china resources “is a major global player , ” said david zweig , a specialist in chinese natural resource companies at the hong kong university of science and technology . if the claims about the coal mines are proved true , he added , “it would show that these companies can be ripped off or tricked . it doesn’t bode well for the globalization or professionalization of these companies . ”
the economics of the deal have not been helped by a steep decline in coal prices since china resources bought the mines three years ago . the output of strip mines in inner mongolia now exceeds shanxi’s mine , while demand has grown more slowly than expected . as a result , coal prices have tumbled to 400 renminbi a ton ( about $ 68 ) from 750 renminbi in 2010 .

leaked documents about the deal , and a court case in hong kong , have shed an unusually harsh light on the usually secretive workings of a major state - owned company . the disputed deal raises a stark question : are china’s economy and resources held hostage by privileged state corporations and their executives , who can use influence and gain access to easy credit in ways that undermine long - term growth ?
the dispute has become a chief exhibit in a debate in china about the wisdom of investing so much of the nation’s money in state - owned companies , especially when china’s economy has slowed . for the communist party leadership , the case distills concerns about the grip that state - owned conglomerates exert .

when many historians of medicine think of china , the first thing that comes to mind is traditional chinese medicine ( tcm ) . yet the dominant form of medicine in china today is western medicine ( xiyi ) , and tcm as practiced in china has adopted many concepts and therapies from biomedicine . in other words , biomedicine is by far the most important form of medicine in china , as can be seen in the decline of interest in tcm medical schools , or in the biomedical analysis of an ancient chinese drug that resulted recently in a nobel prize for tu youyou . yet although digital sources for scholars and students of the history of medicine in the us and western europe are widely available in most research libraries , sources for the history of medicine in china have lagged behind .

