I was a junior in high school when I got into ZTT Records in a huge way. Apple’s Ping may have a long way to go as a social network, but I have to admit it’s a huge thrill directly interacting with a musician I grew up following.

I’d had a stressful workday plus an afternoon commute in one of the nastiest traffic environments the U.S.A. Thankfully the iPod knew exactly what was needed and served these up on the way back to my hotel.

I don’t often do this sort of thing, but this is a really great deal and it only lasts one day…
For a while AmazonMP3 has been offering some crazy good one-day deals via Twitter. I’ve gotten a few really good albums for almost no money, and today’s is a really special one.
There are no hidden affiliate links or anything, it’s just a really good deal worth spreading around.
Disclaimer: I think (but I’m not positive) this is a US-only deal. Also, if you’re reading this after 2008-Nov-30 (Sunday) you’re already too late, sorry.

We rebooted our Muxtape over at moodmat, and I took the opportunity to push a long overdue refresh of my personal mux at the same time. No criteria here, it’s just a bunch of music I like. No themes or genres or anything else, just tunes.

So
“Fairplay Version 3” apparently has the ability to
handle expiring content. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say
that Apple could, if they wanted, apply the same expiration logic
to music. Steve Jobs has repeatedly stated that customers
don’t like to rent their music, and the relative success of
online music sellers (e.g. iTunes, Amazon, eMusic) as
opposed to renters (Rhapsody, etc.) would seem to bear
that out.
Still, it’s an interesting new wrinkle.

We were able to get right up to the main stage. Apologies for the crappy YouTubiness of the video. Enjoy.

I’ve been pretty quiet around here, lately. One reason is that I’ve been working with good friends Dan Sicko, Aran Parillo, and Matt MacQueen on a new collaborative music blog.
We are proud to present moodmat.
Most of my future music-related posts will go there, but everything else (technology, personal, travel, and all those other bloggy things) will continue to live here.
