This track was gleamed from the amazing and majestic “365 Days Project” curated by Otis Fodder. It was from a vinyl created by the sorority sisters of the Phi-Mu at a university in Georgia, perhaps in the 60’s.

Keeping in the tradition of Podcast of the Week, I’m going to be posting a track or two every week highlighting some of the musical gems from the LRHB Industries Sound & Image Library. With the sheer vastness of the collection, it could be anything, from wax cylinder recordings from the late 1800s to a mariachi band I saw in the parking lot of a taqueria last night!
With her new album, Volta (iTunes link), due out in about a week, Bjork’s been releasing video podcasts, available through the iTunes store, with tons of behind the scenes, making of, and interview footage. Rarely do we get to see Bjork talk candidly about what drives her and her music. In the first episode, she talks about how she decided to reel it in after going completely off the freaking deep end with her last album, Medulla (I’m paraphrasing here, of course). We also get to hear snippets of the music from the yet unreleased album, which sounds like Bjork’s getting back to her roots.
Do you listen to podcasts? It’s incredible, the amount of free content that’s out there… everything from news to music to movies to TV shows to crafting to language to who knows what. If you’re an iTunes user, the iTunes store has a great podcast directory to browse through to get an idea of all the different types of podcasts that are out there.
Have you heard of EveMaze? It’s the game blog of a Japanese Flash-based game creator, and… well, there’s no real way to explain it. His games are puzzle-based, but completely cracked out. The latest, Galves Adventure Ver. 1, was created for his friend’s baby. There’s a baby, and a bear, and a spider, and a crab, and an elephant, and somehow you have to defeat a lion. At one point, if you get far enough, you can choose between good and evil.
I was looking for books on the upcoming Flash CS3 today on Amazon, and I saw a promo banner for the Motorola Ming. I hadn’t heard of it before, but two things jumped out at me: it runs LINUX, and it’s sold unlocked.
A week ago, an old co-worker told me that one of the girls we worked with was going on a date with Justin.tv, the Bay Area guy who strapped a camera to his head and broadcasts every second of his life on the internet, live.
