Lonely Island! It shouldn't be funny, but it is...

Did you toil endlessly in 2008 and not follow all the latest music coming out?

Did you realize you spent all year floating over one album on repeat and missed out on the thousands of new albums that swam right by you?

Are you an unabashed pop music junkie and have been listening to the same 10 songs on the radio all day (but not KCRW or KUSF)?

Then go to:

http://www.imeem.com/extravaganza

URB magazine did a short article about me. they embedded one of my random playlists into the article too. which was cool. i think that's the first time one of my playlists has been posted in a magazine.

Over the past several months, the imeem team has been working to redesign our website to make it easier for you to discover and enjoy new music on imeem. We’ve been paying close attention to the activity on the site and listening to your feedback, and we’re excited to share the new site changes with you today.

We’ve reorganized the front door of the site, changed the navigation menu you see at the top of every page, and created entirely new and fun features for you. Why? We wanted to organize all the social activity happening on imeem to surface the most relevant music, video and entertainment for you. Here is a rundown of the new and improved imeem:

Spotlight: The new Spotlight page features the latest exciting music, videos and entertainment people are posting on imeem and that we think you should know about. We’ll refresh this page frequently to let you know what’s hot on imeem today, such as exclusive new music, popular videos, and celebrity playlists from your favorite artists. Click here to see Spotlight.

Discover: imeem created the all new Discover page to give you personalized recommendations of music, videos, artists and people we think you might like based upon your listening and viewing habits and those of the people you are connected to in the imeem community. By constantly analyzing your likes, dislikes, and who your friends and favorite artists are, we’re able to give you a unique set of recommended music, video, playlists, artists and events. One of the cool things about this new section is that the more you use imeem, the better it gets. Click here to see Discover.

Browse: The Browse page offers chart-based browsing of any media content (think music, videos, photos and more) based on its popularity site-wide. You can now filter by content type, genre, and popularity in the imeem community. Surfing the vast amount of playlists, music, video, and photos posted by users has never been easier. Click here to see Browse.

Artist Pages: You can now search to find new Artist Pages, which pull everything posted by the community related to that artist into one page on the site. Now you’ll have easy access to the complete catalog of content created by the artist and can see who else is a fan on imeem. Like Lil’ Wayne or Radiohead? Check out their Artist Page that features tour dates, all time most popular songs and videos, playlists of all their albums and more. Click here for Lil’ Wayne and here for Radiohead.

You still have all the features you had before, including the ability to upload and stream unlimited music and videos for free and make playlists that you can share anywhere across the Web. We hope the new changes will help you connect and discover new music, artists, and videos, find new friends with common tastes in music and socialize around the things you’re passionate about.

Today is just one of many steps in the growth of imeem. We’ll continue to create new features and improve things across our service. Thank you for being a part of the imeem community and giving us your feedback. We’ll have some new developments to share with you in the near future. Stay tuned!

http://www.thedailyswarm.com/swarm/update-government-intervenes-mexicos-emo-war-calls-unity/

So a lot has happened in the past few months since i last posted a blog...SXSW, Coachella, tons of crazy stuff at work, global warming, surfing accidents, weddings, world crisis, etc etc. But not until now have I had something to blog about...

this happened right after the Arcade Fire concert i went to last weekend in Berkeley. this is why blogs were created. the comments on this blog are funny as shit.

i'll add new stuff to the playlist when I run across music videos that catch my attention. i'm into CG and animation so many of the choices in my playlist go in that direction.
