Make your own ringtone →
This is an awesome, super simple site (with horrible look-and-feel) for making your own ringtones from audio files. Someone posted this on Tumblr recently; sorry for no attribution, but I don’t remember whom.
I just made a few ringtones from Max Richter’s 24 Postcards in Full Colour — a goal of mine long-thwarted by Apple. Richter ringtones are finally mine, bitches!

I have an extra ticket for Grizzly Bear at The Troc in Philadelphia June 2. FREE if you can pick it up from me over the weekend in NYC or in Newtown Square on Monday. Email me or leave a comment if you want it.

WatchI don’t really know what to say about this, except that I hope it made The Dodos some money. Fools is still one of my favorite rock videos in recent memory. Can’t wait to see this band at the Northside Festival.

Pitchfork: Best New Tracks playlist →
I love the Lala playlist on Pitchfork’s Best New Tracks page. It let’s you play all recently reviewed tracks continuously, without clicking on each one.
Enabling users to listen to a stream of new stuff without thinking about it is key to a good discovery engine. Streampad does a great job of this. I’m happy to see more services, including Tumblr, implementing this feature...

Good points. Also, the definition of...
