Far be it from me to suggest that folks stop dropping kick-ass albums, but Christ-on-a-cracker, people, could you at least slow down?! I mean, 2009 has been positively packed with the new hotness! So much so, in fact, that it's been tough to keep up....
Perhaps not surprisingly, I have a fairly expansive music collection, and I often wonder if I view it differently than others might. I mean, I organize it via fairly banal methods – by artist and title and album and genre – but I also keep...
Apologies for the scant number of posts over the past couple of weeks, folks. It's crunch time at the old day job, and that, unfortunately, means cutting back a bit on other activities. Essentially I had to choose between scaling back my writing here...

Hipster please is the best music and geek culture blog that I read. Z, its primary author is both immersed in the subject matter and a fantastic writer, well-practiced from his career in tech journalism. The writing style has a superior ratio of signal to noise while still being an entertaining, enjoyable, and immersive read. I get a fresh and complete look into the worlds of nerdcore hip hop, chiptunes, wizard rock, and all forms of geeky music entertainment all from this blog. Hipster Please provides links to a multitude of relevant sites and producers offering free and new content, aggregating information of interest to me from dozens of sources I could not read myself. Hipster Please, and its companion podcast Radio Free Hipster constitute an invaluable music resource to me.
