Music Places

Recently I have taken to listening to a whole bunch of music on Tumblr.

The Music Tag On Tumblr

Some great places to go for music are these, in no particular order.

HypeMachine
Last.fm
Pandora
World Singles Chart
Shuffler
Soundtracking
Spotify
ViddyJam
Song Of The Day
SoundCloud

Two Hall of Famers would be Soraya Darabi and Fred Wilson, people who stand out in the NY tech ecosystem regardless, but I don't think that is accidental, great thinking in tech seems to go hand in hand with voracious consumption of good music. So listen: listen. They have great taste. They are both addicted to music.

Rana June: iPad DJ

She performed at this party. I told her, I have read about this, but it is so great to actually see this in person.

I have always been a consumer of music. The iPad might make me a creator too. Otherwise I have not been too excited about the iPad. I call myself a power user. I use the keyboard a lot. And I like the physical kind.

It is amazing what she does. Mind blowing, actually.
