As I continually slimmed down my record collection over the years, the works of certain artists who I knew would never, ever come out on CD tended to be the ones that I kept. Translation: I have a weirdly lopsided record collection that veers sharply -- there is no "in between" to speak of, to be clear here -- from several dozen live PiL bootlegs to the collected works of one Jeannie C. Riley. Doesn't...

Apple releases a fancy new feature with iTunes 8 and tries to join your mix tape club. Problem is, he's a nice guy with a decent record collection but a lack of understanding of the rules and limited creativity. It's back to school for this "Genius."

Let no man claim that Dave Klein is less than thorough with his regular Numerology posts. I will not stand for it! Buuuut on the occasional occasion that the Venn Diagram of Klein's record collection and mine have diverged, I have taken it upon myself to drop him a line--a duty which I have sporadically neglected. Note, I'm not claiming that Dave's picks for these numbers were wrong per se, or that...

Skafish - Sink or Swim (mp3) I'm not sure how regular a feature this will be. It's not like I have that massive a record collection. But I can at least keep it going for a few months. Skafish , a "quirky" new wave band much weirder than Devo or Oingo Boingo, have been making the rounds on the blogs lately. Joe at Last Days posted the amazing "Disgracing the Family Name" 7" , then Egg City Radio threw...

So it was an obvious pick for the Flipper dudes (TMT News) to pick up former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic for low-end duty, especially considering he's not doing much these days besides fixing...
Some more notes on DJing: A record collection comes to life when it is played to others DJing brings forth the obvious interconnectedness of apparently unrelated music genres and traditions The effect of a DJ set on the atmosphere of a place (in contrast with just a shuffling iPod or a CD playing) cannot be understated. People do [...]
We are more than our bodies. I like to think that when we cease to exist physically our life goes on scattered, for example, in the pieces of music we enjoyed. The sad thing of getting rid of a record collection is not merely a materialistic problem, the letting-go of the object. It’s not that [...]
