Just links to a couple of interesting music related ‘making of’ vids on YouTube…

Steely Dan - the making of Peg (if anyone has a link to the story behind Peg I’d be interested, always intrigued me that song)
Flaming Lips - making of the making of video

and one for the lads… Making Of Estela Pereira

Nope, not a new show from Endemol (but remember where you heard the idea first…) but instead a nice bit of self promotional film work from the chaps at Lean Mean Fighting Machine. All the old dudes act so well and it’s got a nice touch of humanity to it… as the one guy says in the video, it’s about making experiences that a user remembers!

I’ve been working on a little plugin for MediaMonkey that, err… ‘pays homage’ to the nifty context panel in Amarok.

The code’s still pretty messy (VB, bleugh!) but functional enough. Thought I’d get it out there and see if anyone else finds it useful before I waste any more time on it

Thanks to Tink for pointing out that I had ‘must be registered to post comment’ turned on, thats obviously the reason that my hundreds of thousands of regular readers haven’t left many comments here (yeah right!) but that is now fixteded, so bring it on…!

In complete contrast to Tink’s rather excelent dark toonz, may I point your ears towards the rather interesting ‘My First Mix Tape’ by very soon to be mega-star Lily Allen. Mixings pretty poor in places, but her tunes are great, diggin ‘Cheryl Tweedy’ mixed with 31 seconds

The videos for Smile & LDN are both pretty funny too.
