Perry Farrell’s Satellite Party

May 28, 2007 – 7:33 am | Written by robert duffy

You can stream the entire album by Satellite Party, Perry Farrell’s new musical project, over on their MySpace page. I’ve been listening to it this morning, and while it’s not the worst thing out there, I don’t see myself illegally downloading buying it anytime soon.

I understand the creative urge to keep producing new product, but like Harrison Ford’s film career, I feel like each project Perry does tarnishes his earlier work which was nothing short of amazing.

The new album is out tomorrow.

CD Baby makes me smile

CD Baby may have one of the worst logos on the web, but I can’t think of a place to buy CDs with more personality. During the checkout process of ordering the latest aether album, they asked if I had any special requests. They said I could ask for “anything.” So I asked that they draw smiley faces on the shipping envelope. I thought the request would throw their shipping department into an uproar.

But then the package arrived and there they were: five smiling pen strokes.

Somebody actually listened to me. Try getting that kind of personalization out of your favorite retailer’s supply chain process.

Ted Leo’s Website Finally Redesigned

April 22, 2007 – 7:00 pm | Written by robert duffy

Never have I loved a musician while equally hating their website. Luckily, the Ted Leo website was finally redesigned. I’d love to see an RSS feed for Ted’s news/blog area, but I’ll take what I can get.

I miss you, The Ravonettes.

Good to see you’ve got a few new yummy demos on your MySpace page and are going to be touring this summer (how about a Columbus, Ohio show?).

Also it was lovely to watch a recent show (March 11) from Maxwell’s in glorious streaming action.

Keep in touch, okay? Thanks.

I miss you, Shout Out Louds.

Good to see you’ve signed to Merge Records and have a new record coming out soon.

Also it was lovely to watch a new video in Glorious Quicktime.

Keep in touch, okay? Thanks.

Chip Midnight’s Atomic Side

April 10, 2007 – 8:03 am | Written by robert duffy

Donewaiting.com writer Chip Midnight has launched yet another new website, Atomic Ned. Named after the column he ran on this very site, Chip says Atomic Ned is going to be his one-stop shop for just about everything he writes for himself.

I think he’s taking this one pretty seriously, considering his baby Swizzle Stick actually redirects to the new Ned site…