full access to the national medical journal ( and many other chinese language medical journals ) is available through the digital database 大成老旧刊全文数据库 at major research institutions in the u . s . and china ( one month trial access may be available through your library ) . that database is missing the volumes scanned and available below for the years 1919 to 1923 . see oclc worldcat for paper holdings .
the previously unreported episode shows how successful the chinese were in disrupting american spying efforts and stealing secrets years before a well - publicized breach in 2015 gave beijing access to thousands of government personnel records , including intelligence contractors . the c . i . a . considers spying in china one of its top priorities , but the country’s extensive security apparatus makes it exceptionally hard for western spy services to develop sources there .
there was good reason to suspect an insider , some former officials say . around that time , chinese spies compromised national security agency surveillance in taiwan — an island beijing claims is part of china — by infiltrating taiwanese intelligence , an american partner , according to two former officials . and the c . i . a . had discovered chinese operatives in the agency’s hiring pipeline , according to officials and court documents .
those who rejected the mole theory attributed the losses to sloppy american tradecraft at a time when the chinese were becoming better at monitoring american espionage activities in the country . some f . b . i . agents became convinced that c . i . a . handlers in beijing too often traveled the same routes to the same meeting points , which would have helped china’s vast surveillance network identify the spies in its midst .
in the meantime , the resource portal has seen significant use since its launch in 2013 , with an average of over seven hundred page views per month in 2014 and 2015 – about half from the us and one - third from china and hong kong . as a general rule , most digitised sources available here are in english , as are physical sources described in north american and british archives , while those in china are in chinese . the website layout was designed for simplicity of appearance and use on computers , tablets or mobile phones , by aaron ganci of the herron school of art and design at iupui . given the predominance of english language sources , it will be also be a useful tool for historians of medicine in other parts of the world seeking to write more balanced accounts of the history of disease and human responses to it .
on the other hand , any indication that china will be idling steel capacity should be a welcome sign of the us steel sector . publicly traded us steel companies notched a $ 1 . 4 billion loss during the fourth quarter of 2015 , according to the us department of commerce . and outside the us , the world’s largest steel company , arcelormittal , also blamed cheap chinese steel exports for its fourth - quarter loss .
assessing the fallout from an exposed spy operation can be difficult , but the episode was considered particularly damaging . the number of american assets lost in china , officials said , rivaled those lost in the soviet union and russia during the betrayals of both aldrich ames and robert hanssen , formerly of the c . i . a . and the f . b . i . , who divulged intelligence operations to moscow for years .
the beer segment sells beer under the snow brand . the food segment operated via its arm , cr ng fung , which is a food conglomerate engaging in food research and development , production , processing , wholesaling , retailing , logistics and international trading . the beverage segment operates beverage plants in china . it markets purified water under the c ' estbon brand . the company also invests in properties . the company was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in hong kong .
officials said the f . b . i . and the c . i . a . lured the man back to the united states around 2012 with a ruse about a possible contract with the agency , an arrangement common among former officers . agents questioned the man , asking why he had decided to stay in asia , concerned that he possessed a number of secrets that would be valuable to the chinese . it’s not clear whether agents confronted the man about whether he had spied for china .
still , the chinese picked off more and more of the agency’s spies , continuing through 2011 and into 2012 . as investigators narrowed the list of suspects with access to the information , they started focusing on a chinese - american who had left the c . i . a . shortly before the intelligence losses began . some investigators believed he had become disgruntled and had begun spying for china . one official said the man had access to the identities of c . i . a . informants and fit all the indicators on a matrix used to identify espionage threats .
the graph above shows emissions intensity for the top 10 emitters’ whole economies and energy sectors . for the energy sector , the world average is 372 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions ( co2e ) per million $ gdp , but intensities vary across countries . seven of the top 10 emitters actually have a below average emissions intensity ; russia , china and canada are above the world average . these differences result from varying emissions levels and size of economy , but are also dependent on factors such as a country’s energy mix the carbon intensity of sectors like electricity and heat generation , manufacturing , and transportation .
for example , scholars interested in the history of cholera in chinese ports would do well to begin by clicking on the general reports and guides section and scrolling down to the medical reports of the imperial maritimes customs . many of these reports were written by medical missionaries , and a second step for a researcher might be to determine which physicians wrote about outbreaks of cholera in china , then to follow the mission agency and look for digitised books by that missionary available through the selected electronic texts section , photographs and archive guides to enable onsite or ( in the case of generous archivists ) remote research .
but the c . i . a . ’s top spy hunter , mark kelton , resisted the mole theory , at least initially , former officials say . mr . kelton had been close friends with brian j . kelley , a c . i . a . officer who in the 1990s was wrongly suspected by the f . b . i . of being a russian spy . the real traitor , it turned out , was mr . hanssen . mr . kelton often mentioned mr . kelley’s mistreatment in meetings during the china episode , former colleagues say , and said he would not accuse someone without ironclad evidence .
the ministry of lands and natural resources has temporarily suspended the operations of shaanxi mining ghana limited at gbane in the talensi district in the upper east region . this followed reports received by the ministry to the effect that the operations of the company had allegedly caused the death of some residents in the area . consequently , the company has asked its 500 workers to go home . . . meanwhile , workers of the company are not happy with the ministry’s decision , describing it as
unfair and giving undue advantage to illegal miners to continue their illegal mining activities .
… the aggrieved workers alleged that it was rather those engaged in galamsey who had been straying onto the concessions of shaanxi and had been blasting unprofessionally , thereby causing their own deaths…the underground mine manager , mr thomas yenzanya , said the company had successfully carried out its blasting without any problems only to learn that seven people had died elsewhere .
we have 18 professional and experienced blastmen who know the blasting procedures . these blastmen had worked in places like anglogold ghana before they joined the shaanxi mining company ,
he said .
in 2009 , daqing zhang of peking university and william h . schneider of indiana university–purdue university , indianapolis ( iupui ) conceived a plan to help make the plentiful sources in the us and europe more available to scholars of modest means in china and to make digital sources available to students and scholars around the world . this resulted in a major grant from the luce foundation ( 2011–14 ) , which , in addition to two international conferences plus one volume of selected papers in english and one in chinese , produced a research portal that combines library and archive guides with a wide array of digital sources that were digitised by the project or were already available ( urltoken ) .

“marx forgot the problem that whoever manages a company tries to become its owner , ” he added .
“state - owned enterprises try to spend as much as they can , so they have an excuse to demand more support and take more kickbacks . ”
in the late 1990s , zhu rongji , then the prime minister , pushed hundreds of thousands of state - owned enterprises into the private sector , but the 120 or so largest of these businesses had the political muscle to resist privatization .
instead they won official backing as pillars supporting the state’s role in the economy . they gained wealth and influence over the last decade , partly from their almost unlimited access to low - interest loans from state - owned banks .
but since taking office in march , prime minister li keqiang has dropped hints that he wants to rein in the privileges of state - owned enterprises , so that private companies win a bigger share of bank loans , investment projects and market opportunities .

