Whoohoo! There is a release date for Vienna’s new album. I’ve already pre-ordered mine through Amazon. She’ll be performing here in Denver on August 2nd, I’ll be there.

I bought Jayron Weaver’s CD a few weeks ago (as I previously planned) – I think it’s pretty good. If you liked him on Nashville Star, it’s definitely worth getting. Besides, it’s always good to support someone just starting out. I think he’ll have more success sticking with the ballads that really showcase his voice…

I’d love to be able to subscribe to RSS or iCalendars for concerts in my area by artists I like… someone has got to be offering this, right?

For the last three weeks1, I’ve been working out 4 days a week2 (brief pause while I give myself a self-congratulatory pat on the back). I’m back to playing volleyball three times a week and my shoulder was starting to get sore from the combination of too much activity and me getting soft. 🙂 The…

It occurred to me that if I really wanted people to contribute reports for iTunes Stats, I should make it a little easier to build the reports separately. I’ve posted a new version that takes a step in that direction, and includes 4 sample reports. Download version 0.2 beta. Reports are now individual files in…

Well, I got curious so I went ahead and wrote up a little script to grab some basic stats from my iTunes data. I figured others might be interested in this as well, so I’ve packaged it up as a download. Download What it does right now: Imports a Library.xml export from iTunes into a…

I’ve been rating songs using an “unrated” smart playlist on my iPod since I got it. So far, I’ve gotten through a little over 2000 songs and have ~800 to go. Now that I have all this data, I want to see some stats on it. I’d installed an old version of Goombah at one…

I’ve looked at settings, searched the web, tried setting the sort order in iTunes… does anyone know how to alpha sort songs on the iPod? In particular, I’d like songs to be in alpha order when I go to Artists – [Artist Name] – All Songs, but also within an individual album.

Whew! I’m back from my week-long vacation to Nova Scotia: some hiking, a little golf, got rained on, went whale watching, ate some lobster, listened to some great music, found occasional internet access, got (just a little) sunburned, spent way too long on an airplane getting to and from and had my first experience going…

I’ve been watching Nashville Star again1 this season. Unfortunately, Jayron Weaver – my favorite to win it all, got the boot tonight. A real traveshamockery if there ever was one. This kid has an unbelievable voice, I’m sure he’ll get a record deal out of this one way or another if he wants one. I…

I’ve been working on rating all my digital music recently (still a long way to go). Pretty easy in iTunes: Create a live updating smart playlist that contains all your unrated songs. Rate them as you listen (even easier with global keyboard shortcuts from Synergy). Only one problem, when you rate a song it is…

I’ve started playing a little bit with AudioScrobbler and Goombah. I think the idea of gathering (and predicting/guessing at) useful bits of information from large amounts of data is pretty cool. I like Goombah because it will mine existing data rather than just harvest it in real time. Also, AudioScrobbler still hasn’t shown me any…

I’m sure most of you already know about this site, but thanks to Bill I wasted a good half hour there this morning. 🙂 There is a nice selection of Vienna Teng’s music there too.

I still have a mix tape1 a friend made for me back in college. The last song on Side A is Round Here by Counting Crows, but as the song ends it fades into an instrumental tune that I don’t know. My guess is that there was something else originally on the tape before the…

This comment: I like the previous CD better than the new one simply because some of the new songs sound too country for me. on my Norah Jones on Austin City Limits post was ‘endorsement’ enough for me to buy the album from the Apple Music Store this week. I probably wouldn’t have gotten it…
