En procédant à une relecture hautement jouissive de tout ce que la musique a généré de plus stimulant ces trois dernières décennies, aussi bien en termes de créativité et d'innovation que d'énergie, le groupe renoue avec l'esprit de liberté mâtiné d'imaginaire psychédélique qui florissait dans les séculaires années 70
myAWOL: A Music Label For The Digital Age
by sbrothier
myAWOL (My Artists Without Labels) is looking to show the big four how it’s done. The site is taking a multi-pronged approach to tackle the music industry with the web: first, it will roll out a professional database to help establish itself as an authority in the space. Then, this Fall, it will introduce a consumer site that will function as a mix between a music community, online television channel, and independent music label.

Sweeper : Automatically tag your music collection with metadata from Last.fm
by sbrothier

(via)
A while back Last.fm released a command line tool to retrieve metadata for an arbitrary mp3 from their new fingerprint database. I tried it yesterday and it seemed way better than MusicBrainz. So, as a person with a lot of random mp3s, I cooked up a script for retagging entire folders of songs.
Last.fm Tagger
by sbrothier
So, I'm trying my hand at Cocoa, namely RubyCocoa. Objective-C is a bit out of my grasp right now. If I start needing big performance boosts, I'll go that route. In the meantime, writing RubyCocoa apps is insanely fun. I wrote this basic tagger in 2 days (roughly 6 hours) and it works pretty well!
If you plan on trying out this app, create a small playlist with the name 'lastfmtagger' and put a few albums in there.

AutoRate : iTunes rating made easy
by sbrothier
This application automatically sets the rating for all tracks in your iTunes library according to how often each track is played, and how often each track is skipped.
Tracks that are frequently skipped are penalised, while often-played tracks are given a higher rating. This is particularly useful when using the 'Play higher rated songs more often' option with Party Shuffle, or using smart playlists.

The Married Monk
by sbrothier
Ne jamais être là où on l'attend, tel semble être la devise artistique de The Married Monk. Successeur inattendu de The Belgian Kick, ce cinquième album est la musique d'Elephant People, un opéra pop qui rassemble les figures emblématiques de la monstruosité. Pour l'occasion, le chanteur guitariste Christian Quermalet, le bassiste Philippe Lebruman, le saxophoniste Etienne Jaumet et le nouveau batteur Nicolas Courret (Bed, Headphone), qui jouent sur scène pendant des représentations ont concocté une bande-son alternant chansons enivrantes et passages parlés par les comédiens du spectacle, dont la créature post-moderne Vincent McDoom.

L'Anthologie sonore
by sbrothier
L'Anthologie sonore is historicaly the second "Thesaurus" of Early Music. Discs were recorded under that label between 1933 and the mid 1950s in France, initially under the artistic direction of Curt Sachs. He was also the artistic director of the first one, "2,000 years of music, a concise history of the development of music from the earliest times through the 18th century" in the very early 1930s, just before he left Germany for France where he founded "L'Anthologie sonore". I loosely translated and adapted for the next section an article on l'Anthologie sonore written by Mr Armand Panigel that appeared in 1951 in the French periodical "Disques." Mr Panigel was then the director of the periodical.
