movable type, music, and my purchasing habits
If you have ever used “Movable Type”:http://www.movabletype.org, then hopefully you’ve heard about the husband and wife team behind it. Mena and Ben Trott are their names. Anyway, if you have heard their names, then you’ve probably read about them at some time. If you have, this song is pretty funny.
Note: Unless you are a stalker, you won’t get all the references. Luckily, “Joi”:http://joi.ito.com/archives/2003/10/28/pet_rock_stars_back_and_your_own_dot_org_is_up.html can help you out with them.
-Since i’m evil and lazy and since this site gets no traffic, I am going to link right to Joi’s copy of the song.- “Here it is”:/mp3/ShannonCampbell-YourOwnDotOrg.mp3. It’s been released under a “Creative Commons”:http://creativecommons.org/ license. Basically, it means you are not doing anything illegal by listening to this mp3.

And now since we are on the topic of music, let me let you in on a discovery I made about my music buying process today.
Amazing albums match my mood wherever I am regardless of what I am doing. Others are amazing depending on what I am doing at the time I am listening.
When I purchase music, I have to know where I will listen to it. I was just listening to the previews of Jet’s “new album”:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000AQVCL/qid=1067419245/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-0895184-9288909?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 on the “iTunes store”:http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/ when I realized I trying to visualize when and where I would listen to it. Walking came to mind; in particular, the long walk up 19th street that I have to do every Monday to get to my “voice lesson”:http://www.sfcm.org. Anyway, I realize I’ve been doing this visualizing thing for awhile now, I just didn’t realize I was doing it before now. Is it just me?
Think that’s all for tonight.
