13 September 2007 — Deb’s Beach Saves the Day
Linden Labs started a new music development mailing list for people interested in music in SecondLife. Almost immediately a kerfuffle erupted between those who say that Live Music is the only Real Music, those who say that DJing is Also Real Music, and those who say What Exactly Do You Mean by DJing?
I’ve never [...]
6 September 2007 — Mr Paz’s Day
Last week Miss Rich told me her plan to have a surprise appreciation night for Mr Paz tonight. She got together with Miss Faust, Miss Dhara, and Mr Milo to put this together. Since it was Thursday, I provided the music, of course.
Mr Milo sent me some music of Mr Paz, Mr Milo, and Mr [...]

One Year in Numbers
I’ve been spinning at The Bluffs for a year. I went back through the playlists and compiled some stats:
23 August 2007 — Too much wine and too much song
Here’s a little friendly advice: When you’ve run out of gin and vodka, that’s the universe’s way of saying, “Hey, how about some water for a change.” It may sound like the universe is saying, “Now would be a good time to drink a bottle of that Spanish red wine you picked up,” but you [...]
16 August 2007
OK, no Boston tonight. I did get to play some of my favorite new pieces:
Gaudi’s Dub Qawwalli (iTunes): I heard this on NPR on Tuesday, and I knew it would show up on tonight’s playlist.
Last night on eMusic I found Bitter:Sweet’s remixes of The Mating Game: The Remix Game
I’m still trying to find out who [...]
9 August 2007
I took a nap before tonight’s gig, and I woke up with half an hour to spare to get my playlist together.
Miss Faust and Mr Paz game me a hard time about playing Boston’s More Than a Feeling
. Mr Paz went so far as to ask if there was “something wrong” with the stream. Well, [...]
Please don’t tell Steve
You know how much I love the iTunes Music Store. iTunes saved my life. iTunes destroyed my marriage. iTunes gave me Dengue Fever. Anyone says anything bad about iTunes they’re going to have a stern talking-to.
Other music sites have tried to catch my eye. They’re funny and quirky, but not in a good way. And [...]
Daily Lit
So many books, so little time. Yet I always have time for e-mail.
Daily Lit serializes books and sends them to you one chunk at a time. The chunks are small enough to read quickly, and meaty enough to be interesting. And if you’re really engrossed, you can ask for the next installment right away. I’m [...]
Waters of March — 2 August 2007
For some reason — I’m sure the two martinis had nothing to do with it — I gave in and played all the versions of Aguas de Mar
