my new new music robot

to make up for lack of tuesday jazz

i took a bit of time out to write a script to pull down new music from music websites, so i can listen to things while on the train & find new stuff w/o having to flip through the interwebs in a browser

anyway, it seems i'm a bit rusty in python... not done much since last fall, really.

as such, it took me 2 hours...

but here we go, all comes down to single loop:

for i in range(2,20):
    url = "http://this.bigstereo.net/page/"+`i`
    savelinks(getPage(url))


full source code here.

Maya Lin, of Vietnam Memorial fame (at 21!), has some new work in NYC.

other than being lovely, i couldn't help but notice the resemblance between her new balls o funk & the fantastic Katamari Damarcy ps2 game.

Also worthy of mention here is Sheldon Brown's Scalable City - a 4k version of Katamari but with generative levels, a trackball, and a million little details that make it worthy of seeking out.
