Between segments on Baseball Daily Digest Radio, they played “Hotel California” to introduce a segment on the Ramirez trade. It strikes me that is the perfect song for Ramirez-beautiful,but also bizarre.
Interesting interview on KCRW’s “The Politics of Culture” from the heads of Red and Rhapsody-to compete with peer to peer sharing, they elected to try to provide something BETTER. What a revolutionary concept. Instead of whining to Congress, provide a better PRODUCT. Wow.
On director Kevin Smith’s SModcast, he asks Walt Flanagan, one of his part time co hosts , why he doesn’t go to his high school reunion. Flanagan gives the same answer I do: I didn’t enjoy high school, so I see no reason why I should relive it.
After the day I've had, George Thorogood's "One Bourbon,One Scotch, One Beer" has convinced me I should start drinking. After all, not drinking hasn't gotten me very far.
Now watching "Casino Royale", the new one, again. I don't ever get tired of these movies, ever.
I'm at the point at my job where I'm swearing at people under my breath now. I really have got to get another job.

The great Solhenitsyn has died. I cant say I'm a big fan, but I remember reading "The Short Happy Life of Ivan Denisovich" on my own in middle school, and I remember it still.
In Boston, the Red Sox continued to rip off wins against the Athletics, completing the sweep with a nice 5-2 win today. The best Canadian import since Rush and Larry Walker, Jason Bay chipped in with two hits and two runs, to go along with a baserunner kill, Bill James' term for an outfield assist, while Dice K went 6, striking out 8.
New York and Tampa both won, leaving that 'ol status still quo.
Rhapsody is better than peer-to-peer? Last time I knew, peer-to-peer offered downloads that weren't crippled, and in a standard format, that I could play on any of my MP3 devices. And Rhapsody didn't (unless that option was buried somewhere).
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was that his goal was to do that? I was really only half listening.
ReplyDeleteThe point is, I think the music industry can succeed by allowing for the fact that peer to peer isnt going anywhere, and adapt.
