Listening to Music at Work

by Kelly on July 15th, 2008

I don’t really mind what kind of music is playing when I’m at work as long as it’s not silent in the office. I get less work done if it is completely silent, I think it’s more distracting then a little background noise. A new site that I just found and love now that we are all listening to our own music instead of community radio is deezer. You can make selections of music that you would like to listen to and deezer begins building a playlist of artists who are not famous to pair with the music you have selected. It doesn’t hesitate in between songs or take a long time to load and their music database covers a lot of different types of music.

What kind of music do you like to listen to at work?

XM Radio

by Kelly on April 30th, 2008

We’re back to listening to XM radio at the office, we had tried pandora and the regular radio for awhile. They claim no commercials but I’ve definitely heard a commercial for wrecking balm (supposedly a tattoo removing lotion) at least 3 times today. But, I do love the 90s station on XM and I like how the songs don’t seem to repeat too often.

PluggedIn Launched Today

by Kelly on April 16th, 2008

PluggedIn launched today and already has 10,000 videos loaded.  You have to download a player but the sound and recording are clear and look really nice.  I don’t like the black background when you’re searching for anything on the website because you have to have your mouse over the word to be able to see it.  The most popular videos so far are U2’s “Pride (In the Name of Love)” and Afroman’s “Because I Got High.”  U2’s video is the only one that has hit 1000 plays so far today.

Opening weekend sales were $13.5 million a disappointment compared to the production cost of $60 million. Opening Weekend the film competed with Kevin Spacey’s Gambling Movie, 21. 21 beat the other debuting films for the second week at number one in the box office.

I can’t think of a time when it would be neccessary or cool to have a monsterous boom box. I thought the idea was the smaller your iPod the cooler you were. The new iBig Box is inflattable and comes with an electrc pump. The iPod weighs 12 pounds and will plug into your iPod or any other media playing device. The new iBig Box sells for $60 and is intact with speakers and fabric controls.

Bands Overlook Wikipedia

by Kelly on April 8th, 2008

In an interesting article written by Reuters discussed the missed opportunity of having a page on Wikipedia. The top three sites that viewers look at when searching for music are the artist’s page, their myspace page, and their Wikipedia entry. Artists seem to spend a great deal of time working on their website and their myspace page but often overlook the Wikipedia entry or a lot of bands don’t even make a Wikipedia entry. Yahoo reported that bands may want to reconsider their priorties when it found that users were more likely to visit a band’s Wikipedia page over their myspace page 2-1.

Where do you go to find out more about an artist?

Green Songwriters

by Kelly on March 26th, 2008

Jack Johnson and Arcade fire are the new artists that are using their music to talk about environmental issues, but it’s not a new thing. Back in the 60s, Pete Seeger talked about how polluted the Hudson River was becoming when he released, “My Dirty Stream.” Pete Seeger wanted to educate people about what they were doing to the planet because he was an activist for change. Seeger is 88 today and still actively involved in groups to help let people know about environmental issues. Do you think people that listen to Arcade Fire and Jack Johnson like them because they are activist for the environment?
