Audio blogs

On the subject of audio blogs, here's two more that I'm enjoying (one courtesy of SF/J). Today, Moistworks is offering some mashups. The one mixing the Beatles and the All Saints is eeriely cool. Fluxblog's offering a Phil Specorish song and a funky little jam. The winner today would be Moistworks if you were to compare mp3s. Though Fluxblog's been quoted in the Times on an article about marketing through audiobloggers.

Fruits of Chaos

Fruits of Chaos is an mp3 blog devoted to (mostly) Asian pop music. At least as far as I can discern from my initial glance at it.

Oh to be in Tehran!

Creep (acoustic)

Cool animated music video set to Radiohead's "Creep". Very nicely done.

Mining links

I haven't checked #1/usr/bin/girl in a while, and she's put up some links to some cool games and animations. Check out the Scarecrow game, which looks like Tim Burton might have designed it; MoMa's site on Tall buildings, which is nicely designed though it bothers me that three or four of the buildings are WTC sketches which won't even be built; the speed reading test; and the cartoon Heroes.

Soul Sides

Oliver Wang (aka O-Dub) is running this great audio blog called Soul Sides. It started as a place to post record reviews, but it's since become a place where he posts mp3s and comments on those. One of the greatest discoveries in recent weeks is the Bizzie Boys. If I had the original 12"'s, I'd be wearing out the grooves. As it is, the three tracks O-Dub's posted are quickly climbing the charts according to my Itunes play count. It's too bad they only had those four singles. It's almost enough to convince me to become a record collector.
