I haven’t featured a Whole Wheat Radio artist for a few weeks, so here’s my favourite for today! From their WWR artist page:
Media
Photos, music, video, screenshots and associated commentary whatnot. I could have phrased that better. I also have accounts on Flickr, Libre.fm (formerly with Last.fm) and Whole Wheat Radio.

At least it wasn’t Australian Idol or a Big Brother celebrity special, I suppose.

In other news, this is the first post to showcase my brand new graphic to be displayed with pride on each of my Aussie election posts. It’s amazing what 5 minutes in The Gimp and a complete disregard for good design can do :).

The contrast, colour and details on the buildings are terrible, but adjusting the RAW and exporting like this was the only way I could hope to match the colour of the sky out the window this morning. I reckon the real thing was even deeper and bluer than this!
I tell you what, I prefer the climate in Singapore, but nowhere on earth has better skies than Australia :). Except maybe Ireland earlier this year, they had epic skies when we weren’t trapped in a snowbank for long enough to see it.

The rule of thirds is way off, but I like this picture for some reason. Really like all the blue, especially those random flares at the bottom which I can’t account for at all. Ghosts?
Also makes for an interesting contrast with my photo of Singapore a few days ago.

Absolutely the best description outside WholeWheatRadio.org I’ve read of the RIAA, in a comment on a CNET story of all places:

Decided to archive this news graphic here for posterity, might be funny to look back on in a few years. Was lifted from the ABC News website on the 25th, I’m assuming as a product of a publicly funded company I have permission to use it here, or barring that there’s some fair use clause in there somewhere.
Sheesh, I feel as though I need to drop economics as my minor and take legal studies instead. Copyright is perhaps one of the few things more broken than DRM and my old sandals.

In [the] Czech Republic you actually have to pay OSA (they collect money for music usage) if you want to publish your own work (they actually claim that they will return you 70% of that if you sign with them).
Does anyone know if this is true? If it is, I wonder how many Czech internet users are breaking the law with their podcasts? Another case of technology always being two [hundred] steps ahead of the law.
My dad, sis and I went to Plzeň in the Czech Republic in January. Some really beautiful old buildings and great food. Good thing I didn’t attempt to publish any of the audio I recorded while I was there!

I like most of the music that plays on Whole Wheat Radio, but sometimes a song comes on that grabs my attention so much it deserves an opening sentence far better than this one! Today’s such song was by the Kubatana Marimba Ensemble, that just happened to be the Artist of the Day.

Google has announced they’ll start selling books, presumably in electronic form unless they’ve extended their search algorithm to include people frantically working in libraries with magnifying glasses.

In what could be characterised as classic duopoly abuse, Woolworths supermarkets here in Australia have announced they will no longer honour Visa debit card requests. Ugh.
