Flash Memory Takes on Hard Drives for Music

October 19, 2007

The humble hard drive is the ultimate repository for music in your home, office and car.  But mobile music increasingly sits on flash memory, whether in an iPOD, a more humble MP3 player, or on your cell phone.

Now USB flash drives you can wear on your wrist are bridging the gap between concert and computer, with artists like Matchbox 20, Willie Nelson and even the Bob Marley fan club selling memory sticks packed with music and memories (like photos) of the artists. 

Fans can not only leave a Willie concert stoned and satisfied, but take with them a special keep-sake; a downloaded version of that night’s concert.

Bob Marley’s Ghost: So Sue Me

July 17, 2007

Was the music for Bob Marley’s brilliant Buffalo Soldier plagiarized?  Was it lifted from The Banana Splits?!  yourself and be the judge. 

You can hear more at Soundalikes or read about the late George Harrison lifting “My Sweet Lord” from “He’s So Fine” here.

The hack creators of “The Banana Splits” could try suing Marley’s ghost estate.  But they’d create a public relations disaster–talk about alchemy turning lead into gold.
