  • Phillies in Comcast Center Lobby

    Phillies in Com­cast Cen­ter Lob­by, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by Black­mail Is My Life.

  • WHY MUXTAPE’S PROBABLY GONE FOR GOOD

    Both Val­ley­wag and Sil­i­con Alley Insid­er point out that one of the rea­sons Mux­tape shut down prob­a­bly was­n’t the R.I.A.A., but all the costs asso­ci­at­ed with run­ning a mas­sive stream­ing music data­base.

It reads as fol­lows: “Mux­tape will be unavail­able for a brief peri­od while we sort out a prob­lem with the RIAA.” It was a con­cern I had the moment Mux­tape went viral in late March. Any­one who…
