As Chris says: ‘This one really goes beyond the first mashup and uses 24 videos, pummelled together in real time.’

The evil Facebook are now sharing all the songs you listen to on Spotify in their new Ticker — the bar on the right that reports your activity in real time. So, next time you listen to Fleetwood Mac all the cool kids will laugh at you. Unless, of course, you go deep and turn on Private Listening – which is a bit like when you turn on Private Browsing so you can ‘search for a present for your partner’ on a browser.

To do that simply update to the newest version of Spotify. Once you’re up and running, open the main Spotify drop-down at the top and click ‘Private Listening.’

Simple.

And once you’ve finished just click again to disable it.

Hype Machine evolved into a lean back, non-stop rich radio experience. The app differs from the site with an even sharper focus on discovering new music – de-emphasizing ways to go back to familiar artists or songs. There is no artist search, on-demand playback. Your favorites are still in the app, but they are mixed with what the blogs you follow are posting, so that you’re always finding something new.

By the way, is it just me or does this kinda look like something Nokia designed? And, while I’m on the subject, what happened to the inclusive thing Google? You usually invite me to your party.

Pitchify helps you find good music on Spotify. Pitchify collects reviews from the two excellent webzines Pitchfork and Drowned In Sound on a daily basis, then checks if the reviewed albums are available on Spotify. Only albums that have received a rating of 8 or more (out of 10) will be included on Pitchify. Lots of albums are reviewed every day, and thousands of tracks added to Spotify every week. Pitchify tries to sort through the pile, throw away the Gagas and the Nickelbacks and present you with the very best that Spotify has to offer. Albums that are not immediately available on Spotify will be added to Pitchify’s queue, and presented on Pitchify when they become available.

Our latest connectivity track, Desire has launched today. The track was created by Paloma Faith, Graham Coxon and Bill Ryder-Jones and is as the next installment in our line of music collaborations.

The single is available for free download via the website (here) and follows the October release of Didn’t Know What Love Was by Bernard Sumer, Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard.

Dazed and Confused are describing Desire as “…a stomping hybrid of garage punk, rockabilly and squealing jazz saxophone..”

Hell yes.

There’ll be plenty of activity and we have, as is tradition, made an accompanying video, which will launch next week. About that, I am very excited…

For now, here’s the track.

Desire by Converse Desire

Record companies and artists are beginning to realise that Apps can replace albums and bring fresh revenue streams to a model decimated by piracy. The D.C. band Bluebrain created the world’s first album that doubles as a location aware mobile application. The app will sync songs, and even melodies to a listener’s location as they travel through The National Mall in Washington, D.C. The app ensures a unique listening experience based on the whims of each user based solely on location.

‘The National Mall’ is the first in a series of location-aware musical works that Bluebrain will compose and design for sites around the world in the coming months and years. The second work of this nature, designed for Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York will debut later this summer followed by a piece that will stretch the entire length of California’s Highway 1.

Interaction Design studen Jordi Parra has created a music player that enables you listen to Spotify via personalised RFID tags that can be attached to the magnetized volume knob. Each RFID tag has a unique ID that is recognised by the player enabling it to pull music linked to that specific tag. RFID tags are be created by connecting the player to a computer via USB, with users able to assign a playlist, album or a Spotify search to different color-coded tags.

At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

The C60 Redux concept is a prototype for listening to music, with the focus being brought back to the actual process of “seeing” and arranging music by hand. Developed by some folk at  IDEO the player works by enabling the user to place on it cards embedded with RFID. Those RFID chips contain tracks and so you can create your own playlist by arranging them in a clockwise fashion. The physicality of the cards also means each is capable of having its own custom design, or artwork.

Soundcities uses recorded soundscapes from world cities made over the last twelve years. The Database is also open so anyone can upload sounds they collect from world cities, thereby making a contribution to the project and making an online sounds archive.
