The playlist is: YOB1 - 4/8 - Ant - They Might Be Giants - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plI2PipKE3s YOB2 - 4/9 - Firefly - Over The Rhine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND6iaecEvwA YOB3 - 4/10 - Legendary Pink Dots - Kingdom of the Flies - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGHrnCe8_vE YOB4 - 4/11 - Dolores O'Riordan - Centipede Sisters - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6sWOuccGYA YOB5 - 4/12 - Oingo Boingo - Insects - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pWYERNOHtw YOB6 - 4/13 - Mirah - Gestation of the Sacred Beetle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJay6ndwwik YOB7 - 4/14 - Pigface - Insect / Suspect - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXewUkx6N4s Since you guys have been instrumental (no pun intended, but I'll take it anyway) in assembling the playlists, I figure I'll ask - are you interested in me posting a weekly playlist here? Feel free to contact me via direct mail with yeas or nays so as to not clutter the list. Regarding the Big List of Bugmusic - I'm still compiling that. I've got going on 600 entries at this point, and a source for a lot more to be integrated into it. Since that was specifically requested, I'll post a link to the full list once it's done. Thanks again for all your help. - -- brni i don't want the world, i just want your half. http://www.kappamaki.com/ http://brni.livejournal.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:44:43 -0400 From: Karen Hester Subject: Marina and the Diamonds 30 second clips.

But they haven't commented at all, in any public way that I can see. I did notice that this got slashdotted, and there are a fair number of comments also questioning the real story. I guess I get to suspend judgement pending additional data.

It's an unfortunate story, and if the email from the Kickstarter staff member was reproduced accurately and in full, then the company certainly does need to to improve both its policies and its communications skills. > > But I'm not at all convinced that we have the full story: either Rachel Marone and her manager really gave up after one email, or there is an extended conversation with Kickstarter of which we are seeing just a tiny selected slice. It's hard to believe, for example, that there isn't some facility for suspending or moderating comments on Kickstarter, or a harassment resolution policy. If Kickstarter does not offer this sort of service, then Ms. Marone is absolutely right in her concern. But her post would have been more effective if it had proposed these sorts of options, and/or given us a better picture of the discussion with Kickstarter. As it is, frankly, I'm not sure why I should believe Ms. Marone's account. > > All that said: if Kickstarter does *not* have an effective mechanism to deal with this sort of situation, they need to fix that immediately.
