I’ve been leery of all the subscription services. I keep seeing reports of how Apple messes with your purchased library. Pandora won’t let you choose what songs to listen to (unless they changed that). And the ’zon seems to have too much market leverage to be healthy for creators over the long run (a self-0interest concern). But I also need a usable way to discover new music. https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2016-04-22-now-prince/ Fri, 22 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2016-04-22-now-prince/ Let’s just agree that 57 is too young. https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2016-01-13-bowie/ Wed, 13 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2016-01-13-bowie/ When I saw the news on Twitter that David Bowie had died, I started to cry. It was the middle of the night, but I couldn’t sleep anymore. I tossed and turned with “Heroes” echoing in my head. Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all. pic.twitter.com/Kh2fq3tf9m — Duncan Jones (@ManMadeMoon) January 11, 2016 Here it is, three days later and I’m still trying to process it. https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2014-05-18-2014-mahlerficent-occasion/ Sun, 18 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000 https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2014-05-18-2014-mahlerficent-occasion/ Photo by me. Last night, on impulse from a friend’s suggestion, I had the immense pleasure of attending the main concert for this year’s MalherFest. Historically I haven’t been the biggest Mahler aficionado, but last night did about all that’s possible to make me a convert. The orchestra itself, comprised of mostly local musicians with a few flying in from around the country, was quite wonderful. When I lived in Chicago, I went several times to hear the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2005-11-12-2005-11-sony-temporarily-halts-use-of-crippleware-but-homeland-security-still-is-not-pleased/ Sat, 12 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2005-11-12-2005-11-sony-temporarily-halts-use-of-crippleware-but-homeland-security-still-is-not-pleased/ Nothing like lawsuits to get a response, if only for the moment. Stung by continuing criticism, the world’s second-largest music label, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, promised Friday to temporarily suspend making music CDs with antipiracy technology that can leave computers vulnerable to hackers. Sony defended its right to prevent customers from illegally copying music but said it will halt manufacturing CDs with the “XCP” technology as a precautionary measure. “We also intend to re-examine all aspects of our content protection initiative to be sure that it continues to meet our goals of security and ease of consumer use,” the company said in a statement. https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2005-08-19-mainstreaming-chaos/ Fri, 19 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2005-08-19-mainstreaming-chaos/ People love “Top” lists – Top 100 Movies of All Time, Top 100 Novels, 100 Most Powerful People, 100 Richest People, Billboard’s Top 100 Songs, Top Grossing Blockbusters … In a mainstream culture, being in the “top” is something of an honor. On the web, there have been recent “Top” lists, too. Two in particular have received a lot of attention: the Technorati 100 and, more recently, the Feedster 500.
