Your Music looks like Sh*t!
Met a guy today whose brother invented Tuneup for Itunes. It’s a program that takes your music that is mislabeled and “cleans” it, meaning that they change the song titles, album names, etc. to the correct ones. I tried the free demo for 100 songs and was psyched to finally know that the bluegrass modest mouse band name is The Iron Horse. You can buy a subscription to clean your entire library for $20 or so.

This looks legit, how come I haven’t seen it out on the market yet?

A bird’s eye view of the oil spill by a kite-camera.
A file sharing space. Pretty easy to use.
Thanks Max and Grant for the heads up on these!
Book Review
Just read this book over vacation and it was…interesting. Basically I’m putting it up here to tell those who took any sociology, global studies, or liberal poly-sci. course to save your money. Perkins takes personal responsibility for being a conduit for the comprehensive exploitation of the “developing world”. If you are familiar with the SAP’s of the World Bank, applying political pressure for commercial interests, and the history of U.S foreign policy, don’t bother reading. This guy just admits to it all. If you are interested in Panama specifically, maybe check out a few chapters in the book-store.
Stereomood
Simple website for finding new music.
After you click an emotion it it creates a playlist for you. Like an electronic John Cusack, but not as annoying.
“Where Funk is the universal language…”
If you cannot get enough funk in your life, check out my boy Marc Amigone’s podcast.
He knows his stuff, and used to work for S.O.B’s in NYC, a great venue for music and dancing.
Two reasons to listen to students…
While “stumbling” around the internet I found this article about a Teenager who isolated the types of bacteria that break down plastics…
It reminded me of an article I read three years ago…
Stumble Upon
This site is great for when you don’t know where else to go on the internet. Just check off your interests and it sends you to random cool sites that meet your criteria. The NY Times calls it “channel surfing” the internet. Thanks for the heads up Stephanie!
