Music

I can’t get enough of it. Music is a big part of my life and has been for as long as I can remember. I want to listen to it from the moment I wake up, to the moment my ears shut down to sleep.

I consider Last.fm  one of the best things since sliced bread. There is just no better way to find new artists similar to your tastes. For the last year every artist I’ve discovered has been from there. Sonata Arctica, Mago de Oz, Ayreon and everyone else. Either from looking at what my neighbours listen or from random suggestions from other users.

I also retain a music journal there, where I write, in english this time, anything music related. Usually reviews of albums I liked or anything else I might find of interest. You can always see a link to my latest music journal in the Web log.

Really, I just can’t say enough good things about Last.fm. If you’re not already registered, you should be…seriously.

My music player of choice is, of course, Amarok which I consider top notch. This is actually one of the few Free Software progs that I decided to donate to. Amarok in only for Linux at the moment, although with the future port of the KDE to windows, everyone will soon be able to enjoy it.

Since I am very interested in Music, I’m also very aware of movements by the Recording industry that tries to make everyone’s life difficult with schemes like C.R.A.P. and lobbying for law changing that benefits them only. There are quite a few articles and sites that I would recommend anyone should see and read: Anti-DMCA, Screw the Digital Rights Bugaboo, DRM is a complete lie, DeRIAA, Downhill battle and The Problem with Music

There are also quite few music related sites you should check out at some point:

  • 13.10 Quote of the Day: Capitalism

    Quoth the Barefoot Bum

    The problem our capitalist economy faces is not how to feed everyone, but how to make a profit feeding everyone.

    Aptly said and so true. We would have no problem feeding everyone on the planet but the capitalists can’t make a profit that way and this goes for most goods.

    Just look at the situation with Intellectual Property where the right holders are trying to reign in infinite goods just because they can’t figure out a business plan to make money out of them.

  • 24.09 Quote of the Day: Past and Future

    Quoth Xenos

    Those who parade their history as an excuse for laziness and incompetence will soon discover that they have no future.

  • 28.08 Quote of the Day: Science contribution

    Quoth Matthew Cob and Jerry Coyne

    You suggest that science may bring about “advances in theological thinking”. In reality, the only contribution that science can make to the ideas of religion is atheism.
