the theft as an intellectual property infringement issue.
