i want to audioblog
after several attempts in the past to share music with folks, i'm starting to think i should start an audio blog a la folks like oliver and jason. it'll actualy be a lot easier for me to keep up with an audioblog than this regular blog. for one, i have some mos def on mixtapes that sounds a lot more focused than the new album, though i'm not hating the new album. and it's that real east coast shit - with the focus on lyricism - wordsmiths - ya' know it.
anyway, i'm going to contemplate the audioblog thing while i contemplate this upgrade on MT, cuz comment spam is kicking my ass big time, especially when i don't post anything new or have been away from email for several days. (new sidekick II should remedy that email situation - shout outs to mister jt, my partner in crime on that one).

Jason has an audio blog?????? No one sent me the memo!!
I've been dying to start one to. I don't have broadband at home so uploading is a real pain. Plus the bandwidth charge scares me.
Hopefully by next month we'll have one at Mixtapes-Etc.com. That Mos stuff would be a good look. Share, share, share...

hit my link, Hashim, it's there.
Lynne, I'd be all about an audio blog from you. Especially if you gave a little commentary on the tracks. I'm always interested in what you're listening to.
I don't hate New Danger either...it just could be better. A lot better actually. But it's listenable. Especially in small doses.

cosign on The New Danger.
I sometimes wonder if I'm needing a change and needing to dip into the audioblog arena, seeing as I radio.blog more than I actually write anything these days. i'm getting pretty self-conscious about it.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat (or same thought process) with you, Lynne.
I'm trying to figure out this audio blog thingy, too. I have been bumping into some great music that has flew under the radar of music fans. Particularly, Martin Luther's CD Rebel Soul Music (a soulful masterpiece) and yes, Ciara's new CD Goodies (it's crunkilicous!).
Beats and Rants was so about the music, but it's turn into a meme blog because I just don't have the time to analyze and write about music.
It would be so easy for me to just have a audio blog and give y'all the hot ish with some commentary. But the audio blog process for me seems like a hassle -- bandwidth issues, converting songs to MP3 all kinds of bullshit. Plus, I can't hook up an audioblog on Typepad.
I don't know. I'm trying to figure things out. There's got to be an easier way to do this shiznit.
But Lynne, we need you out there in the trenches, giving us the 4-1-1 on the hotness! An audioblog is so you.
I need to get a Sidekick II, as well. Although the new Treo 650 sure is purrtty.
Mos Def CD The New Danger is ii-ight. I downloaded four joints of the disc that I thought were banging. If you really want to hear an eclectic mix of rap with reggae, calypso, big-band jazz, rock and pop, pick up k-os' CD Joyful Rebellion. Now that's some hot shit right thuurr.
