This song gets me a little too amped up. It’s an amazing electronic remix of the Legend of Zelda theme.

Wally De Backer (Gotye) and me after his incredible show last night. Feeling quite fortunate. Been a fan for a long time. We chatted for a while about his rise to fame here. Incredible that this was his first US tour and he’s playing huge venues and selling out shows. Deserved for such an outstanding musician (and nice guy!).

Here’s the song that got me into his stuff five years ago.

It’s been nearly a year since we launched “our little v1 app, SoundTracking” (as Steve referred to it then) and we are ecstatic about the community that has grown from sharing music though SoundTracking.

The SoundTracking kids just started a blog! Rock.

Music to work by

I constantly listen to music during my work day, but I’m constantly struggling to find the right balance between loud, soft, fast, slow, distracting, not-distracting, etc. Inspired by today’s rainy day in San Francisco I’ve put together a Chillwave station on Pandora. You can listen to it here. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Chillwave is defined as:

Chillwave, sometimes also referred to as glo-fi, is a genre of music whose artists are often characterized by their heavy use of effects processing, synthesizers, looping, sampling, and heavily filtered vocals with simple melodic lines.

The genre combines the larger 2000s trends towards 80s retro music and (in indie music) use of ambient sound, with modern pop, as in electropop, post-punk revival, psych-folk, nu gaze, and witch house.