“state - owned enterprises and private business should be regarded equally , ” mr . li said at a meeting with economists and executives in april .
party insiders and economists have said , however , that the issue of state - owned enterprises is so contentious that a party leadership meeting in the fall is likely to put off any big decisions .
locals like mr . kang are frustrated by the mine ' s continued closure .
mr . wang had few specifics regarding mr . song , but the chinese media and internet discussion groups have been full of speculation over where the sums paid for the mines ended up .


muxtape was a website that allowed bands to promote their music and users to discover artists .

muxtape allowed bands to upload music they own for free streaming to fans , on the bands profile and as an embeddable player , as well as configure profiles with images , videos , and a show calendar .

muxtape

muxtape speaks : justin ouellette on the bpp : the bryant park project video : the founder of muxtape talks to the bpp .
muxtape creator justin ouellette has a new version of muxtape . the a modern promise website he talks about in the video includes an example of the first post - riaa version of muxtape , as ouellette confirmed .
as of yesterday , though , muxtape has returned , sort of . the muxtape founder justin ouellette and i conducted the following exchange over e - mail .
muxtape # 5 : just like you said , everything is happ . . .
the big appeal of muxtape 1 . 0 was the playlist—the muxtape itself . other platforms offer the ability to make playlists but they are often bulky and hard to manage . with muxtape 2 . 0 , will people be able to make playlists from your catalogue of approved bands ?
webapp muxtape lets you upload mp3 ' s into a streaming playlist for anyone on the internet to hear . register for a free muxtape account , and start uploading mp3 ' s ( which you have permission to share ) , and send your muxtape url ( youraccount . muxtape . com ) to others , who can play your tunes directly from the page . muxtape ' s interface is bare - bones—no album art and sparse song metadata—and there ' s no obvious way for listeners to download the tunes you uploaded . check out wired ' s field guide to existing muxtape playlists for finding good listening there .
muxtape is a music service that lets its users create and share their online mixtape like mp3 playlists .
my favorite development on the web in 2008 was muxtape . the idea was useful and its execution was satisfyingly simple . users could upload mp3s to the muxtape server and make mixtapes of up to twelve songs each . muxtape then rendered the mixtape visually as a vertical list in 36 - point helvetica on a single web page . click on a title , and the sequence would play in order . editing and managing tapes was easy and all you needed to create a mix was an e - mail address . each muxtape had its own url , like sfj . muxtape . com .
muxtape is a music service that lets its users create and share their online mixtape like mp3 playlists . muxtape provides a very simple interface and a unique url to share playlists . users can upload up to twelve songs to their playlists .
this service offers free , open - source code that anyone can upload totheir website in order to create a muxtape - style mix of mp3s . the riaa had a fairly easy time taking all of thost muxtape mixes offline , because they were all on muxtape ' s servers . opentape circumvents thatdefense , but the tradeoff is that individual users themselves becomeliable to accusations of copyright infringement .
while favtape once started out as a simple muxtape clone , this new release goes far beyond muxtape’s feature set . one of the most important differences with muxtape is that you do not have to upload any songs to create a mixtape . instead , favtape lets you search for your music and add it to your playlists . to do this , favtape makes use of seeqpod’s apis .
but , you hope for the best and plan for the worst . i suspect muxtape will reemerge in somewhat altered form at some point . in the meantime , here arefive alternative services to help fill the gaping void in your soulwhere muxtape used to be :
update : eff senior staff attorney fred von lohmann says muxtape enjoys a certain degree of legal protection and asked why we didn ' t include imeem on this list . we ' ve added imeem ; here ' s what he says is wrong with porter ' s above assertion about muxtape :
week since we asked for an interview with muxtape founder justin oullette to find out about the site ' s still - cryptic riaa - induced blackout .
[ quote = hexeh ; 16252717 ] yes . : p [ / quote ] well good luck and hopefully they won ' t , i loved muxtape
while we are sad to see the muxtape we once loved disappear , it is great to see other services jumping into the breach and building upon muxtape’s foundation . it’s probably not the perfect streaming music service , but it comes pretty close . now we just have to hope that it will not be shut down too soon .
other streaming platforms have also faced challenges around uploading . urltoken allowed users to upload their own mp3s until a month or so ago . what is muxtape’s line on copyright content ? even though the content on streaming sites like muxtape and urltoken isn’t downloadable , and seems to this civilian like excellent free promotion , record companies don’t seem to feel the same way . especially because recordings might not be commodities for very much longer , why would labels and the riaa want to shut down sites like muxtape ?
