I’m using iTunes lately to listen to music on the computer. Maybe it’s just my Mac lust kicking in, but I like it much better than Winamp or MusicMatch (and don’t get me started on the annoying Realplayer). These players have very similar features, but I’ve been able to figure them out much more quickly on iTunes than on its competitors. One feature I like is the ability to export easily, as a text file, various playlists from your collection. Here’s the “party shuffle” I’m listening to as I calculate semester grades.

I met David Daniell when he was a 19-year-old freshman at Georgia Tech, playing guitar in his first band at a house party just off campus. Now he has his own record label, Antiopic, which has just released a CD featuring members of Sonic f’ing Youth.
Last year, Antiopic released a monthly series of free, downloadable mp3s entitled Allegorical Power, a project exploring “the possibilities and roles of abstract or experimental music as social and political response.”
where have i heard that name before…?
I must say, I’m finding the name of this blog, begun in February of this year, awfully familiar.
