Sony Music Apparently Owns Bradford Cox’s Bedroom

Sony Music had Blogger delete Bradford Cox’s uploaded songs. Original songs. That he wrote and recorded himself. In his bedroom. They cited “piracy.”

Officials may be overstating the danger from WikiLeaks

Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx– We’re New Here

While being a huge fan of Gil Scott-Heron, his latest album I’m New Here was one of my biggest disappointments this year. The “modern” approach ended up being a weak copy of Tricky’s output back in the nineties and the sad shape of Gil’s voice could not add anything good to that.

A year after the release, Jamie xx (of The xx) is coming up with his interpretations of 13 songs from the album. Judging from the track below, the outcome might actually be ahead of the original.

Coil Reconstruction Kit

Coil's 16 DVD box set Colour Sound Oblivion featured many live shows. The final two discs featured the projections used in the live shows, these were published under a Creative Commons license.

Included here are the final two discs in a variety of formats, for watching on computer, burning to DVD, prepared for editing and listening. Audio has been converted from 16-bit 48khz LPCM to flac via a lossless process. For high quality playback, i recommend the mkv option with flac audio (look in the "Other Files" section at the bottom of the file list). VLC Player (free) is the recommended player of choice, which supports many open formats.
