Finally, Another Update…

And thank god its a music-related update. Having spent some time this weekend setting up Ampache (3.6 Alpha), a swift 2nd attempt but this time on a Windows server instead of Linux, I was introduced to a service I’ve overheard music lovers rant about. Last.FM, as implemented if you scroll below, delivers what I’ve unconsciously would dream about every time I’ve entered musical zones during my commutes… dating back to my adolescence where there was always an urge to broadcast & (literally with paper & pencil) record every track I’ve “felt,” thinking the “sharing” would benefit the world to take notice of quality music never aired over the AM and FM dial. This “sharing” word had taken its meaning to another level today, its crazy, and we could save the subject for another post. As private and shy I was (and still am), this probably explains why I performed w/ bands and DJ’d numerous events (94-01). Requests were always denied, and would rather spread noise from everything in my crate to the rattle of my drumsticks.. and this here probably explains why I never made a career in music! Last.FM does provide nice streaming options and good information from what was tested so far, but the glaring ads that swarm their site could definitely take a hike. One more note… because I refuse to upgrade until my phone is physically doomed, all of this music is streaming from a Blackberry (OS 5.0) if not from a desktop… yes… a Blackberry.

After revealing how I listened to this album, I must say RedDot came clean with theOTHERSIDE, there seemed to be mad preparation and goals, and it appears they never fell off track… Enjoy today’s [...]

• The modern snowboarding era reminds me of the modern DJ’ing era… where everybody had suddenly become one or the other, or even both – with sick gear and evolving skill (dont mean to disrespect). Was fortunate to grow up in both worlds, extremely fortunate for big brothers that covered me financially. Couldn’t help but comment as I prepare my family for the boarding season, that I continue to literally sit my ass in front of my workstation dreaming to leave off where I stopped in ‘99. Well, I’m actually joking, sitting my ass is prohibited at our household: If my wife and I aren’t standing, we’re probably lying down asleep. So the moral of the post? Nothing really, just happened to be immersed in both worlds at the moment. #
