Yahoo! Radish! w00t!

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

Rhapsody Radish was my favorite Rhapsody site by far but Rhapsody never returned the love I gave it and I moved on to better things: Yahoo! Music Unlimited. Y!MU allows users to share playlists via their Yahoo! profiles (I’m sothym there, if you care), but I still missed the Radish’s seemingly endless supply of [...]

SK Netcafe Buys Sky

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

Good news for all of us who have wished there was something that would attempt to fill the holes left when we suddenly found ourselves without Mythos, Tonic, Fat City, and The Steeple.
SK Netcafe has had a good record of serving up consistantly interesting nights, I look forward to seeing what they’ll do with this [...]

Diamond Nights - Destination Diamonds

Saturday, June 18th, 2005

Music for Robots posted a link to my vote for 2005’s Summer song: Destination Diamonds by Diamond Nights. If that song doesn’t sound like driving with the windows rolled down, one arm out the window, sunglasses on, hair and stereo up too high, nothing does.
They’re coming to Charlotte in August, I have a feeling [...]

Rhapsody Ignored Everyone, Even the Radish

Wednesday, June 15th, 2005

One of the reasons why I left Rhapsody for Yahoo!Unlimited was because I have been a vocal proponent of Rhapsody and their business model for years and have offered constructive and helpful advice along the way and have felt like I was completely ignored. When the latest version was released, it was like a [...]

MPAA vs. Their Customers - Round V

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Mobile Jones has a new post with some very interesting thoughts about (and quotes from) the newest press release from the MPAA regarding their battle against the world internet pirates.
It is a shame that the RIAA’s tactics are rubbing off on the MPAA when, unlike the RIAA, the MPAA’s profits have been steadily increasing as [...]

Yahoo! Music Engine Requires Admin Rights?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

Apparently Yahoo! doesn’t really care enough about their potential customers to answer my customer service emails, so I’m posting here hoping someone will be able to help.
I only have a few days left in my trial subscription to Yahoo! Music Unlimited and I don’t want to have to go back to Rhapsody because I like [...]

Yahoo!Unlimited ANTiSEEN Playlist

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

Yahoo! Music Unlimited has 3 (of the couple dozen) albums from Charlotte’s finest, the greatest thing to come from the Queen City: ANTiSEEN!
ANTiSEEN, if you don’t know, is punk as fuck, dirtier than grunge, more Southern than Skynard, and the undisputed heavyweight champions of rock and roll.
This playlist contains 22 songs, ranging from the defining [...]

Yahoo!Unlimited Tips for Rhapsody (v2) Users

Monday, May 16th, 2005

If you’re trying out Y!U as a replacement for Rhapsody (and if you’re a Rhapsody user, I think you should give Y!U a shot) and you’re not a “Rhapsody to go” user, these 2 steps might make things a little more comfortable for you:
1. when you install, check the “do not index my music at [...]
