Spent the day looking around for info on the Future of Music Policy Summit. I'll probably head there Friday to check out 3-4 conferences before work. It's not too bad, 34$ for the day when you're a student, so, that's like 8,50$ for 4 conferences. I'll be there from 9:00 to 3:45...

I can't wait! It's going to be quite interesting and hey, maybe even some fun involved! And, like always, I had to choose between 2 awesome conferences, and well, the The New Deciders: Metafilters, Blogs, Podcasts won. It was either that or Avatars with Guitars: Music for Games which looked like a great subject too, but the quarter fell on heads, so that's that.

The last one is surely going to interesting, I mean, there'll be band members of Arcade Fire, Stars, Malajube and other panelists, so hum, can you say highlight of the day?

I'm currently listening to DJ Shadow - Endtroducing..... and well, if this isn't a classis, well, what is it? I mean, with all the sampling, beats and moods, this is one of the best Hip-Hop CD in my collection. It's definetly a must have album and well, just go buy it. It's usually not that expensive too, so, well, Go!
