You want me to de-prioritize my current reports until you advise of a status upgrade?
I stumbled upon this visual music search engine this morning before getting to work. It ain’t pretty but its a very cool idea… You enter the name of a band that you like and it shows you a visual representation of related artists. Check it out.
Ch – Check It Out Lyrics
All you trekkies and tv addicts
Don’t mean to diss
Don’t mean to bring static
All you klingons in the fuckin’ house
Grab your backstreet friend and get loud
Blowin’ doors off hinges
I’ll grab you with the pinchers
And no i didn’t retire
I’ll snatch you up
With the needle nose pliers
Like mutual of omaha
Got the ill boat
You’ve never seen before
Gliding in the glades
And like lorne greene
You know i get paid
Like caprese and with the basil
Not goofy like darren or hazel
I’m a mother fucking nick at night with
Classics rerunning that you know all right
Now remain calm no alarm
Cause my farm ain’t fat
So what’s up with that
I’ve got friends and family that i respect
When i think i’m too good
They put me in check
So believe when i say i’m no better than you
Except when i rap
So i guess it ain’t true
Like that y’all and you just don’t stop
Guaranteed to make your body rock
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
What-wha-what-what-what’s it all about
Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Let’s turn this motherfuckin’ party out
Said, “doc what’s the condition
I’m a man that’s on a mission”
Said, “son, you’d better listen
Stuck in your ass
Is an electrician”
Like a scientist
Mmmm when i’m applying this
Method of controlling my mind
Like einstein and the rappin’ duke combined
Hey baby bubba now what the deal
I didn’t know you go for that mass appeal
Some call it salugi
Some hot potato
I stole your mic and you won’t see it later
Cause i work magic like a magician
I add up like a mathematician
I’m a bank cashier
Engineer
I wear cotton but i don’t wear sheer
Shazam and abracadabra
In the whip i’m gonna cruise past ya
Yo money, don’t chump yourself
Put that shit back on the shelf
Light rays blazin’
You’re out of phase
And my crews amazin’
We’re working on the record yo
So stay patient
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
What-wha-what-what-what’s it all about
Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Let’s turn this motherfuckin’ party out
Now, i go by the name of the king adrock
I don’t wear a cup nor a jock
I bring the shit that’s beyond bizarre
Like miss piggy
Who moi
I am the one with the clientele.
You say, “adrock, you rock so well”
I’ve got class like pink champale
Mca grab the mic before the mic goes stale
Don’t test me
They can’t arrest me
I’ll fake right cross-over and shoot lefty
You look upset, yo calm down
You look cable guy dunked off of your crown
I flow like smoke out a chimney
You never been me
You wanna rap but what you’re making ain’t hip hop b
Get your clothes right out the dryer
Put armor all up on your tire
Sport that fresh attire
Tonight we goin’ out set the town on fire
Set the town ablaze
Gonna stun and amaze
Ready to throw a craze
Make your granny shake her head
And say, “those were the days”
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
What-wha-what-what-what’s it all about
Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Let’s turn this motherfuckin’ party out
Phontaine is a Rad dj. Go buy his music. You won’t regret it! You can listen to some online here.
Futureshop.ca is about to launch a music download site. I’ll be interested to see what music format they support etc…
Looks like they are going with some crappy windows media format…

BOING BOING:
“Koleman Strumpf, a conservative, Cato-affiliated economist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has just co-authored a paper on the effects of file-sharing on album sales, based on the first-ever empirical data analysis in the field. Koleman watched the file requests on OpenNap servers (to get numbers on which albums’ tracks are being downloaded) and compared them to the sales-figures for each album, correlating file-sharing popularity against sales data. His conclusion: file-sharing isn’t killing record sales.”
Koleman Strumpf’s Home Page:
We analyze a large file sharing dataset which includes 0.01% of the world’s downloads from the last third of 2002. We focus on users located in the U.S. Their audio downloads are matched to the album they were released on, for which we have concurrent U.S. weekly sales data. This allows us to consider the relationship between downloads and sales. To establish causality, we instrument for downloads using technical features related to file sharing (such as network congestion or song length) and international school holidays, both of which are plausibly exogenous to sales. We are able to obtain relatively precise estimates because the data contain over ten thousand album-weeks…
Even in the most pessimistic specification, five thousand downloads are needed to displace a single album sale…high selling albums actually benefit from file sharing.
