Metallica - Some Kind of Monster - James vs Lars
the important lesson to take away from this is that Lars is a complete dick.

The Loudness War
I'm not saying that compression is bad - just that it gets way too abused way too often.
I was listening to an emo album yesterday (don't ask) and it struck me that the compression induced slaughtering of the dynamic range was completely killing the impact of the choruses. After 30 mins of everything at the same level I felt really drained. That's pretty typical of mainstream production these days.
The Loudness War
I was complaining about this just yesterday.
I'm sick of the amounts of compression that's being used. They don't really care about how it sounds at home - they care about how loud it sounds relative to everything else on the radio. The reason TV ads sound so loud is because they compress the sound over and over again.
So much of the impact is lost in this process. not only that but the recordings are fatiguing to listen to.

Funding VideoSift (Sift Talk Post)
Looris, I'm not so sure that paid videos would have trouble getting out of the queue. Good viral clips still do well normally.
I do like the idea of having charter members being able to opt out of certain types of ads.
Drunken Angel - Lucinda Williams
awwww, one of my favourites. Lucinda is one of the people I'd most like to get drunk with (though Eden suggests that judging by the way she sings she'd probably be a pretty mean drunk).
Had the pleasure of seeing her play last year. amazing talent.
