RSS Event Schedules

Seth Dillingham pointed to an artist I hadn't heard before, Scott Andrew. It turns out he has a blog, which I guess shouldn't surprise me given that he's:

"the author of the XML-RPC JavaScript Message Builder <http://www.scottandrew.com/xml-rpc/>, one of only a few browser-based XML-RPC javascript libraries"

to quote Seth.

Scott points to a nifty idea at http://www.upcoming.org/. My favorite place to hear music here in central PA is the Whitaker Center but, despite multiple e-mail's from me, they don't yet have an rss feed for new shows (or even e-mail announcements, for that matter). Upcoming.org gives me a way to enter upcoming concerts. Very cool use of rss.

Wow. I guess I really like this album.

One of the neat things iTunes does is keep track of is how often you've played a track. Allison Kraus and Union Station released a new album this week titled Lonely Runs Both Ways. I bought it Wednesday via the iTunes Music Store, and I've already listened to it 14 times! Alison, Dan Tyminski, Jerry Douglas, Barry Bales, and Ron Block do themselves proud.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. --Pablo Picasso