while muxtape’s justin ouellette just posted a dire story about the shutdown of the popular mixtape service and his dealings with the music industry , favtape has updated its service dramatically .
muxtape will effectively remain closed for the general public and will only return as a music hosting service for bands . favtape , on the other hand , now looks like muxtape on steroids , with embeddable playlists , album art , integrated youtube search , a shuffle mode , and the ability to create tapes based on your urltoken and pandora bookmarks .
we’re meeting up in 4 hours . i can’t wait . i love delicious beverages and good music . ( and for those of you who haven’t discovered muxtape : urltoken )
opentape ' s creation and design are inspired by muxtape ' s success and sleek interface . we were disappointed with its untimely shutdown and wanted the web mixtape movement to continue .
visually and functionally , muxtape is great . the interface loads quickly , makes immediate sense , and doesn’t come burdened with the flash animation and banners that ruin so many myspace pages . but the beauty of myspace is that anyone can start a page and put music up quickly . i can’t think of a musical act that isn’t on myspace . will acts be able to make muxtape pages easily , or will they have to go through a submission process ? i can imagine muxtape taking the lead in music the way facebook took the lead in social networking .
i made three or four tapes and enjoyed tweaking them far too much . then , one day last august , the internet changed . all muxtape addresses suddenly led to a small image of a cassette tape and a brief note about “a problem with the riaa . ” it was the web equivalent of a “be right back” sign in a shop window . but muxtape never came back .
one month after the riaa shuttered mixtape - generator website muxtape , its founder , justin ouellette , has come forward — announcing the site will turn into “a service exclusively for bands” on urltoken .
despite servers crashing when the site first launched and asubsequent loss of a small percentage of newly created mixes , the siteis back on track and has plenty of room for expansion . muxtape ' screator told us that while he won ' t rule out advertising completely , heplans to keep muxtape super simple in subsequent releases , which isgood news for anyone who likes to share music without jumping throughhoops .
porter is wrong about the legality of muxtape . as i understand it , allthe content on muxtape is uploaded by users , which means it qualifiesfor the same protections that youtube and every other ugc site enjoysunder the dmca safe harbors ( but they have to have
notice andtakedown
and a policy for terminating users who repeatedly infringe – i have no idea whether muxtape followed these requirements ) . this issuewould have been the key question in the warner v imeem lawsuit , butthat one settled before we got any answers . it ' s also the centerpieceof the viacom v youtube case .
some might look at muxtape and wonder why its features are so limited . why can ' t i search ? why can ' t i customize the look of the player ? andwhy are the fonts so big ?
this was the shit when it came out . i wish i had taken screenshots - really admired muxtape ( and a similar website . . i think it was called favstar ? ) for the incredibly clean ui and ux
this one ' s closest to what muxtape could look like after the riaa is through with it . 8tracks allows users to upload eight tracks , with no more than two by the sameartist , and then follows the internet radio model of playing the songsin order ( as opposed to on an on - demand basis ) in order to qualify forsoundexchange ' s royalty rates for small webcasters . and unlike muxtape , it lets you embed mixes online .
i don’t know what muxtape is - - i’m far too old and lazy to look into it - - but i’m sure it was great . yet some bunch of dickheads went and closed his server down . what has gotten into them ? how does that advance their business ?
the thing is , there are hordes of sites out there that offer morefunctions than most people will ever use . muxtape doesone thing , and it does it very , very well : it allows people to createonline mp3 mix tapes in a matter of minutes , no expertise or hassletolerance required .
it ' s still possible that at any given moment the note that has been on the sight since last week –
muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the riaa
– will be replaced by the mix sharing gloriousness we knew and loved .
( many of the songs on this muxtape were selected in response to having watched the popular film
there will be blood
friday night . the line
i have your blood inside my heart
in this track has particular relevance . we just received our copy of the vinyl reissue of
the above / right screenshot represents the actual size of the muxtape widget . it’s essentially a scaled down version of the old interface , suitable for embedding on the websites of bands who don’t want to post their music next to ads ( or if they do , they want those ads to be their ads ) .
