Just ran out to get a copy of the November issue of Wired, which includes a CD of 16 songs produced under the Creative Commons License. So, now you can truly collaborate with the Beastie Boys, David Byrne, Thievery Corporation, Chuck D, Matmos, and more. The same way open source software spread a network of distributed collaboration, I think more open source art (licensed under Creative Commons) could fuel a similar artistic network and possibly, a new form of art. Anyone know of a site where people can post their versions or mixes off the CD? If so, let me know…

Moblog pic. Perhaps what the cab cam is seeing.

Welcome to V5 of the site! It’s also the first moblog entry (a photo taken with my camera phone on the corner of 2nd and Mission). Love living in SF. It’s taken a while to get here, both metaphorically and in reality, but some things are worth the wait and worth the effort.

I’d heard about the Berlin Love Parade festival and stopped by the site once in a while. This is the first year Love Parade San Francisco is being held in the US. This city definitely supports electronic music and dj culture, and gave roots to the progressive peace movement to begin with.
Apparently, we’re right on the parade route for most events here (there’s always seems to be festival going on in SF) so we just went up a few blocks to the start of the parade. People were letting loose – lots of big wigs, wacky costumes, angel wings, cowboy hats, naked people of all ages, genders, and subcultures, giant floats and dancers. Long live faux fur and blue wigs! House music blasted down the parade route with djs spinning on top of flatbeds and floats. We followed the Om Records float for a while to catch good house tunes. Then, as we neared the embarcadero, we found ourselves next to the jolly green froggy van, a group dressed like bumblebees, and a dj that was playing funky soulful beats. A great combination with the perfect sunny weather. Feelin’ the love!
