to save it, alt+click on a mac, or right-click on a windows, and choose save target as…
.
or, better, follow my instructions to add this podcast chanel.

I’ve been looking to my stats, and the music category is the most visited. it was time to automate some functions, so I was searching for how this podcast thing works, and now I got it.
.
podcast is a way to automatically download and listen to audio files from the web. yeah, the name says podcast just because ipod brought the technology into light, but you don’t have to own one to use it. any regular connection works (you are online, aren’t you?)
.
so, to automatically download and listen to the songs I offer here (and even sync to your ipod, if, if), just follow these steps:
.

1. download and install ipodder. it’s free + open source, and works on mac, pc, linux and even pocket pc!
   

2. open ipodder, open the subscriptions tab, and click on the green plus sign.
   
   it will open the add a feed prompt.

3. on the URL field, type http://blog.nonlinearmatters.com/cat/music/feed/ (better yet, copy it and paste there). save.
4. click on the blue button, the check selected feed one.
   
   it’ll download any song I link from the music category, and export it to your itunes.

5. from there, you can either listen it right away or sync the mp3s to your ipod (if, if).
6. and yeah, the ipodder does more than download the songs I show you, but a lot of other nice podcasts out there! II’m still new with this podcast stuff, but two feeds that got me are 2600 [ http://www.2600.com/rss.xml ] and comic geek [ http://www.bryandeemer.com/cgs/rss.xml ].

a lot of emotions I want to share, but I’m not very good with english language. but music is universal, huh? so I decided to share some of the songs I’m most into, five at a time.
.
click on the banner below, and you can listen to it. courtesy of soundblox (which I used in zona visser, another project of mine)

800.03, Gab.Gato

this song is so obscure I don’t even have it’s actual name… just 800.03.mp3, and that’s it.
how I feel: a cyborg rechecking its peripherals before a procedure. a subroutine. grey, cold, and monotone. detached and snobby.
also check: the “automatuch”, or something like that. the different voices for different subroutines.
grab it: there’s no way iTMS has it (even google shows meager pages about). and since some other sites offer the mp3, you can download from me too. (control-click on windows, alt-click on a mac)

Aéro Dynamik, Kraftwerk

how I feel: in a happy airport. optimistic. it’s a mantra, you know.
also check: the starry bleeps. the chorus, sinalizing the way.
grab it: iTMS has it, fellas. buy it there, and deDRM it later with jhymn.

In The Future With Machines, FPU

how I feel: a good song for a drag queen to perform. vfull of drama.
also check: the egiptian bg. the lyrics, in fact.
grab it: no digital store around, but cds, still. sorry, folks

Konpyuta, Plastique de Réve

how I feel: archeologists find an ancient document detailing the purposes of computers. historic revisionism, reifying the digital experience. technognosis.
also check: the german/japanese voice. the attention to spell kon-pyu-ta right. like if the desitiny of mankind depends on it.
grab it: nowhere around, so grab it from me. (control-click on windows, alt-click on a mac)

Scorpio, The Fever

how I feel: powerful, but headed to a fall. doomed. scorpio people are short-sighted, you know. feel like placing a bet you can’t cover. pokerface all around.
also check: egyptian bg also. guitars, a thing I don’t usually like, but worked right on it.
grab it: on iTMS. (did I say about jhymn already?)

my mourning technique has been frantically visiting forums to read their opinions about the reelection… some quotes below (and above).

Dan Gillmor’s eJournal: “The latest word on climate change is that with the uncovering of sequestered carbon in the arctic by melting ice sheets, the rate of climate change will increase, not decrease. There’s a positive feedback loop in place now, and it will take even more to counteract it. Without added forests, greenbelts, and estuaries, there won’t be adequate photosynthetic activity to counteract the increased burning of fossil fuels. We could see 20 foot rises in ocean level in 50 years. Dan could be going to his office in San Jose by boat.

Ask yourself this: Why has the Bush administration fired scientists who won’t write biased papers to support the administrations pro-industry agenda? Why have lobbyists for energy and chemical companies been put in charge of our environmental protection, our public lands, especially our parks and precious remaining wilderness areas?

A: The large corporations, who owe no aliegance to any particular people of the world, are perfectly willing to corrupt the political system to boost their short-term profits, with no regard for our long-term welfare. You don’t have to work for any multi-national corporation for very long to see how that happens.

Perhaps the religeous right foolishly believe that god will take their faithful to heaven in the next four years, leaving the rest of us rot in a planet increasingly like Venus. It appears that their blissful ignorance, their reliance on one ancient book as the source of all truth, has made them sheep, lead by myopic executives with only quarterly profits in mind. They’ve blissfully carried us closer to our own destruction.

What we really need in technology policy is the principle that no costs be externalized. Companies and individuals must be responsible for the polution they create, the resources they extract, the health risks they cause. Tech policy should be based on true capitalism where products and services actually have to include the costs to the commons, not government subsidies to extractive and environmentally exploitive industries.”
