Lady Gaga plays a brand new song live. Audio quality is rather terrible, but the song rocks. Seriously, I almost wish she’d leave the crazy pop and take a turn as a piano rocker. She certainly has the writing talent. But I guess right now she’s more interested in pursuing fame (and possible completing whatever [...]
Day before the last day of clients and I’m fighting a creative and motivational funk. Rather than turning this into an extended screed on my personal mental convulsions I’ll just retire to some ponderings on the ethics of ethanol while listening to Amanda Palmer (thank you Neil, for giving me my new grumpy music by [...]
Sad news from the BBC this week: When singer-songwriter Imogen Heap tweeted last week that she may stop touring because it is too expensive… In the wake of her comments on Twitter, some have suggested she cut down the production costs for her elaborate live show. For her part, she says she wants to give [...]
Python script converts any song to a standard swing rhythm… The Swinger Enter Sandman- the Swing Version by plamere
I first heard of Amanda Palmer when Neil Gaiman started writing short stories for her. Then started paying attention when Neil and Amanda started dating. I can’t stand much of her music at once, but a song or two at a time… whoa. Utterly, insanely, intense and awesome.

As promised, I spent this evening constructing a short series of sentences from the titles of songs in my iTunes library. The result is a bit depressing, but I like it: “You oughta know tits on the radio always turn me around. Your time is gonna come. Touch me, feel me, out of control like [...]
Tomorrow the wife and I are going to play a little game… No, you sick little puppy, nothing like that. We are just both going to do a little music library challenge. It will go something like this: Come up with a playlist in which the order of songs makes as many intelligible statements as [...]
This is such wonderful news. About a year ago Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer admitted that they were dating. Neil initially tried to hint this to his family by sending a photo of the two of them cooking dinner together, to which they only noticed that he had bought a new and shiny refrigerator. Since [...]
The wife found a fun post on Stuff Christians Like about wanting a “Christian Lady Gaga”. I’ll wait for you to stop laughing. OK, now that you have composed yourself, I will present my response to that. Not a reasoned argument on the connection between Christianity and music. Not a debate about faith and entertainment. [...]
