Just because I have to get back to regular posting someday:
– Announcing Mumkin, the newest addition to the clipfile.org family of weblogs. It’s run by the lovely and talented Abby Wood — Harvard Law student, crabwalk.com reader, ex-Dallasite, and one-time-long-ago blind date of mine. Abby is working at USAID in Egypt this summer. Remember that sunscreen, Ab!
– JustConcerts.com, the CBC‘s online catalog of recent Canadian concerts. Mostly indie rock, including crabwalk.com faves like Calexico, the Decemberists, and the Weakerthans. (By the way, the Weakerthans‘ Left and Leaving is absolutely wonderful. Couldn’t stop listening to it last week. Track 11, in particular.)
Anyway, combine the RealAudio streams from JustConcerts.com and something like Audio Hijack and you’ve got lots of new good material for your iPod. (Audio Hijack rocks. Great for recording This American Life or other NPR shows for a long drive, too.)
– Sorority Girls From Hell, a fast-talking blast from the 1980s and the 1950s — at the same time!
– Pitchformula.com, in which a data network engineer tries to algorithmically determine what Pitchforkmedia.com wants in an album.
– My column from last Monday, since I didn’t get a chance to link to it then.
– Beulah is breaking up. Glad I caught them a couple weeks ago.
