Death of the album? Coolfer and I debate...

10 days ago by aram sinnreich

The specific quote was: "This is a last gasp for the album format," says Aram Sinnreich, a media professor at Ne ...

Hanspree in San Francisco

21 days ago by Shahid

I often walk down Stockton to town, and I’ve passed by this shop many times.

If not, I offer you this link. Hanspree prod ...

Professor Tedlow at the Computer History Museum

21 days ago by Shahid

My $0.02 on the Sony/BMG split

32 days ago by aram sinnreich

Yesterday, Sony and Bertelsmann announced that S will buy up B's half of their 50/50 joint venture record label, Sony BMG, for $900 million (plus an extra $300 in cash holdings B already "owns"). My primary take is that this is a victory for vertical integration in a period of diversifying revenue o ...
