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.

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.

I was lucky to hear an interesting 5 minutes on FM radio while driving on New Year’s Day, I say “lucky” because I will reiterate, this is FM radio. Today’s Come-Up features Skillz reminiscing in his “2009 Rap Up” covering the inauguration, Bernie Madoff, to good ol’ Tiger Woods just to mention a few… I really thought it was an effective 5 minutes with a simple beat. Is this a good sign for good music on local radio in 2010? Don’t count on it.

Happy 2010.

Checking email during halftime (Lakers vs. Thunder,) and I hear a sick beat coming from the TV: and there they were, puppets are back to haunt us until the Christmas Day showdown. Sounds like something KRS would produce.

Hint hint… feel free to dedicate this to your valentine, even on Christmas! Enjoy.

OK, what really made me change it up today… wifey stuck a ten year old funny picture on our fridge yesterday: cutting in my mother’s garage, a setup literally next to the water heater, vinyl on washer-dryer from 1980, and one of ISP’s breaks on the 2s. Where’s the picture on geestreet? Well, I’d rather not.
