I'm not a techie, so this might be a dumb questions but...is it possible for a blog reader to identify someone who posts a comment? Thinking specifically about a blog that uses DISQUS for the commenting system. Would someone be able to determine where you are posting from (the city), or your...

it's that time of the year again, or will soon be once the crap weather ends. i'm starting to emerge from my sonic winter cocoon where i find i listen to lots of quiet/experimental/ambient stuff, partly because the windows are closed and they block out the noise of traffic on the busy main...

from GGD...luckily no one hurt but pretty devastating...: OUR TOUR CANCELLED DUE TO FIRE.... hello all......very sad news from GGD camp today. We are in Amsterdam after having played the first of what was meant to be 14 shows in Europe and the UK. Last nights show was really great and a big...

http://sendmedeadflowers.com/2008/02/velvet-underground-live-at-gymnasium.html i'm usually not into bootlegs but this has been circulating for a few weeks and is worth noting if the velvets happen to be your thing...good sound, vocals upfront, previously *unheard* tracks, one of the better...

as i'm sure most everyone knows by now, new york state governor elliot spitzer got nailed (!) for soliciting prostitutes and has resigned. my friend in barcelona said "if that happened in spain, it would get him re-elected." interesting male/female split in reaction: many (not all) women think...

just saw the joy division film "control," pretty impactful stuff and excellent visually, as you might expect from anton corbijn. very well cast and the live scenes are quite good, with the actors actually playing the tunes. the film drove home how brutal they could sound live. so...was...

i know we've touched on this topic before, but an interesting piece from today's wsj on how music production/compression is changing what we hear: Are Technology Limits In MP3s and iPods Ruining Pop Music? If it seems like you are listening to music more but enjoying it less, some people in the...

a dumb question from a non-techie but here it goes... is there a free online resource for finding traffic statistics (ie, number of readers/vistitors) to various web site? working on a project where i have to estimate the number of reader impressions received for a particular story that's been...

nyc considering instituting a congestion pricing scheme for much of manhattan, curious to know what folks in london and area feel about the pluses/minuses. does it work?

haven't noticed discussion here about a few recent releases that in the past probably would have been topics of discussion: soul jazz "box of dub" comp, "skreamizm 3" and "dubstep allstars 5"...have people lost interest in the bigger names? moved on to other newer names? hmm. granted, i sit...

dumb question from a not-so tech-savvy dude: sometimes when i try to download an album, it comes out as an ".rar" file which i'm unable to open. my pc says i need to search for other software or something, which i don't know where to save, etc. i assume this is some sort of compression or...

anyone ever deal with http://alloffmp3.org? based in russia, cheap downloads, questionable legality. they have something i want that's otherwise out of print (i'd buy it legally if i could find it) but it all seems a bit dodgy...any thoughts?

aaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhh... my previous mcafee security suite (anti-virus, spam blocker, firewall, privacy, etc.) expired, so i just renewed the subscription. after doing the download and installation, my pc is running SOOOOOO slowly. web surfing is often worse than with dial-up, sometimes...

Anyone have recommendations about good in-ear headphones for an iPod? I can't seem to get the standard iPod phones to fit correctly, keep slipping loose. Had an old pair of Sony in-ears that fit really well but they aren't very hi-fi (cost only about $35). Tried the $95 Bose in-ears, which...
