Of Montreal - Nowhere Man (Beatles cover)
Solid tribute to one of the most gorgeous songs ever written.
1 day agoPearl Jam - Whip It (Devo cover)
From last week’s Halloween show, closing out the Philly Spectrum. Low quality vid, but still fun.
1 day agoThem Crooked Vultures - Mind Eraser, No Chaser
OK, so maybe this doesn’t touch the balls out rock I think this band sounds like live, but I’ll still buy the album when it comes out. For now, this is their sneak preview (released for free on iTunes).
1 day agoMiles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - Shake a Shot
My friend Todd got me hooked on MBAR’s first album, so naturally I wanted to hear the second. I was surprised to hear how sonically expansive it is, then I noticed that Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio) was the producer. Everything that guy touches just works.
4 days agoAnother wonderful creation from Eclectic Method. Apparently, Phish opened their show last night w this one. (via JahFurry)
5 days agoParliament - Mothership Connection
No band is more a part of Halloween than George Clinton and his posse.
Aretha Franklin - Love The One You’re With (Stephen Stills cover)
Getting covered by Aretha may be the greatest compliment an artist can receive.
1 week agoTim Hardin - If I Knew
I carry all I need in a basket of needless sorrow.
That is heavy from awaiting on what it always tomorrow.
I also agree with myself.

So I think this is too general.
I would break it down as follows - and these phases all bleed into each other:
1. first phase was ISP phase - content and distribution distributed thru the ISP on ramps. ISPs provided access and services
2. second phase was portals (AOL and the like) - characterized by the idea that all your services and content are under one roof
3. third phase = search (characterized by the idea “you dont need to remember anything just need to know where to find it” - that’s why the Google UI was so much more radical than given credit for)
4. fourth phase - just beginning now - “real time social distribution” (“if something is important it will find me”) - characterized by the final breakdown of the traditional media content producer/distributor/consumer buckets, which now blend into one (and indeed there are no more consumers, there are “users”).
Each phase lasts about 10 years.
Johnny Cash - No Expectations (Rolling Stones Cover)
Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I’ve got no expectations
To pass through here again
