Hey Jan, do you know about this? The Online Guide to Whistling Records via BasicHip via Oddio OverPlay.
"The Trouble with Harry" is the title of one of my favorite hitchcock flicks. It's also the title of this little piece by Elmo Tanner.
There has been some discussion lately in the Yahoo Videoblogging Group about "attitude" and the political correctness of people's replies to certain questions, particularly questions about sustainability.
Instead of discussing it here further, I offer this interesting documentary audio recording (mp3) that I found in the Internet Archive about "New Music in Los Angeles". I think it is an interesting story about culture clash between refugee creatives from Europe and "Hollywood types" in the mid-1930's.
Food for thought and good for you. I think we can learn much about culture clashes within videoblogging from this. Remember, "those who fail to study the past are doomed to repeat it", or so they say.
I posted an article on "Collaborative Video" at spinflow.org, please check it out; I'd really appreciate your feedback (or pushback! I like that word.)
It covers a wide rage of group efforts centered around video in general and videoblogging in particular.
Here is clip from yesterday's videoblogging video conference in which Nathan Peters is discussing music and video collaboration.
Just one of the many topics dicussed.
I finally got a chance to get back into playing around with SMIL a bit more. I have cobbled together a small web service to allow playing mp3's from WebJay playlists while watching images pulled from Flickr RSS feeds. I'm surprised that I haven't seen examples of this already.
Anyone know of any similar projects?
I still have a bit more to do to it to make it "user friendly", but once I do, I'll post something for everyone to play with. The goal is a simple app that will select the music and images based on a "tag" (we can use del.icio.us for tags in WebJay). Too much fun.
While hoping and waiting to hear from Ryanne, I decided to make another video. Have I joined for videobloggingweek2005? Only time will tell. I'll need another five more videos.
This one begins to explain the vision for SpinFlow, a community that we want to build to address "moving media for creative professionals".
Ryanne sent back the nicest email. I'm stoked. This may seem redundent now, but what the heck. Click to play.
Based on feedback from some listeners, I am adding a player and list in the (left) sidebar. Just press the play button to start it. It has pause, previous and next, as well as a volume slide control. It requires Flash. Please let me know if this works for you or not.
As usual, you can also find links to all these items on our WebJay playlist. Enjoy!
Tonight's new items include: Lisa Rein, JKP, Gregorians and Scotish. All in all an eclectic mix of dance, alternative and guitar.
As usual, you can find links to all these items on our WebJay playlist. Enjoy!
Here we are again. Got some more goodies posted on our WebJay playlists.
We got some new podcasts about mac's and media. Plus some interviews. Also a video on making videos. Some nice ambient, techno and dance music, plus an old time recording from 1907. Check the associated web page links on the playlists for more details.
I'm a little tired tonight and so I'll just say that we added about a dozen links to the following lists:
Creative Commons announced today that ...
The final winners of the Freestyle Mix, and the Milita Mix contests
have been announced on Mixter. The top eleven Freestyle Mix entries
have won a spot on the Creative Commons release, The WIRED CD --
Ripped. Sampled. Mashed. Shared. (playing off the original WIRED CD), and free passes to the M3 Music Summit in Miami. The top track of the Militia Mix Contest won a spot on the next Fine Arts Militia Album Featuring Chuck D.
Brian Hardgroove of Fine Arts Militia has this to say: "Overall, I
would have been proud to put most of those mixes on the new record --
mad props to the producers."
If you havent checked out CC Mixter, then go there right now! It is an awesum place for CC licensed content. Why are you still reading this??? Go there now!!!
Ahhh, a more quiet day on the Internet Archive new contributions RSS feed. We have just a few entries, but they are all good ones.
First, we have Prof M Stereo with "Out of my way". To me it sounds a little like a spaghetti western soundtrack written by David Lynch. I particularly like the ethereal vocals. This is a CCMixter competition entry (see also here).
We also have another CCMixter remix competition piece called "Dangerouse" featuring cuts by Curious. You can't modify it and you can't sell it, but you can download it and pass it around to anyone you like.
Things turn funny when Happy Elf makes music and they are making quite a bit of it (11 songs!). They call it weird, but then people call me that and so what can I say but "I like it." They also self-categorize themselves as Club-house and Electropop.
A new album by HAPPY ELF with eleven songs from the past. The songs create a wonderful world, full of sounds, melodies, electronic beats and confused lyrics.
HAPPY ELF plays all instruments. The main instruments are the analogue synthesizers and drumcomputers. The music of HAPPY ELF is unique and unlike any existing style.
Lastly, we have a new video. This may not be the best thing for kids and I don't necessarily advocate the theme, but "Why I love shoplifting from Big Corporations" by Franklin Lopez is a very funny video and certainly suitable for our "Promises, promises" playlist.
As usual, you can find links to all these items on our WebJay playlist (except the video as already mentioned). Enjoy!
Good evening and welcome back once again. Glad you could make it (no matter what time it is where you are). Being the weekend, I thought a little DIY was appropriate and the Internet Archive RSS feed served up a nice treat: Podcasting 101. The description for this brief and entertaining podcast states:
Podcasting 101 is a primer for basic podcasting. Follow the Promiscuous Bullet team as they show a novice just how it's done, podcasting that is. This production covers the basic tools for creating audio content for distribution through Internet subscription channels.
Hi and welcome back for another set of IAT goodies. It's Friday night! Party time! Let's dance! There's some good tunes being added to the Internet Archive tonight. I don't pretend to carefully listen to every item that comes in (I don't have much time, all this stuff came in today! Fresh meat!). But I do try to check out as much as I can and listen as long as I (or my speakers) can stand it sometimes. There are lots of interesting things coming in every day and all I care about is finding something new and interesting for you each night. What have I got myself into? 64 new entries today alone.
As always, you will find IAT's finds on our WebJay playlist or in the links below. The playlist is nice, because you can just sit back and listen to the whole show.
Ok, it's official: I'm having too much fun using WebJay and the Internet Archive. Now I'm creating playlists centered around the videos people point out to me (usually visions of possible futures), together with wonderful old pieces from the 50's and 60 that I find in the Internet Archive's Prelinger Archives. Thanks again to Jon Udell, who originally pointed the way here with his great screencast. So, if you don't find me posting here, I'm probably busy adding media links to my playlists. Darn! That means it's time to figure how to get those lists showing up over here too. More of what Marc Cantor calls Digital Lifestyle Aggregation (DLA).
