Edward Rothstein on cam-phones in museums: "looking–for which museums were created–becomes a memory before it has even begun" via @nytimes #
Man, Fringe's aural fixation made itself heard in last night's episode, "The Box": Peter going deaf in order to defuse a hypersonic bomb? #
35,474: number of plays of Brian Eno's "2 Forms of Anger" on @soundcloud in past 48 hours. http://is.gd/fCvoO And still no samizdat remixes? #
I'm sure my four-week-old child's fingernails make a sound when I trim them with a scissor, but my utter fear deafens me to it. #
You know if you'd told me in my Asimov-drunk teens that some day I'd think negatively about the term "robocall" I wouldn't have believed you #
Baby's first vinyl: The Pharcyde's Labcabincalifornia (Instrumentals). #
Looking forward to the Music App Summit next Tuesday in San Francisco. Will be there all afternoon. #

Couldn't make it out of town to #planningness in Denver. Hope everyone had an informative and great time. #
My review of the recent Underworld album, Barking: http://is.gd/fEQzt "third-party producers lend…a welcome mix-tape vibrancy." #
Leonardo Rosado (aka @sbtrmnl) asks listeners to rate tracks he's recording to cull best work for next CD: http://opaqueglitter.tumblr.com/ #

Lessig re: #fb film: "Imagine a jester from King George III’s court, charged in 1790 with writing a comedy about the new American Republic." #
Morning sounds: breathing of two sleepers (wife, child); occasional bus and car; no birds, planes, or (first time in a while) foghorns. #
Some friends are doing an amazing urban art project in/about New Orleans, where I lived from 1999-2003. Please support: http://kck.st/dqyDpC #

OK, Brian Eno's quasi-post-punk song "2 Forms of Anger" off forthcoming album has been out for 24 hours. Where are the communal remixes? #
Detailed post-mortem on making of game Canabalt by @adamatomic. Just wish there'd been some mention of music/sound role. http://is.gd/fCKtP #
Best way to grok Daniel Lanois' impact on Neil Young's Le Noise is to watch Young play (live in studio) & hear recording http://is.gd/fCyoC #

Noticed that I hadn't put ice cubes in my morning iced coffee in a month — reunited now with the crackling and popping. #

Last line of Goodnight Moon: "Goodnight noises everywhere" (File under: The things we remember when we have kids.) #
More detail on @internetarchive removing Anki Toner's silent-groove appropriations http://is.gd/fALnc More on this later (via @mystified131) #

Afternoon counterpoint: electric kid swing versus breast pump. #
In the future, every noun will instigate 15 Twitterbots. (A tweet on Sons of Anarchy sound earned me a motorcycle-bot.) #
"From orbit: Listening to Sting on my ipod watching the world go by ”“ literally" @astro_mike http://is.gd/fADdp via @juliandibbell #space♫ #
Every time a motorcycle passes by, I think TiVo has accidentally replayed Sons of Anarchy. #
Saw scraggly K Records logo in someone's Twitter-follow list; in-brain iPod immediately played half-remembered Dub Narcotic Sound System. #
"Bodhisattva, let me take you by the app": Hong Kong programmer's #android Buddha Machine; elegant interface, four tracks http://is.gd/fAnov #
"Weather conditions, wind direction, everyday sounds around this time must be considered." http://is.gd/fAksm #rippedfromtheheadlines #
"police to investigate and report on distance/direction of a scream of kidnapped boy" http://is.gd/fAksm via @tobiasreber (thanks, man) #

Interesting @kickstarter project I just kicked in on, all about "the sound of art" http://kck.st/92ElnD // Deadline is Oct 7. #
Messing with instrumental hip-hop MP3s in Plogue Bidule, based on use by @cinchel (the software, not the tunes). #
Joseph Horowitz on the #Singularity (made you look) … of George Gerswhin: "keenings that can only be called Slavic." http://is.gd/fylIQ #
Nearby jackhammer, just far enough away to be pleasant. #
Weird that #newtwitter right-hand column truncates top tweet after two lines. (At least in Firefox on Win 7.) #
Beastie Boys nominated for Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame; hope someone they sampled — maybe Zeppelin's Page or Plant — does their introduction. #
Meaning of wolf's howl: "The coyote is saying to everyone, fellow barking dogs or otherwise, 'We are here.'" http://is.gd/fyaIx via @nytimes #
Neil Young's Le Noise is a wool sweater knitted with barbed wire. #
Echo on Daniel Lanois' production of Neil Young's Le Noise sounds like he rented Pauline Oliveros & Stewart Dempster's Deep Listening cave. #
Wonder how hard it'd be for RSS/Atom to allow some sorta background-image code to allow for visual continuity between feed and source-site. #
Old-school music publicity: Tracking lost packages. New-school music publicity: Dealing with broken MP3 archives and stalled downloads. #
[email protected] @mapmap I think there's a subcategory of "music by graphic designers for graphic designers." Maybe there's a photog equivalent. #
Of all the technology in this home, the refrigerator has the most complex and varied sounds. #
Buying records after midnight: the $2.99 deal for the Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross score to The Social Nework. http://amzn.to/TSNalbum #
Hip-hop forensics, sampling genealogy, and how context beats (and, of course, builds on) crowd-sourced data: http://is.gd/fwrzY #
[email protected] RJDJ is the MSG of everyday sonic life. As a phá»Ÿ addict, I mean that as a compliment. #
My Spanish is poor but http://is.gd/fwhst seems to say @internetarchive yanked Anki Toner's album made of silent LP grooves due to Â© concern #
"[M]usic can be remixed. Books aren’t remixed," says @greatdismal (aka William Gibson) http://bit.ly/ah7BVs via @significobs #
Family drama: Life's fancier with a soundtrack playing in background of Skype conversation. Question is: Carl Stalling or Ennio Morricone? #
San Francisco soundscape tour tomorrow at 3pm http://is.gd/fw6yg led by Dennis Paoletti, principal at Shen Milsom Wilke acoustic consultancy #
Lanois "tweaked and toyed with…sounds, processing…signals"; "looped, echoed…multiplied fragments of…performances" http://is.gd/fvRED #

If 5 other San Francisco parents have Fisher-Price Power-Plus Plug-In Swings we could make some excellent "Steve Reich playdate" music. #
Presumably the "10 songs" in this Fisher-Price Power-Plus Plug-In Swing don't count the enchanting metronomic techno of its 6 speed settings #
The new(ish) remixes by Autechre (of the Bug) and Burial (of Commix) have reinvigorated my interest in both. Maybe I prefer them as filters. #
Follow-up advice in that "shark attacks hydrophone" discussion: "Tow in greater speeds," "Hide shiny components," "Carry a rabbit’s foot" #

Sunday-morning shout-out to @luvsound & the musicians involved in this incredible, generous, neonate-friendly compilation http://is.gd/fltDp #

A Prophet is Godfather 2”“good, but why does flick about Arab kid maturing in French prison end w/ Texan singing Americanized song by German? #
DeLillo on interactive fiction's PoV narcissism: "Novels will become user-generated … with [reader] as main character" http://is.gd/ft82Q #
Soundgrid (for iOS) now can import original instrument packages (aka samples) and upload to soundcloud? That's pretty excellent. #
"Quiet alert" = "when a neonate is calm and attentive, with eyes open, ready to become acquainted with an adult person" http://is.gd/fsTBW #
Embrace the cliché: new dad selling old Technics 1200s. #
