    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

    “Acid Tongue” by Jenny Lewis. Recorded at Stubb’s in Austin, TX on June 22nd, 2009.

    Same audio workflow as last time, but I was further away from the speakers and got much better recording as a result.

    WTF is up with Firefox 3.5?

    So I just installed Firefox 3.5 for Mac OS X (10.5.6) and got a really annoying bug within the first minute of usage. Note that the URL in the screenshot below points to my photosteam page on Flickr.

    I click the link to the first image in my stream and… the URL stays the same. You can’t see it in this next screenshot, but the Back button is disabled as well.

    Miraculously, creating a new tab and then switching back to the original tab fixes both issues. WHAAAT?

    I’ve been a Firefox proponent for a long time, but this is just unusable. Google, hurry up with the Chrome, will ya?

    UPDATE: It appears that a third-party extension (Favicon Picker 2) is the culprit. I disabled it and Firefox now works as expected.

    The test was positive. Nonono. I mean positive like it’s good. The test results were negative. Oh, I see your confusion. That’s funny. Ahahaha. Ahahaha. Funny. Jack thought the test results was positive.

    “Just The Same But Brand New” by St. Vincent. Recorded at the Mohawk in Austin, TX on June 19th, 2009.

    I captured the audio using the Voice Memos app in iPhone 3.0, and converted the M4A file to an MP3 in Audacity. The sound isn’t perfect — there’s a lot of clipping, especially at low frequencies — but it’s a handy way to bootleg a show in a pinch.
