HMK Mystery Stream: Week Six


Ok, we've got a few left field goodies courtesy of WFMU for you this week, all of them are perfectly, if not mind-bendingly interesting, depending on your mood, frame of mind, or altered state.

Feel like some cheesy old knee slappin' slightly off-color comedy that's totally not for kids? Well then, you're sure to dig these cocktail induced ramblings: Classy But Sassy

Or perhaps you're in the mood for a good short story? Well, this ain't exactly Selected Shorts but I think you might enjoy a little Acid: The Story Of LSD: Lysergic Acid Diethylamide

Problem: You're going out of town and you don't have an alarm system.
Solution: Put this on loop, press play and enjoy your weekend while this nice old Jewish couple house sits for you: Play It Safe

And hey, wanna buy a guitar? Dig this: Guitar For Sale

And finally, if you're in a dial flipping mode, dig The Reel Night John Lennon Died, a New York Radio Collage from December 8th, 1980, the night Lennon Died.

So, until at least next Thursday, have fun and be nice to each other.

Make It Louder!

Thanks to the amazing folks at WFMU.

Tourfilter


Tourfilter is one of those innovative new business ideas that came about because a smart entrepreneur wanted to solve a personal problem. Founder Chris Marstall kept missing gigs by bands he liked, and needed an easy way to track concert listings. When he couldn't find anything user-friendly or complete enough, he built his own service.

The concept is simple: a user sets up a (free) account, picks his/her own city, and then enters all of the bands he or she would like to see in concert. Twice a day, Tourfilter's software crawls through live music venue listings for each city it covers. If it comes across a band people are tracking, it sends them an email, and lets them receive show updates via RSS or iCal.

Entering a list of bands is fast and easy, with the system giving instant recommendations based on other users' lists. Users can also listen to thousands of MP3 and RealAudio tracks by bands with upcoming shows, and browse recent music blog listings, organized by band.

Think of it as a simple concert and band tracking tool that aims to become the Craigslist of live music listings.

I've got mine set up for Austin...

Keven Eldon: Lecturer


Among other things, we're about to enter the world of the very small...

Ladies & Gentleman -The Art Of Listening.

Absolutely and bodaciously wicked funny.

That is if you simply listen, truly focus.

Relax, and allow yourself to escape and ponder it all...

I double dog dare you.

Waxing Poetic.

HMK Mystery Stream Episode Two

Here's this weeks visual clue:




What is the HMK Mystery Stream?

Sometimes it's music, sometimes it's not....

Perhaps it's a lecture or a speech. Perhaps not.

Maybe it's audio from an Apollo mission or a just a single song.

Maybe.

That's why it's called the HMK Mystery Stream!

Regardless, there's one sure way to find out... Enjoy your trip!

Visit from the Dead Dog



Dig illustrator Tom Gauld and awesome animators Dirty UK's animated promo for Ed Harcourt’s Visit from the Dead Dog.

God, I love this Ed Harcourt song almost as much as my dogs Ringo and Dazy - and dude, I could go on and on about this the bleak but beautiful little black and white gem of a video.

Totally sweet.

Enjoy!
