Remixing creativity

Remixing creativity 05/27/2004 05:05 PM

CC staff favorite and Magnatune artist, Brad Sucks recently started releasing the source to his most popular song, Making Me Nervous, and asking folks to contribute remixes. Like the Jim's Big Ego remix project we're got going on here (which can get your remix onto national radio), Brad's now got six remixes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and someone making a video for the original.

It's pretty cool when artists open up the process to their fans, and let creativity flourish. Heck, even a commercial success like Jay-Z can see there 's money to be made in providing remixes that provide eventual benefit to both remixers and the original artists.

Remixing Museum Audio Tours 06/05/2005 11:16 PM
In the New York Times, Randy Kennedy writes about a homemade audio guide for the Museum of Modern Art, “The creators of this guide, David Gilbert, a professor of communication at Marymount Manhattan College, and a group of his students, describe it on their Web site as a way to ‘hack the gallery experience’ or ‘remix MoMa,’ which they do with a distinctly collegiate blend of irony, pop music and heavy breathing. It is one of the newest adaptations in the world of podcasting — downloading radio shows, music and kitchen-sink audio to an MP3 player.” [May 31, 2005]

Remixing Google's Search Results

Remixing Google's Search Results 06/02/2004 11:07 PM
It appears that there are a lot of folks out there who are trying to "remix" Google's interface. The one that got the most press, of course, was A9, who built an entirely new interface to searching Google. Then, there's Prog (formerly Proogle), which adds in PageRank info to Google search results. Now comes the news of an application called MoreGoogle, which tries to add additional features to the Google interface to make it more useful. I haven't tried it (and some folks may be a bit wary to download a random app and let it hijack their Google searches), but the article suggests that the author of the program just wanted to make the Google interface more useful. Once the program is installed, it basically watches over any Google searches, and alters the results to make them more useful: adding in thumbnail images of the website and adding an "open in new window button." The application adds in some new text ads, that appear to be part of AdSense (this isn't clearly explained) in order to get some money back for altering the Google interface. Obviously it would be pretty simple for Google to add these features themselves, and it's unclear how legit this particular app really is, but it's still very cool to see people trying to "remix" Google results to make them more valuable. Of course, there's a pretty good chance that Google's lawyers might not find it as cool.

Remixing "Construction Kits" are the
future of the music industry? 04/23/2004 04:26 PM
Inspired by the Jay-Z Construction Set (a CDROM and .torrent full of Jay-Z vocal tracks, samples and art, intended for remixture), Ernest Miller has written a shrewd editorial about a potential path for musicians to engage their fans with their work through the release of similar kits -- he likens this to videogames that encourage players to invest in making or seeking out custom mods.

Many videogames permit players to create new content for the game engine, such as levels, maps and mods. This new content is freely distributable (at least for noncommercial purposes) and frequently incorporates content created by the original game designer along with new user-created content. This has been incredibly successful for videogame companies. The more content there is, the more popular the game becomes. The ability to create and add content creates feverish and committed communities of fans for a game. Imagine if musicians had such communities working for them.

Companies Who Can't Take A Joke, But Can
Push A Lie 02/12/2004 02:16 PM
It's no secret that, on the internet, if you don't like something and try to get it taken down, you're only going to draw a lot more attention to it. However, corporations still haven't gotten this message. They seem to get especially annoyed at parodies, complaining that people might be tricked by them. Here's an article that takes these companies to task for not being able to take a joke, while at the same time having so-called "independent" organizations that are paid by them set up advocacy websites that are nothing more than a front for the company or group in question. In other words, companies get upset about advocacy that goes against them and try to force the sites down, worrying that people will get "confused." At the same time, they're hiding the fact that they're behind these other advocacy sites (which, some might say is confusing readers, as well). As the writer of the article points out, even if they're right, they're doing themselves harm by not being upfront and honest about these sites: "The more successful the strategy in the short term, the more it will eventually corrode trust in the long. People persuaded by such sites will feel betrayed when it becomes evident they were duped. And it won't even matter if the pseudo sites have truth on their side: when a messenger is exposed as an impostor, their credibility is destroyed." Another example of short-term thinking from corporations that do them much more damage in the long term.

Not An April Fool’s Joke

Not An April Fool’s Joke 04/01/2005 05:24 PM
Just foolishness. The XML Binary Characterization Working Group has issued their f inal report which recommends (surprise, surprise) that the W3C produce a “Binary XML” specification. Elliotte Rusty Harold nails it. I don’t care if anyone wants to go off and produce their own data interchange format, binary or not, open or not, standardized or not, mapped to XML or not; as long as they don’t call it XML. “Binary XML” is an oxymoron. And I should point out that the people at Sun who are building a binary data format with a mapping to XML are calling it something else entirely. These Binary-XML people are charging headlong onto the top of a very long, very steep, very slippery slope. [Update: Further joy. I see that this poorly-labelled table asserts that XML prevents both “processing efficiency” and “forward compatibility”. Glad to hear it.]

We may miss Scott McNealy's jabs at Microsoft, but the money from the recent settlement will inject new life into Sun, which badly needs a transfusion. Many of us are just now coming to grips with the most serious implication of the April 2 settlement between Sun and Microsoft: Scott McNealy's keynote speeches just got a lot duller. The Sun CEO has made a career of his stand-up routine over the years, entertaining thousands with such classic zingers as calling Windows the "giant hairball"; Active Directory, "Captive Directory"; and .Net, "Dot Not" or "Not Yet." And, in case of computer crashes, "Call 1-800-CTL-ALT-DEL."

South Park does the "Aristocrats" joke. (WARNING! Windows Media file, very very not safe for work.) "The Aristocrats" is a long-lived comedians' in-joke--or, rather, an extraordinarily filthy joke that's not really a joke. (Gilbert Gottfried knocked 'em dead with it shortly after 9/11.) Now it's going public (sort of): Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza are making a movie featuring over 100 comedians telling their own versions. The South Park version linked above is "not even in the top 5 for dirtiest." Yikes!

Don Park on the Google IPO

Don Park on the Google IPO 08/21/2004 03:48 AM

Don asks what's the big deal. His point of view is interesting.

It's very true that Google has failed to keep up with the "search engine optimization" tricks that cause links to porn sites to show up on our Referers pages and blog post comments. As we've said here several times, and thought many more, Google is the place where this practice should be stopped. It's because of Google that our sites are littered with links to these offensive sites that have nothing to do with ours. If they're smart enough to come up with tricks like Google News and Local Google, why can't their search engine recognize comment and referer spam and not use it in determining page rank? Of course they can. Why don't they? I'd love to hear an explanation. Better yet, I'd love to see them fix it. It's a bug in Google's software.

Maybe secretly Google really doesn't like blogs. Maybe it's not so secret. They still haven't deigned to support the standard format for syndication, as every other tech company and major publisher has. Why Google has a stake in breaking the standard is another puzzle. How does this relate to Don't Be Evil. We've asked this question a few times, only to be met with the usual Google stone wall.

This is not a public company but they have public stock now. And while they think they're real special, like Don Park, I'm not so sure they are. I made $800 on my Google stock yesterday, that paid for my hotel and gas and then some. But I'm paying for their deafness in other, imho more important ways. This is a company that desperately needs competition, and I hope they rise to it, instead of folding, as the previous Silicon Valley wunderkind (with the same backers) did.
