Tweet Time for a quick update and showcase of the remixes in thus far! We’ve received four mixes so far, and it’s been nice to see the song go into so many decidedly different directions. Here we go. The first remix (download) came to us from Lacuna Origin, and boy, it’s a slow and heavy […]

Tweet Right, we mentioned this on the Band Camp report, but now we can actually go ahead with this. We’re putting the unmixed tracks for an upcoming tune called Revitty online for remixing. We hesitate to call this a competition, since music is never one, but we’d love to send some swag to the remixes […]

Tweet In 2004, a man named Chris Anderson came up with a theory he was calling The Long Tail. It was an idea of the future of shopping in the environment where shelf space is unlimited – that is, of course, online. Mr. Anderson’s theory dictated that in the future people will start buying a […]

Free music from Singularity Jones

Written by Herra Paalanen on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Tweet Because we also love free music that doesn’t involve the words “invitation-only beta”. The (awesomely named) band Singularity Jones have done a nice thing and put their Falling off the face of the Earth EP up for grabs on the internets. Shoegazey e-bow and delay workouts sound like just the thing on these grey […]

Music consumption sucks

Tweet Making an Internet service that just works is both hard and rare. Think FaceBook: what an enormous amount of totally useless crap around the fact that it’s a communication channel with people I know. It’s even harder and rarer when working on a media format that’s known for complicated copyright issues – that’s books, […]
