ocean drive, by FPU
.
this song reminds me of all the adventure me and jeff are having in this country… all the options, and the choice we make, and what we lost in the process.
.
usually i don’t have time to look at my life now and gaze it as a piece of art, like I’ll surelly do in the future.
.
so, this song cut some steps, and makes me nostalgic of the present, paying attention to my choices, making me feel mythical again. the way it should be.
.

white linen on your back
black secrets on your mind
a past you tried to hide
and a life you left behind
the pastel days and neon nights
the guilty hearts and alibis
the streets run red on ocean drive
but can our love survive
.
I see too many of the wrong men die
for stealing their dreams and buying time
in your eyes I saw the rising sun
and still I sold myself for a badge and a gun
.
I’ve seen too many of the wrong men die
For stealing their dreams and buying time
I never thought I spend these nights alone
Now I walk the streets trying to find my way back home
.
It’s just me and you tonight

RIAA radar is a bookmarklet that warns you if the band you search is RIAA related or not.
.
think of it as a “moral scanner” of your listening habits.
.
i had an idea, so, of an app that scans your entire music library and gives you a percentage of how much RIAA owns you. below, my mail:
.

Hey, I loved the idea of a RIAA Radar. We are living in strange times, with big corporations bombarding us with misleading information, so some form of accounting is good to return to reality.
.
The bookmarklet is a nice idea, but it just checks one band per time.
.
My idea (here we goes) is to have an app that imports your iTunes Music Library, analyses it, and in response brings you to a page with your % of RIAA-owned songs, with a banner so people can copy it on their blogs/websites.
.
in this sense, the service would be an oracle, or a social badge, where you advertise how much RIAA “owns” your musical tastes. People could in this way compare their habits with each other. a social game, so.