, with the same sort of primordial , the - gods - are - against - me pathos . the title to this muxtape comes from the terribly affecting lyric in this number . this song is a four - minute rain of sledgehammers with the word
bummer
embossed on one of the long dimensions . )
rather than allowing anyone to create and share online mixes from the mp3s on their computer , the new iteration provides bands with an ad - free way to promote their own music through a version of muxtape’s clean , simple interface , which stands in stark contrast to the more cluttered interface found on ad - supported social networks .
muxtape is one of the web ' s cooler corners . the simple site , born last month , lets users post a single mixtape of 12 songs . your tape - - ever evolving , if you wish - - exists as a simple link that you can send around . for an example , see founder justin oullette ' s .
if you already have a pandora or urltoken profile ( and really , anyonewho knows what muxtape almost certainly has one ) , all you need to do isenter your account information into favtape in order to create a mix ofsome of your favorite music that can be shared with friends . however , it offers the least control over the playlist of the options listedhere .
a new online mixtape service called muxtape made the rounds this month ( i dutifully threw one together myself . ) despite its numerous restrictions , i like it quite a bit more than the other social music services i’ve tried . i discovered norwegian indie rock band ida maria while listening to matthew ingram’s mix . they’re catchy and intense , i suspect they’ll go far .
ouellette came on our show last week to talk about his creation . muxtape is growing fast enough that he ' s having to build server capacity sooner than he expected . it ' s also drawing attention from copyright lawyers , some of whom say what he ' s doing could pass muster and some of whom say he ' s heading for a napster - style shutdown .
muxtape is going to be an invite - only system to start with . as a band , you’ll need to be invited by another band in order to create a profile . it won’t be this way forever , but we want to make sure we can effectively combat abuse and provide the best experience for everyone before we open the floodgates . even facebook didn’t let everyone sign up right away .
bands from the late 80’s and early 90’s i’d like to see again : fetchin’ bones , the reivers , the veldt , 24 - 7 spyz , deee - lite , the housemartins , style council… ross mcelwee needs to be celebrated , honored , deified . â he may have invented reality tv , sure ; but he also changed the way we look at ourselves…bolo ties are making a comeback ? …i miss the first iteration of muxtape , where you could make your own mixtape online . waaah…
major labels know that charging for streaming will be big business as they move forward , especially as traditional sales decline . the promotional value of streaming , however real it may be right now , isn’t big enough to keep labels from charging for it . the problem is that the price they demand is only realistic for an operation the size of myspace . the labels would rather shut a site like muxtape down than make a deal proportional to its size . i agree that it doesn’t make much sense .
i’m done with flash . muxtape rewritten in html5 is about a quarter of its previous length ( and complexity ) and uses no plugins . other than firefox requiring ogg versions of the audio all the assets are the same ; it detects iphone - like devices and turns on the requisite extra features . add it to your home screen and relaunch it , when it runs full screen and responds to rotation ( especially on the ipad ) i bet you can’t distinguish it from a native app . it even eats up that youtube embed .
as for that other site that launched this week , myspace music , ouellette thinks it will fail . “it will crumble because they aren’t offering anything new , ” says ouellette . “it’s not well organized , it’s outdated and irrelevant . myspace has a scummy feel . bands tend to do it because other bands do it . ” in the meantime , muxtape - like sites including mixtube . org , favtape , and delatube , have picked up some traffic . “the industry will catch up some day , ” ouellette says . “it pretty much has to . ”
i ( too ) love the user experience of muxtape ,
said david porter , founder of 8tracks ( full interview ) .
however , there really was no ' gray area ' regarding the legality of theservice . it ' s an on - demandoffering , and that requires direct licenses .
( the eff ' s fred von lehman disagrees – see below . ) those licenses , he says , cost
around $ . 01 / stream and require fairly substantial upfronts .
by
upfronts ,
porter is referring to the common record label practice ofdemanding a large chunk of royalties before a company can startstreaming .
or an iphone , or ipod touch , or safari , or firefox , or chrome , or opera .
running in mobile safari has other advantages , too . since it’s privileged by apple to run in the background , you can listen to music and use pretty much any other app simultaneously . for now this is only possible with html5 .
enjoy the album , it’s really great . francis plays at bowery ballroom tonight .

