All the music in this week's playlist comes from the Magnatune compilation Downtempo Chill by DJ Cary. The artists are all part of the Magnatune label, which promotes independent artists with a shareware-style "try before you buy" model. You can listen to entire albums on their web site and choose how much you want to pay for each album. It's a fairly unique model, and that's kind of a shame, really.

Click here for the full compilation.

In the interest of full disclosure, Magnatune is not paying me for any sales. They did, however, give me full access to their music catalog, which is podsafe, though you'll need to contact Magnatune to download MP3s for podcast play. Click here for more info.

I've decided that it's time to make some major changes to the Dave's Lounge web site. These changes will take place some time in the next two weeks. I will attempt to do this without disrupting the current RSS feed, but I can't make any guarantees on this. Keep an eye (and an ear) out for details…

This week's opening monologue was somewhat inspired by this post by Danah Boyd. I met Danah a year and a half ago at a podcasting seminar at Duke University. She writes some very interesting stuff about social media and its impact on our culture. Worth seeking out if you have the time.
