Donewaiting.com Writers Begin Their Favorites of 2004 List Parade

Throughout the rest of the month, all of the donewaiting.com writers will be posting their favorite albums of 2004 on the site. We’re happy to launch this section of the website today, beginning with David A. Cobb of Houston Calling.

Click here to get our 2004 favorites coverage. Once all the writers have submitted their favorites list, we’ll try to mathematically figure out a few “overall favorites” based on everyone else’s picks.

Two Firefox Extension for Music Lovers

The thing about the Firefox browser is that it’s really easy to customize it and add extra features that you might want. Here’s two recommendations for all y’all hyper music fans out there:

#1. Foxytunes allows you to control iTunes (and other mp3 players like Winamp) right inside the Firefox browser, with simple controls and commands that blend in perfectly with the UI.

#2. Download Them All is an extension that adds a function which allows you to download all of the mp3s linked on a particular page.

Say your favorite music mp3 blog has twenty mp3s linked from it. Instead of going to each link, clicking SAVE AS and downloading them individually, this extension will scan the page, find the mp3 links, and download them all nice and easy.

Any novice user of Firefox can get theses to work. Heck, I did…

End of Year

The donewaiting.com writers are busy putting together their favorite albums of 2004 lists, but while we’re working that you can write your own list (or read everyone else’s) here in the message board. For extra credit, check out the discussion regarding the most disappointing records of the year.

Calm Down w/ Your Coachella Fantasies

Rumors are flying around about this list of “confirmed” bands playing Coachella. Well, if you read Billboard you’ll know that the dates for the show aren’t even confirmed yet.

Donewaiting.com SXSW Music Festival Blog Returns

SXSW is four months away, but we’re starting to get reports on bands attending. Because of that, I’ve launched a quick no-frills version of our SXSW05Music Festival blog.

Last year we became one of the top destinations for SXSW news and information, and this year we plan to do it again. BIGGER and BETTER, no less!

Slobberbone Calling It Quits

From their site:

And in the spirit of the New Year and, thusly, of new beginnings, I wish to tell you of two very significant aspects to this year-end’s festivities: 1.) it will be the last New Year’s show at the Barley House as we know it, as it will begin shortly after the beginning of the year to stretch its atrophied tendons, muster the strength of its years, and pull itself up from its foundation to begin its tortoise-like journey to its new location a few blocks to the north. Please help us to stink up the old room New Years – style one more time. 2.) this will be Slobberbone’s last Barley House and, indeed, our last Dallas show ever. We too have decided it’s time to stretch some tendons and raze the walls we have built and maintained for so long.
