technical violin work I have EVER seen or heard last Sat, it can't hurt to endulge in a little musical powdered doughnut. Like audio Simpsons after watching PBS.
Friday marks the two-year anniversary of the death of legendary singer/song-writer Elliott Smith, and yesterday
Gorilla vs. Bear brought to my attention 22 "new" previously-unreleased Elliott Smith tracks, currently being called From A Basement On The Hill II, to my attention. All 22 songs, many of which are thought to be from the original Basement sessions, are available for download
here, courtesy of
Elliott Smith B-Sides.
MTV.com also has an article on the leaked tracks, which you can read
here. Below you can download "Needle In The Hay", my favorite Elliott Smith song, and "Miss Misery" the song that propelled him to fame on the Good Will Hunting sound track.

BBC :: boards of canada - listening post
Boards of Canada's 1998 debut Music Has the Right to Children cornered an aesthetic of whacked-out fuzzy keys and lolling half-time hip-hop drums. Back then the leftfield scene was bolstered by such plodding experimentation - it was fashionable to embrace it. Now it seems just as fashionable to reject it.
For certain twentysomethings, BOC represented a soothing stroll into nostalgia. Arriving at a time when technology was beginning to encroach on daily life, they offered something simultaneously modern, hip and warmly retro.
Fast forward to 2005 and detractors might point out a lack of musical progression while the world around them has caught up.
Like its predecessors, The Campfire Headphase is rooted in the present, whilst still looking to the past. Warbling guitars are the only new addition here, influenced by BOC's relationship with UK artist Bibio. And whilst their practice of degrading audio to Dictaphone degree appears more extreme this time around, the familiar BOC 'memory wash' remains constant.
This album moves like a daydreamed walk through your old junior school, and while it fails to surprise it doesn't disappoint. Have a listen

A quoi ça sert l'amour?
A quoi ça sert l'amour? is a charming animation by French production house
Cube about the trials and tribulations of love set to the tune of a wonderful duet between Edith Piaf and Theo Sarapo. This short is but one of several (mostly commercial) animations on the site…

Meebo - Freeware Multi-Platform IM Client[via
Freewarefreak.blogspot.com]
Meebo is a browser-based IM client that connects to AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, and Google Talk IM networks. If your employer has locked out all connections excluding those on port 80 (default web traffic port) you can use Meebo to get online when the normal IM applications won't work. This type of blocking is usually accomplished using a firewall, but Meebo allows you to get around it.
Meebo is still in alpha, so it's a very early version that is basically still being tested. It may not be the smoothest solution out there, but if you're looking to IM and can't use the usual routes on your computer Meebo will get the job done.