two other services ( seeqpod and skeemr ) provide the music catalog from which mixwit users can create embeddable mixes without having to upload anything . the service appears to be legal , because mixwit pledges to take down copyrighted materials if the copyright holder asks them to do so . mixes created using the site look a lot like old school cassette tapes , and their designs can be customized .
it ' s easy to create and share a playlist with seeqpod , but the songs come from various blogs and music directories from aroundthe net , so you may not be able to include the exact songs that youwant .
we neglected to include this site at first , but imeem , which we use to embed songs on listening post quite frequently , also includes the ability to create playlists that can be shared using a simple url ( thanks , fred ) .

favtape does not host any of the songs itself , but solely relies on seeqpod’s index for its music . seeqpod indexes mp3s anywhere on the internet , which surely leaves some doors open for copyright infringement claims by the riaa . as ars technica reports , seeqpod has already been sued by the riaa for exactly this business model of providing a ‘playable search engine . ’ if seeqpod shuts down , favtape will be left without any music to play .
from a user’s perspective , however , favtape is everything one could wish for in a mixtape service , including a list of the top songs on itunes and last . fm , as well as iphone support and the ability to share your tapes by email or as a twitter message . favtape also includes numerous social features and lets you vote for tapes you like .

i have been out in different neighbourhoods to see if i could find some inherent opportunities to design local services for . what initially struck me was that there may be a need for a local information infrastructure of some sort . a layer of make - shift , temporary , local information is present in the public space . a closer look at the information given showed that the communicator often had commercial or practical agendas . is it possible to think of an information infrastructure that is more engaging , one that encourage social interaction ? presentations are on friday .
ah , this is something i have been fascinated with . have a look at this : urltoken from 2004 .
i am a master student at the oslo school of architecture & design in norway . my studies are in industrial design , focused on interaction design and tangible interactions . this blog follows a studio course called
touch - new local interfaces
that researches tangible interaction and networked objects specially through rfid technology . my projects investigates interactions in the public domain , and is working against services around bike - sharing systems . feel free to comment ! gunnar bothner - by

you ' re keeping some dark secrets , but you talk in your sleep .

( in an era of good feel - bad songs , this one might take the cake . perhaps the closest
show at philadelphia ' s silk city lounge . they may or may not have opened for
, those dudes with all the custom four - string guitars . we requested this song . and then they played it . and for a moment we had the world by the tail . this whole song is a best part , but perhaps the best part of the best part is the screamed backing vocal in one of the final verses . exhilarating . we used to scream along in our silver volvo sedan after charging 12 packs of beer to the family gas card when we were sequestered in virginia . a memory that makes us wonder where our copy of
( title track from important record from erstwhile boston act . not as catchy as
winona
and not as epic as
kick the tragedy ,
but even so this song provides the blueprints to the exceptional first iteration of this band . with
( we loved the k logo this band used . the act featured future members of every philly band except the ones you were in . we recall there was a pro - teen single these guys did that had a blue sleeve , and if you really want to be our friend you ' ll email us mp3s of that . there also may have been a 10 - inch , although we may be confusing
on that one . anyway , this song requires playback at heroic volumes so the churning muck of the guitars rises to waist - level . an argument could be made that this is the best track on the
/ sweeney never quite got a version of
tiny ships
recorded that matched the live versions we witnessed . )
( mrs . clicky clicky says this song sounds like it should have been on
the muppet movie
soundtrack . and of course she ' s right . incidentally , word is our boss ' cousin , who you know from popular movies and television programs , has inked an agreement to write a new script for the muppets film franchise . anyway , back to
. this track graced an early jagjaguwar release . when we lived in virginia the dude who ran jagjaguwar was the graphic designer at the arts weekly where we sold classified ads . we can ' t remember any of the other tracks on the record , as this song eclipses them all . )
( this german act ' s record seems largely overlooked , which is too bad . it was released around 1995 and is on par with the 18th dyes and occasionally even the pavements of the era . we select this one because it is good , and also because it is interesting to hear two songs named
gizmo
in a row . every band should have a song named
gizmo .
)
, to thrilling effect , if your idea of a thrill is hearing songs that are sad delivered by a guy who does deadpan better than most , probably without trying . )
( a curveball track from a record filled with curveballs . we ' ve searched the internetz now and again to see if ms . minsky ever released another record besides this one on the austrian angelika kohlermann label , but we never find anything . which is too bad . this record is special . )
is fairly remarkable if one stops to think about it . nothing they ' ve done this decade has really resonated with us , but there was a time in the mid - ' 90s when the band was dark , dangerous and boundlessly sexxy with two x ' s . that time was probably after this song was recorded , as we pinpoint it to the material released on the peerless
' s classic is revelatory . great backing vocal in here . if anything , bachmann ' s sorrowful take seems more appropriate to prince ' s tale of the lover that would not be controlled , and the lovee too weak - willed to do anything about it . )
( this is one of the songs that plays in the movie adaptation of the sequel to your life . incidentally , you ' ve been chosen as an extra . you have just been told off in the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the over - friendly concierge . she walks out . this is the saddest song ever recorded , and something about the weird mix of oldham ' s voice , the creaky first - wave drum machine , guitar , piano and albini ' s spare production gives this the song the impact of an entire shelf of books collapsing on your heart . )

