Optimize Craigslist with Boolean Search Operators
09/2011 Update:Â Craigslist seems to change their booleans every now and then. Parenthesis and apostrophes at one point were for phrases and OR operators. Just like the renowned Google search engine, Craigslist.org has their own technical search term operators that will alter the parameters of your search. If you are looking to add special conditions...
What Windows Misses that Macs Have
Before you get the idea that this will be fanboy activism, realize that I could care less about the Microsoft/Apple debates, politics, and the social innuendos and biases surrounding the computer world. This is just my experience and in no way will it reflect that better alternative exist. Since my purchase of a used MacBook...
Legally Share iTunes-bought music by Authorization
This might seem like a no-brainer, but Apple allows 5 computers to have access to your paid-for library. So this can apply to your home desktop, laptop, your old clunker you left at your parents, office PC, and maybe a computer or 2 you use when you are at a friend’s house. That last bit...
Andrew Bird expands your music vocabulary
I’ve noticed that the great Andrew Bird is great at pulling out words I rarely hear, often aesthetic exuberant sounding words. Sometimes I wonder if he is more focused at the pleasantry of auditory pronouncements or if these words are chosen because of the song’s communicative value. Noble Beast is an intellectual treat of dictionary...
Sparse Discovery: Owen, Carl Broemel.
Owen and Carl Broemel. These guys go well together, and they are both haven’t seen much fame compared to other things they’ve been involved in. I don’t think there is any known relationship between the two, but they would make a great split album together. And they’d do a fine job of making a smooth...
Jerry DeCicca (The Black Swans) Leak of “First Time”
What if I told you I possess a leaked track of Jerry DeCicca on vocals from a forthcoming project. I have no idea if this is the Black Swans or affiliated with La Société Expéditionnaire but it seems like a demo for a 2009 album. I like the electric southern blues direction of this. This...
Wilco proceeds with new 2009 album
Cover art just release for the album which is self-titled, along with a title track. The song is the only publicly performed on this record as heard on Colbert Report and played for some recent live shows. This could be a cover for a potential single? The tracklist came out too: Wilco (the song) Deeper...
2008 Top 5 Albums
I was going to do a Top 10 list, but I honestly don’t listen to that many albums to narrow down from a single year. Chances are I’ll discover numerous albums from 2008, but until then I’ll point out some that I ended up listening to . Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago Busting...
Mixtape: Too Much December
December was busy. Plenty going on, plenty to listen to, plenty of plenty. I didn’t capture much to mixtape this month, and it didn’t help that a good portion of the stuff I collected have no documentation other than rarer recordings or the are just too unestablished to have a music video or performance. I...

I’ve found the latest and best online tools to get you right to your goal. Instead of previewing 30 second samples or scrounging through...
Mixtape: You’re Nothing Like All The Other Novembers
November was a jam-packed month. And December is surpassing the busyness. Well all is good here. This month by chance got invaded by upbeat songs from more recent times. Not much early blues and older-than-oldies that I sometimes get hung up on. Versus – “Eskimo” Think of the coolest musical catches and a spurt of...
