The EFF has posted

The EFF has posted

a list of CDs from Sony-BMG that have been protected by their deeply flawed DRM scheme: Are You Infected by Sony-BMG’s Rootkit? I wonder if any of the affected artists (Trey Anastasio in particular) would have any comment?

I also found

another blog by an old friend/colleague/conspirator, Zoilus by Carl Wilson of the Globe and Mail. Carl is one of the most gifted music writers I’ve ever known, and though we’ve more or less lost touch since he moved to Toronto (I think I’ve seen him twice or three times, not more), it’s always a treat to read his work.

Launched June 2:

CBC Radio 3 Podcasts, “Radio 3’s podcast is truly unique: it’s full of amazing, 100% Canadian music from new and emerging artists. It’s great news for music fans and it’s even better news for independent Canadian musicians. We are extremely excited about the potential for exposing Canadian artists to a wider international audience with this new technology.”

Hours of wonder:

The Alan Lomax Database is now available on the web. Lomax, if you aren’t aware, was obsessive about scouring the US and around the world for authentic folk musical expressions and recording them for posterity. To have this available on the web makes the world a better place. [via Mobtown Blues]

Tech overkill:

My First iPod. “We got a bunch of baby lullabies on multiple CDs and I thought it would be cool to rip them all, put the MP3s on a spare iPod and ‘Pimp His Crib’ with a JBL OnStage.” From Gizmodo.