this is probably the first parse javascript app in the wild ! cool stuff guys .
it’s pretty buggy on firefox . when i first loaded the site , it kept trying to search for something even though the search box was empty . then i reloaded the page and compiled and saved a mix tape (
) . but i couldn’t play any of the tracks with the player – no sound came out when playing , and clicking next did nothing . also , the pause button that is the alternate of the play button had its round button borders smaller than the pause symbol .
taking a look at it . i guess we didn ' t really test it in firefox
same as roryokane , couldn ' t play the tracks . clicking next goes to the next song , but no sound .
i made a tape and sent it to my wife right away , with a bunch of music that means a lot to us . it was a fantastic way to relive a lot of memories in a few minutes .
did the same thing for my wife . . . i await her response . ; )
a ) provide a disclaimer .
hey , this isn ' t really a flirt tape , i just thought you would like these .
that ' s kind of rude , and very sexist . please be polite , and maybe re - read this :
oi , not this again . let not a single comment be directed at a specific gender , ever .
well , you shouldn ' t . so it ' s a good name !
even if you shouldn ' t ( and i ' m not convinced that ' s necessarily true ) , that does not therefore mean it ' s a good name .
not sure where else to report issues . i was able to search for songs , add them to a mixtape and share it via email . i wasn ' t able to play any songs though . after pressing play , it would send a request to the youtube api and receive a successful response ( 200 ok ) , but just sit there and not play anything . each time i press next , the same thing would happen - a successful request then nothing .
this is fantastic . mixtapes use to be such a great form of self - expression . thanks for making a tool to bring them back !
pretty cool . i made something similar ( a site that played any song via youtube ) last year at a hackathon but i failed to think of such a creative idea , props .
ahh , i see now . we ' ve been working on a way to do the same without flash - have you had any success with that ?
p . s . when viewing source ( on chrome , os x ) it shows the . search and . mixtape divs as blank ! is there a reason for this ?
thank you for bringing this to my attention - i will make good use of the network tab going forward : ) i had only ever really used console and elements in the past .
this seems pretty cool but i think you might have been banned . . . the player won ' t play . which basically inevitably happens to every app i ' ve seen that grabs songs off youtube and repurposes it . the one that most sticks out to me is the old songza .
when i loaded the page it was mostly blank . as soon as i zoomed out the browser , the page loaded properly .
might have been a browser issue . chrome 19 . 0 . 1084 . 54 on lion .
this site is pretty much broken on mobile safari . the top banner in purple is cut off on the right and i have no way of scrolling over . : (
am i the only one for whom this never worked ? it didn ' t work 6 hours ago and it ' s not working now . still hacker news ' d or just me ?
but be prepared for lawyers . . . these guys send ugly letters with long numbers : /
yes , he needs to add
no copyright intended
to protect himself .
lest anyone misunderstand , shasta is referring to the practice of misinformed youtube users adding that phrase to their videos as part of a cargo - cult - esque attempt to avoid drawing the attention of the ringwraiths of sauron , er , lawyers of mpaa / riaa .
i wish it weren ' t called flirttape so i could send it to friends ! also , i ' m using ie ( at work . . ) and it keeps throwing me errors
you guys may have been banned . . . looks like youtube doesn ' t like to have its player hidden .
why wouldn ' t you read the api terms and comply with them before wasting all the development effort on something that will only get shut down ? my advice is switch to the soundcloud api .
( is there anything more satisfying than an open e major chord that just hangs there and sustains ? well , yeah , there ' s the rest of this song , the first verse of which describes salvaging major appliances from the trash . we can say from firsthand experience that the vocals were tracked on a very hot day around an open mic in a small stuffy living room while pulling off a milk jug of moonshine ; hence the last verse . we ' re always happy to have an excuse to proselytize the fong , so here ' s a download of the track above | | kam fong - -
( opening track from a cassette release from the first iteration of this band . this tape and
' s first 7
affected us a great deal , not only because each is great , but because prior to their release it didn ' t seem within the realm of possibility that people like us could write their own material and release it . we recall being shocked to see the cassette on the shelf with the rest of the merchandise at our beloved and much - missed first location of repo records in north wayne , and we purchased it immediately ( much to the amusement of the guys , some of whom we later befriended ) . we love the lo - fi production on the
