Time-stretching makes everything awesome
It seems that time-stretching may be poised to be the next Auto-tune.
Stefan Anion - HamsterDance Stretched to 800%
If this turns out to be true I predict Kanye’s next album to be a very long one.

Mashup(s) of the Day: The Dallas Observer has some fun switching out songs from a handful of “the greatest moments in movie-music matchmaking history” with Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You.”
Above: The Shawshank Redemption’s “opera scene.”
Cee-Lo clearly would have been much better off if he had promptly issued take down notices to anyone who began to post content using this song.
Wouldn’t have hurt if his video had just shown up as “this video is not available in your country” to most of the world either.

I was sick of “Kinetic Tyopgraphy” or whatever you call it, but this song has the lyrics to carry it. Great song too.

Music is not a limited resource
Most of my newer finished tracks get a Creative Commons license, as the primary issue I’m struggling with isn’t exploitation, it is obscurity. I don’t know why unknown artists are so conditioned against exploitation of their work. That’s like the best thing that can happen to you. How many times have you seen a YouTube video and the comments are all people saying “who did the music? what music is this?” It is impossible to hide who made the music these days. Your music isn’t a limited resource. You’ll make more. That’s the easy part. Finding an audience is the hard part.
