living life one day at a time!

I loved the poster for this so I had a look round and got quite intrigued. Although the music maybe a little experiMENTAL hehe I like this guys idea, and optimism. Using youtube.com some nifty looping software and of course the trusty macbookpro he has packaged up his music and gone on a full world tour from his bedroom!! complete with digital dates across the globe!!! Love It! It’s certainly one way to reach a global audience, with a carbon footprint of zero!! All we need now is a way for the bands to get virtual feedback/moshpit/crowdsurfing from an audience and then the best gig spots in the world will become just digital outposts on a server!

mm I think I prefer the old fashioned blood sweat and tears of a moshpit!!!! RAWK! but maybe the live gig could go the way of vinyl, something I’ll enthuse mystically about in my senior years to a wired sweat free generation!!

Props to mercedeath tho some intriguing stuff going on there!!

So something that I have been aware of but never really paid much attention to is Last.fm. Having always been into these music discovery sites, (I was an avid user of Pandora and Musicovery) I was have absolutely fallen in love with the last.fm service. Only a day in and i’m obsessively collecting artists both new and long lost forgotten ones into my own personal radio station, tied it into this here blog and will be spending much more time using the service. From a design point of view its everything a web 2.0 app should be, quick easy to use loads of info but not overload and a shared sense of discovery and community, last.fm has these in buckets. Now I plan to make stations for all sorts of things, office work, going out and traveling the list goes on. I can’t see why at some point (when car stereos have a wi-fi connection) that I can’t have have my own personal play list anywhere I am. It’s all part of what seems the endless march to being walking bunch of preferences, our worlds at the tip of our fingers anywhere we are.

Nice
