The labels still don't get it. This LA Times story .... "The labels still don't get it. This LA Times story is an excellent overview of the problems with the labels' music download services -- limited selections, horrendous abridgements of fair use, and high cost of use." [via bOing bOing] There is just sooooo much wrong with these services that I don't even know where to begin. Clueless record companies alienating consumers and trashing what could be a decent service. Like this is going to stop file sharing. (Read this one fast, as LA Times stories disappear after a week.) 5:12:41 PM

Bootylicious vs. Smells like teen spirit (MP3-link) Although it might be a little of the mainstream META-postings, I chose to post this piece of Soulwax music (MP3) because I really want to hear your reactions. The energy attained in this synergetic combination exceeds even math rock." [MetaFilter] I l-o-v-e this! I've heard several of these types of mixes now, and I enjoy hearing the disparate songs folks put together, my favorite being the Enya-Eminem mix from a couple of years ago. Of course, copyright holders think this is illegal and I suppose technically it is, but to me it's like Andy Warhol using the Campbell's soup can to create something new. Definitely a new music genre we haven't seen before. 7:19:43 AM