cassette , because it packs each track with the sense that they are under some volatile pressure and could burst at any second . )
( another heart - felt tip of the hat to the late geoff doring . we thought this song stuck out a little bit from the rest of the tracks on this set because of the acoustic guitars . and we swear there ' s whistling in there around the three - minute mark . so it took us a long time to come to terms with
start with me .
but it is easily among the best tracks on this ridiculously under - rated record , released on dave allen ' s world domination label in 1997 or so . it ' s near impossible to follow what doring is singing , but the song is an incredibly affecting strand of hooks . what the hell , how about an mp3 ? | | latimer - -
( had the pleasure of seeing these guys live , and they were really impressive .
graph
has a little bit of everything and channels
in a very effective manner . we love the little hi - hat fill in the first section . but the most gripping thing is the coda , where the singer repeats
summers brown , winters green
like a protective spell . )
( so another track like the lost cut above that made an impression on us because it was another local - - that is , suburban philadelphia - - band writing and recording their own material during a time when we equated the ability to write music with the ability to saw women in half and pull rabbits from hats . this is not the band ' s best cut , but it is the only one that remains in our cassette collection . our memories are almost always of questionable veracity at this point , but compared to the other
tracks we recall (
11th grade english ,
stay
) this track is particularly dark . we seem to recall it came from a later set of recordings that would seem to indicate the band had dug back into
( a nice mid - tempo track from a pretty overblown record released on spin - art . superfluous hockey rink organ . certainly not the first track we think of when we consider the band , but for some reason the opening line was in our head this morning as we ground coffee beans . )
( we like this band so much it is embarrassing . we even told them as much when we met them in new york last fall . right now they are flying to japan for a string of dates . when we were scouring ebay recently we found that some of the band ' s singles had been issued to radio as cds , so of course we had to have those . the result of which is we can offer you this b - side . we ' re very hopeful that the physical release of the band ' s debut
, which will occur on an unspecified tuesday in october , will contain all the various b - sides and maybe even some radio sessions as bonus tracks . but since we can ' t bank on that , we continue to fuel the british economy by buying all the imports we can get our hands on . )
( wonderful album opener from defunct band ' s second cd . would have made much more sense to post a
track , as that is this band ' s precursor and it fits better within the theme of the mix . but we love this one , and it ' s the one we ' re feeling this morning . we think this would make an awesome cover for
has more than its share of amazing lines , but one of the best may be when mr . pauly here confides
so sure that we lost it , while i ' ve got my hands in your pockets .
)
( as an adult we ' re conflicted now about songs that deal with drug abuse and addiction with any sort of favorable stance . sorry ( at least we didn ' t complain that music is too loud , right ? ) . but even so this track is a beautiful tangle of bass and guitar melodies . and we ' re very fond of its linear composition , which we blatantly stole for a song many , many years ago . the final seconds where the mix goes kaleidoscopic is so awesome . )
. there ' s some magical alchemy that occurs when the atmospheric production of the music is paired with singer adam granduciel ' s mix - slicing petty - doing - dylan vocals . this track is particularly dense and droning . if we knew more about music theory we might be able to make some assertion about how drone in particular keys works for us . layered guitar leads create most of the action here , and the overall effect is dreamy . mr . granduciel was recently featured in stereogum ' s quit your day job
, but during the last few years he has found time to lay down some tracks , and we are constantly surprised when this comes up in the shuffle to see that the song that just made us think
damn !
is by our pal . we particularly like the cello at the end , it ' s very george martin - ish . this fits very nicely alongside the track above , no ? )
( this song is so sad we often can ' t bear to listen to it , and o ' riley ' s version is somehow even sadder . )
