Looking for an excuse to donate to Creative Commons? Donate $50 or more now, and receive a 1GB USB key with a “Best of Jonathon Coulton” MP3 compilation — including the raw tracks so you can remix and mess around to your heart’s content. I went for the $10-a-month-for-a-year option.

Beautiful video of Radiohead’s “Nude” being “performed” on old hardware. (Slightly skeptical because I don’t recall the 48k Spectrum having multi-channel sound, but let’s not piss on the chips of a great clip.) Forward to 1:10 if you want to skip the Spectrum loading sounds.

Interesting Y-Combinator startup which offers a web-based frontend for mixing audio, with the social twist of being able to remix others’ mixes.
