Fizy! Music for the Rest of Us

Yet another "Web 2.0" app to write about... This time, its Fizy! Have you ever just wanted to hear one song to get it out of your head, or look up an old classic, or just play one awesome song over and over again? Well now you can... for now that is..

Fizy is a super-simple, easy-to-use search engine / music player that probably has a couple weeks to live. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, I love the style, I love the simplicity, I love the way the songs just come up and play. Its fast, easy, and makes P2P just about useless if you only have an itching to hear a song once or twice. The advertising possibilities are endless! But then again... that's what people said about Pandora. Now I love Pandora as much as the next music junkie, but its become a lot less useful ever since the RIAA had their way with it.

I really love the direction Fizy is going, but I can't help but wonder... how long can they keep this up?

Telefon Tel Aviv

I don't write about music much.. just because its not my field. I'm no expert and I don't pretend to be, but I do know what's good and what's bad. First off... this isn't a post about me, its a post about one of my favorite bands of all time, Telefon Tel Aviv, and how they can't make music anymore... Telefon Tel Aviv consisted of two main members spouting off hand-tuned electronic/ambient riffs that are just incredible... there's no other way to describe them. Sadly... one member of TTA passed away quite recently, and there's no word on what will happen to the band. Passed away the day after their newest album was released. The man is a badass. Regardless, TTA is fucking awesome and you should give them a listen:
