Quantcast

Seeqpod is a search amalgamation tool; put in the band you like, or song title, and it searches the web for publically available sources, scrobbles together a list of those songs, and lets you put together a playlist. The playlist can be saved for later reference. The songs' URLs are also shown, but appear to need to be hand-copied because the Flash interface doesn't permit right-clicking to copy, and the URL itself doesn't launch a new window, copy the URL, or do anything at all apparently. (minor gripe)

There's also an autodetected iPhone specific interface if accessed through the iPhone's Safari browser.

And I still miss Pandora.

Edit: I love it when people respond to inquiries - I wrote:
I'm curious: The URL of each MP3 found is displayed with each found track,
but there's no apparent way to copy it to the clipboard or launch a new
browser window or tab. Why is there no easy link to the URLs of the MP3s
that Seeqpod finds?

Thanks for visiting SeeqPod. We've disabled those links because of legal issues related to downloading and because of the overall unreliability of the links themselves. We may improve and reintroduce that feature in the future.

    See also the hype machine. it lets you just play the whole search results list.

    I'll look at HypeM today, thanks. At a glance, it appears to scrobble from a set of known music blogs; I think SeeqPod is just crawling the entire internet for search terms, and logging any media that it finds, primarily MP3, but also anything on video sites, and then embeds the player. In theory, SeeqPod should return a wider range of results.

    SeeqPod also allows the whole search results to be played; it's just two clicks: "Add All" (left pane) and then "Play."

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
