- The band that upended the cultural landscape of the 1960s is now hitching its legacy to the medium of a new generation: the video game.
- games intensify people’s engagement with music.
- 8 more annotations...
- - THE EVENTS THAT The Beatles: Rock Band recreates and reimagines are not just stepping stones in the career of a band but transformational shifts in the history of popular music.
  - The Beatles are positioning themselves to once again play a significant role in the evolution of popular music — this time by embracing interactivity.
  - “We’re on the precipice of a culture shift around how the mass market experiences music,”
  - music games are now the second-most-popular type on the market, ahead of sports and not far behind the traditional action category.
  - Together, Guitar Hero and Rock Band (now rival franchises owned by competing companies) have altered the way fans relate to music.
  - Increasingly, games are also seen as a significant distribution platform in their own right. In its first week, Motley Crue’s 2008 single “Saints of Los Angeles” sold nearly five times as many copies on Rock Band as it did on iTunes, and at twice the price. Next month, Pearl Jam plans to release its new album simultaneously on CD and in Rock Band.
  - But last month Harmonix announced that it will license software tools and provide training for anyone to create and distribute interactive versions of their own songs on a new Rock Band Network, which will drastically expand the amount and variety of interactive music available.
  - McCartney’s own musical beginnings weren’t too different from picking up Rock Band and pretending to be a star, he pointed out. “I emulated Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis. We all did.”

Book Review - 'How The Beatles Destroyed Rock ’n’ Roll - An Alternative History of American Popular Music,' by Elijah Wald - Review - NYTimes.com

- He has set himself a deceptively simple task: to write about the popular music of the last century by concentrating on what was actually popular, and to figure out why people — not critics or historians but the people who bought the sheet music and the records, listened to the songs on the radio and went to the dances — liked it.
- In doing so he ends up taking aim, for example, at the notion that mainstream pop music in the early 1950s was mired in white-bread mediocrity, as embodied by the likes of Perry Como, until Elvis Presley and company came along to rescue it. He doesn’t deny that rock ’n’ roll delivered a new energy and a new attitude, but he maintains that Elvis and Perry had more than a little in common — and he notes that plenty of teenage record buyers liked them both.

Daniel Sinker: Where is Our Orchestra? What Journalism Can Learn From the Mind-Blowing Remixes of Kutiman

- - need to look at this stuff not as competition or story fodder, but instead see it through the eyes of Kutiman: it is an endless supply of raw goods, ready to be remixed, rebuilt, and recreated in ways that are wholly new and wholly unexpected. At the end of the day, that's what journalism has always been best at: taking the world around us and giving it back to us in new ways. Well, that world has suddenly become much easier to access -- it's telling us about itself all the time. But that doesn't mean that the stories it tells are enough
  - Right now, some journalists look at the wealth of material on the web as a threat -- they see all these amateur voices and worry that they will overpower their own (hence the many, many, many stories about how "bloggers can't replace reporters"). Others look at it and see what journalists always see: story ideas. Hence all the stories you've had to slog through about Twitter this last month. Both are wrong.
  - Journalists need to not simply reach in, but dive in headfirst. We need to build our own orchestras out of the information being created all around us. Be like Kutiman: use the millions of blog entries, photos, tweets, and videos that find themselves on the web every day to build something new.
  - What can we do with it? Kutiman gives a simple, elegant answer: anything. It's a river, just reach in.
  - a win for anyone who's thought about just what it is we can do exactly with this explosion of self-expression the internet has engendered
  - "If your reaction to this crate of magic is 'Hm. I wonder how we'd go about suing someone who 'did this' with our IP?' instead of, 'Holy crap, clearly, this is the freaking future of entertainment,' it's probably time to put some ramen on your Visa and start making stuff up for your LinkedIn page."
  - Kutiman, an Israeli musician, cuts his songs together using snippets of performances on hundreds of YouTube videos.

- In a new study, 186 four-year-olds were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables renamed X-ray Vision Carrots. On the latter days, they ate nearly twice as many.
- "Cool names can make for cool foods,"
  says lead author Brian Wansink of Cornell University. "Whether it be
  'power peas' or 'dinosaur broccoli trees,' giving a food a fun name
  makes kids think it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep

- if you use Last.fm and Twitter, why not integrate them? You can add your latest tweets to your Last.fm sidebar or you can use Twitterfeed and feed your last played songs into your profile. Just visit Twitterfeed, set up the account, and grab the RSS feed from your Last.fm page and select how often and how many songs you want to feed from your recent activity.
- Another cool site for Last.fm and Twitter is LastFMTweetLove. Here you can enter your Twitter and Last.fm information and every time you “love” a song on Last.fm, it will tweet it to your profile.
- 6 more annotations...
- - you can set up your Twitter account under Blip.fm’s settings tab and whenever you “blip” a song, it will tweet to your profile. Plus, since this is a social service, you can enter a message that will be included with the link to the song.
  - Once you’ve found the song you want to share, you select it and it automatically creates a tinyurl of the song link and auto-copies it to your clipboard which you can then tweet and when someone clicks on it, it will play the song on Grooveshark.
  - Speaking of Grooveshark, they made a cool site where you can log into your Twitter account and listen to music that people are sharing through Twitter. Their tagline sums it up: “Twisten.fm crawls Twitter for tweets about music. Then you listen to them.”
  - Song.ly is another very cool, yet simple site to share music on Twitter.
  - you can actually upload songs that you can’t find on other music databases and then tweet them.
  - Songza.com is a pretty nifty music site that allows you to search for a song or artist. When it pulls the results, you can click on the song you want and it gives you the option to share. Once you hover over “share”, you will see “Twitter This”
