Really…just more like random ideas for future “enchantments” to the site… At some point we plan to implement some “customer only” pages under the various release pages. You’ll be able to access them by entering a password; possibly something that only a CD purchaser will be able to tell from the packaging. At first, they’ll [...]
I’ve written about this band before. Basically it’s one of the primary influences on me and my music. Even though they only released 2 lps (that I know of) in the 1980s, I still hardly ever get tired of listening to them. I was just making up some MP3s for my portable player, and listened [...]
Silencio draft#5 (about 22:00) Appr. 22:00 long ©2009 tim p scott (click (>) to play) Going through old ideas I I decided to put back my Eno/Budd/Lustmord hat and the result is a new ambient/soundscape piece. It still needs some tweaking but in any case we’ll put up a player with the current draft on [...]
Update stardate 4 Sept 2009 I’m liking this site more and more. If nothing else, their FAQ is the most fun to read of any site. They obviously understand “Web gruettiquette” and “independent music” well. The little player tool that embeds into wordpress stuff doesn’t look so hot. I went back to their site to [...]
Winamp can calculate the “ReplayGain” value for an album, or individual tracks. What is ReplayGain? This will be explained in more detail on the LOUDNESS WARS page but in short, it’s an objective measure for how relatively loud a whole album is. For instance, if an album has a ReplayGain value of -5 dB, that [...]
Originally published 2009 Feb 1 The cool thing about wordpress.com is that you can purchase an option to customize the CSS for your site. This is great and allows you to do amazing things to the site appearance. Of course, the problem is that every browser (Internet Explorer[IE], Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.) has its own [...]
I was worried I painted myself into a corner there for a minute, but wordpress.com was better than I thought. I didn’t read WordPress.com FAQs carefully enough to realize that they didn’t support email (even though they clearly state it in their support faq). Fortunately, they implemented some sort of deal with Google Apps to [...]
For those of you who visited www.crow-caw.com within the last 5 years, something has obviously changed. It was time to revamp the look and organization of the site so it made more sense and was easier to update. (Not to mention cheaper to run!) For the time being, for those who need instant gratification, I’ll [...]
16 Apr 2009: www-crow-caw.com site impressiveness level: 85% Just kidding, of course: actually, I’m happy with progress. What is actually a little depressing now is the fact that the site doesn’t look the same when I use Internet Explorer and the new browsers Firefox and Chrome, which more and more people are using. I don’t [...]
OK, we decided to pay WordPress in order to be able to use the cool CSS upgrade. It’s a pretty reasonable deal, when considering the cost of Crow Caw Music Works’ previous web hosting arrangement. The way you give it its CSS is a little clunky. You have to enter it in the box under Appearance [...]
