the music died, for you? Well, maybe not completely, but if not, when did you first notice a definite turnaround? If you don’t feel this way at all, please expound and illuminate everyone.

Muxin’ It Up
Posted by s woods on August 13, 2008
Decided to do something a little different with my latest “muxtape” – posted some interviews and spoken word stuff, including a two-parter with Lester Bangs. Listen to it here. [Note: I'm not sure muxtape appreciates the length of all these... previewing some of them at work, I noticed that they cut off early.]
And while on the topic of old interviews, Pacifica Radio Archives, in a tribute to 1968, recently posted a discussion with Pauline Kael (among a bunch of other interesting clips), which you can download or stream here.

Information Highway OD and the User-friendly Remedy
Posted by A.C. Rhodes on August 7, 2008
We’ve all heard the declarations before; Internet websites are killing print media and print outclasses the net by being the most traditional, convenient and often better quality form of news. It’s like the cable versus major network argument, except with more public participation. All these forms of information sharing and interaction, yet one big communication breakdown. So, what are readers, and especially writers, to do?
Jason Gross, Perfect Sound Forever editor and freelance writer, offers his considered assessment along with some imaginative solutions in his guide, “Surviving the Net Crunch: A Practical Guide for Print Publications in a Digital World,” at PopMatters. One-quarter good hearted “stop sniveling” and three-parts solution focused, there is great for thought, practice and interaction, as respondents have already replied to the article. Both bring up the possibility of symbiosis; how the two media forms may not only coexist, but become a beneficial compliment, playing off the other for innovative content and readership ideas. Why not discuss amongst yourselves here, or there?
