Recently brought to my attention by a Brainwashed colleague, the online-based "PLUG Independent Music Awards"
touts itself as representing a "community coming together to recognize
its own." Yet, judging by the choices on the ballot, the "plug" of its
namesake apparently serves instead as a tool to keep both the
organizers' and participants' heads securely buried within their own
assholes.

A friend has just contacted me about your Podcasts that are kept on Podcast.net.
Neither of us can get any of the old Brainwashed Podcasts only the current one.
We have both tried to grab the ones listed here :
http://www.podcast.net/show/396
with no luck. The RSS feed only lists two Podcasts, Kranky and the most recent
one.
Do you know if there a problem with their site? Do we both need ipodder
software to get them? iTunes only gets the most recent one
We only host one Podcast at a time usually for a number of reasons: server space and traffic being probably the biggest. If you miss one, then subscribe and you won't miss another.

Hi there, I'm an avid listener of the Brainwashed podcast. I am currently
recording my own podcast here in LA. As a longtime brainwashed reader
and fan of the brainwashed artist roster, I would like to ask about the
feasibility of using select music in my own podcast. What might I have to
do to get this accomplished ?
There has been big news recently about the RIAA coming down on Adam Curry for
using music that isn't 'podsafe' and this has forced many podcasters like
myself to research different options. I come to you guys first because I want
to expose listeners to artists that I personally love. We aren't a radio show
so I won't be playing songs in their entirety; rather I would like to showcase
song segments or as something in the background. I would give on air credit at
all times, and follow that up with links on our webpage showing listners where
they might purchase material from the aritst.
Anyway, tell me what the rules are on this game. I'm new to all of this so
excuse my ignorance on the issue. As I said, I come first and foremost as a fan
that wishes to share his favorite music and hopefully generate sales for the
artist. Thank you for your time.
The Brainwashed Podcast only features music from the artists and labels whose websites are hosted on brainwashed.com. I can't speak for other music we don't have permission to play nor other Podcasts in this world. You should either contact bands and labels directly who you want to use or just Podcast at your own risk.

I'm offended by those who consider art to be just (or even mostly) content.
What I always knew about Rimbaud and which I grow to appreciate more and more
as I research him for my "opera" [working title: 'Les deserts de
l'amour'], is that his genius as a poet is primarily in his FORM. This cut-up
crap destroys the very essence of his poetry. Anyone can think up a sequence of
provocative images on their own, without having to pillage them from complete,
form/content-integrated works of art written by others.
Sure, whatever.

i heard a track on webjay which was linked to brainwashed - it was so amazing,
but i cannot locate the track's maker. It was a remix of INXS "never tear us
apart" with the lyrics spoken over so effectively and ghost like. I must find a
link to it - any ideas??
No idea at this point.

hi.... robert king stierle here.
i humbly submit my latest original palindrome to your most esteemed collection.
"In words, alas, drown I."
can be shortened to "In words, drown I."
or lengthened to "In word salad, alas, drown I."
but i prefer the first one.
thanx for publishing my other original palindromes.
Dogma in my hymn: I am God!
No, Sir. Panic is a basic in a prison.
i would be cool if you could include a link to my homepage somewhere on your
site
Why?

Our kindergarten teachers always told us how we should be sharing, but
the RIAA would have you believe otherwise. Looking at any recent
major label release, the packaging is pretty much destroyed now with
big blocks of text, an FBI symbol and a warning. Unfortunately,
monster megalith Sony BMG isn't out to warn the consumer or provide any
information that they're illegally loading "malware" (malicious software) onto unsuspecting
machines.

Mr. Dean, you are a very talented writer. Your piece about "Domino" was
thoroughly engrossing. I, too, am a good writer, but I could never, ever,
write such a piece, or any piece for that matter, with such content, diction
and flair. You are to be commended for such a talent. This comes from a
gun-toting conservative who would likely disagree with most (if not all) of
your political views, but would nonetheless read such views were they written
with such amazing prose.
Thank you. I feel enlightened.
Thanks for reading.

A recent piece from The Nation
offers some compelling questions that the so-called "Katrina
Commission" should aim to answer. Unfortunately, the unsurprisingly
Republican-helmed congressional investigation will almost certainly
leave many of the concerns expressed unanswered as politics-as-usual
trumps justice.

After being alerted by a Brainwashed reader to this fascinating article from the Washington Post about ultra-trendy "Kill Whitey"
parties in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (where else?), I was not only
perturbed by what I learned about the racist underside of indie
trendoids, but I also discovered a little
tidbit that might potentially be very embarassing to indie freak-folk
darlings CocoRosie.

Did you know that there was a Golden Girls spin-off in the early nineties called The Golden Palace?
Broadcast on CBS, it starred three of the original elderly gals (Betty
White, Rue McClanahan, Estelle Getty), with vital supporting roles
filled by Cheech Marin and Don Cheadle, the latter best known for his
Academy Award nominated role in Hotel Rwanda.

Nekesa Mumbi Moody has just published an article on how "Best Of" albums are not so great these days.
But have they -ever- been? She identifies who's doing it all wrong but
bands and labels are often confronted with the task of "how to do it
right." Here's a helpful guideline to anybody faced with making a
compilation.

This past week, Sony BMG agreed to pay $10 million in fines over their
illegal Payola practice. Payola is as old as the recording
industry itself and is basically another way big business labels fuck
everything up for the rest of us.

Terror attacks in Western nations are about to become as common as
those in Israel. "Could it happen here?" was nearly all you heard on
television in the days following the July 7 bombings in London. Not
only could it happen here, but it will.
