Found in appleMusic

In the trial mode of appleMusic. I posit that if I find an album a month ($10 on the iTunes store) that I would actually listen to more than once, then the service is worth the price of admission.

Note that it is only 12 albums a year, 20 years before my ears decide exploration is tired, 240 albums. Tiny amount of “saved” music. Might even purchase a “real” copy of some of them.

This weekend I had to add 2 new Tallis Scholars CDs to the collection (CDGIM045 – Tavener, CDGIM049 – Pärt) which I happily paid CD price for 48K/24bit recordings. I like my counterpoint clean.

Found in appleMusic – John Coltrane – “The Complete Africa/Brass Sessions”

Never knew of it. Never heard it. Happy to have it in the list of tunes.

Unfortunately most “easy” credits don’t tell the story of the players. Thanks to the AllMusicGuide.com folks we get this

The 12 Major Changes To Recording In The 2000s

I got to thinking about the many changes that came about in the recording business during the 2000s the other day – some of it good, some of it bad, most of it significant. Here are what I consider to be the 12 major changes in recording that took place during the 2000s, in no particular order.

Show only exact duplicate tracks in iTunes – Mac OS X Hints

In iTunes, a very useful feature is the File » Show Duplicates menu item. As expected by its name, you can use this feature to help weed out duplicates from your iTunes library. However, many people (myself included) have different versions of songs, remixes and such, which will show up as duplicates when using this feature.

The solution is to hold down the option key prior to selecting this menu item. When you do, Show Duplicates changes to Show Exact Duplicates. In this mode, iTunes shows only true duplicates, and not remixes or alternate versions.

Oh this is so nice. I can get rid of a few (bunch) tunes that are replicants in so many ways.

Fairs – County Fair Pictures – Missouri

Notley Hawkins (aka 10thavenue) has lived in Missouri his whole life. Born and raised in Columbia Missouri he studied painting and drawing at Columbia College with Sid Larson, a student of Thomas Hart Benton. He attended the University of Missouri in Columbia for his Masters degree where he worked with noted artist and cartoonist Frank Stack (aka Foolbert Sturgeon). Notley did additional studies at the prestigious Skowhegan School in Maine. He has also held residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and the Ucross Foundation. His work is in The State Historical Society of Missouri’s collection and The Ashby-Hodge Gallery of American Art’s collection as well as many private collections. Although Notley never took a course in photography, he is firmly entrenched in the photographic arts now. After growing disinterested in painting, he took up photography in 2005 and is now an avid shooter. He takes pictures of all things Missouri including people, places, events and landscapes. Mr. Hawkins just completed his second solo photography exhibition at the Ashby-Hodge Gallery of American Art at Central Methodist University in Fayette Missouri. His next show is scheduled for January 2010 at the PS Gallery in Columbia Missouri.

Yeah, I’m calling it. I think Apple (and others) are about to send Cable TV and Tivo a clear message…your time is almost up. The Web 2.0 world is about to kick the door in and escort the old methodology to pasture. And I think it is going to happen pretty quickly.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Now I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the Apple TV, and plenty of skeptics who think the device doesn’t hit the right technical marks, but I di
