Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips
Sounds like Wayne needs a Tumblr.
Twin Shadow - “Yellow Balloon”
Please don’t hold me responsible for the lyrics, just the groove. (Do people use that word anymore? Did I just out myself as totally lame?)
I am reminded of the Cansecos. Anyone? Bueller?
Oy. Recommending music is stressful.
Looks like Pitchfork has figured out a solution to its streaming music problem created by the shutdown of Lala. They’re using a music streaming tool built and powered by Yahoo! It appears, however, that Pitchfork is now hosting the music (which opens them up to more liability, it would seem, as far as copyrights are concerned). This is probably why we’re only seeing the player in the Forkcast and only sporadically attached to the album reviews (and typically only with a single). They probably have to go get permission now from the labels or artists to use the music, whereas before, with Lala, they could just link to what was posted by someone else.
Good UE gone bad: I miss Lala and listening to an album while reading a review. How is Pitchfork going to solve its streaming music problem?
It used to be that you could listen to the album while reading a review on Pitchfork. It was an incredibly rewarding user experience, as I always found it frustrating to read references to songs that I had yet to hear or couldn’t remember their titles. Since Lala shut down on May 31, Pitchfork has yet to find a replacement. I’m curious to see what they will do. Any thoughts?
