Ever wondered who wrote the beautiful music for the new Facebook video explaining the network’s upcoming design? It’s Keith Kenniff’s work. And here it is.

Before we go much further I want to just be clear about what I mean by selling. I don’t mean that glengarry glenn ross dude with the leads, or that pushy guy trying to force you to buy something. Fuck that shit. I think that selling is about authentically sharing with someone what you believe in, carefully listening to to what they believe in, and finding the places where those are in alignment.

Listen to any website, RSS feeds & PDF docs, on the go

This is one angle for enabling a monitor-free experience.

Captive Atria and Living in Public - on the value of public space in general, and more specifically on the web.

The Web We Lost - although somewhat nostalgic, a smart look at where we were a few year ago and where we ended up now.

Rebuilding the Web We Lost - where can we go if we think of creating the web and interactive spaces as public spaces

Herbert - You Saw It All (DJ Koze Mix)

stereomoodofficial:

Despite the name they’re not french. Despite the fact that their music has been defined as Balearic Disco, they actually come from Gotheburg (SE). After the two critically acclaimed EP’s On Trade Winds (2006) and No Way Down (2008), Joel Karlsson split from former bandmate Henrik Markstedt leaving fans breathless and eager for more of their romantic and breezy tunes. Here, Joel opens up about his music taste, emotions and stealing alcohol from parents. http://theairfrance.tumblr.com/

Flying Lotus — Until The Quiet Comes

(Animated by Mr. GIF)

Vote for your album of the year in the 2012 Music Blog Zeitgeist!

Dreaming of naked teenagers with long hair laying in trees, endless summers, a mansion underwater, living in a rock at the riviera with sexy mermaids whispering: “We are getting it on and won’t leave before six in the morning!”? About time to treat yourself with Parasol’s latest Beachfreaks compilation -an anticipated new mix of hairy freaked-out psychedelic pop from the 1970s.

This mix was undusted and pieced together by Parasol Island’s creative director and hardcore collectore Charles Bals. Most of the obscure bondfire disco tracks came from ungoogleable vinyl singles, salvaged from the far reaches of a sunken Europe underground disco culture, and available through his online store Cosmic Dudes. So bring the banana lounge, shades and beach ball and follow us to the endless summer!

Miles just called and said he wants this album to be titled: “BITCHES BREW”. Please advise.

Don’t Forget that Fan Is Short For Fanatic

I love the idea of crowd funding concerts and I think it’s awesome that Songkick is helping facilitate Detourjam. Hot Chip is a great case study proving that if you give fans social power and a chance they will organize and create an amazing event.

“Enjoying popular music makes everything better.

You’re at the mall? You’ll almost certainly be hearing that new Bruno Mars song, so might as well learn how to sing along while you’re sifting through khakis.

Buying a hot new slice of consumer electronics? You know you’re gonna be hitting up tech support sooner or later, and guess who’s always on hold music? Beyoncé.

If you have any younger relatives, you will feel whole when you finally learn how to take them to Carly Rae Jepsen concerts and enjoy the music for what it is: a simple plastic beacon that has the power to become a positive touchstone for everyone in a society to have something in common… if they’ll just let it.

Maybe.”
