I’m a big fan of unique and custom icons on my Mac, so I was thrilled to see the Helveticons Folders . I’ve already started using them on my desktop to organize myself with a little splash of color. The best part? The folders are free.
There are also, of course the paid icons as ...

I just spent way too much time over at Dust & Grooves ogling gorgeous, well-organized vinyl collections. You should do the same!

Hey – I got nothing against what I know about The Gaslight Anthem, Pitchfork – fellow Jerseyans, write some good songs, etc. – but doesn’t my 20+ years of service in this industry qualify me for a journalistic benefit of the doubt that I’m probably not being influenced by them ...

Saying “no” to a speaking engagement, event, or networking event does not mean you’ll disappear into obscurity forever. On the contrary, it means that when you do show up, you’ll be more interesting because you’ll have had time to actually build things and/or learn. Being a “snob” of sorts will ...

Fraser is still furious with herself for staying in the band for two years (and another album, 1996's Milk and Kisses) after her relationship with Guthrie ended – "but we were terribly over-contracted and I wasn't strong enough to stop it". The resulting tensions, she says, caused the ...

We’re living in a stylistic tropics. There’s a whole generation of people able to access almost anything from almost anywhere, and they don’t have the same localised stylistic sense that my generation grew up with. It’s all alive, all “now,” in an ever-expanding present, be it Hildegard of ...

There's some chatter on the internets about a move by Panasonic that will end production of the iconic Technics 1200 line of analog turntables. The guys over at Nylvi are on top of it and have it looks like the quotes may be applicable to the Australian market only.

The band is a collaboration between Mew lead singer Bjerre, Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman and Magne Furuholmen from Norwegian pop sensations A-Ha. It's quite the unlikely combination of artists. Could sound sublime, could sound like a cat dancing in a sack of sandpaper and bricks. Berryman's a ...

Listeners of Absolute Radio, on 105.8 FM in London, who use the nano’s built-in radio player, will now be able to ‘tag’ songs they like. This allows them to find out a track’s name, the artist, listen to a preview and then purchase it through the iTunes store.

I wonder who is the Velvet Underground of the animal kingdom… I vote for the naked mole rat, giant spitting earthworm, or goliath bird-eating spider. All are quite influential, and they’ve all collaborated with Lou Reed. What more could you want?

"Your future gets shorter and you recognize that. In recent years, I have had no desire to do anything but work and be with [son] John. I hear people talking about going on a vacation or something and I think, what is that about? I have no desire to go on a trip. My perfect day is sitting ...
