I downloaded it last night and am very impressed. Audacity is an open source multi-track recorder that get’s the interface right and makes it easy to start editting music files. Now all I need is a decent open source drum machine that exports to .mp3, .ogg or .wav and away we go 🙂 PC, Linux and Mac.

The Unsexy List
Nerve’s list of the 50 most unsexy things put a smile on my face. Gotta pass on some humor in the face of reality. After all “Underemployed” is the new norm for all too many. Then again it’s great to have some mis-notions shattered in this Foreign Police piece Think Again: International Trade.
On a different matter entirely – you want to buy Alice Cooper’s latest. You want to buy it. You want to buy it. You want to buy it.
P.S. – I love this pic. Ya gotta love it.
Hey – is there anyone else you know that can hop from Nerve to Foreign Police Magazine to Alice Cooper? Hehe. I must be messed up on some level….

A great, great, great post at Metafilter.
The Stupidist List Of All Time
Head on over to Shannon’s to discuss the stupidity of RollingStone’s piss-poor list of The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
No Ace? Van Halen way down at 70? Kirk Hammet (who wouldn’t EXIST without Eddie) at 11? Kurt Cobain at 12?!?!? How can he even be on the list?!?! Friggin’ stupid.
Go to Shannon’s to vent.
The VMAs sucked!
Why? Why? WHY?!?!? Why did I let myself think it would be any different then the last few years?
There needs to be a MTV2 Awards show. No – better yet – a real competitor to MTV needs to stand up. There is great music out there – and I’m sure great videos – they deserve to be seen and heard.
Johnny Cash don’t need MTV and it’s a shame that MTV missed a chance to be something more then just advertisement.
Man did it suck. It was like a car wreck. Never – never – never again!
Johnny Cash and the MTV Music Awards
Yahoo!: Johnny Cash May Steal Show at MTV Awards. via saint some days. No video since Metallica’s “One” has been so powerful.
Lyrics matter again
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – bad times brings good music. Honest music. Read Kelefa Sanneh’s piece in the NYTimes on Dashboard Confessional, and the long existing, just getting noticed (mainstreamed) emo scene. People who say today’s music sucks only look where the marketers tell them to – or where their nostalgia drags them.
Blogathon 2003 was yesterday
Shannon Campbell and Scott Andrew did something unique and special for it.
