JamBase.com Yahoo Widget
Posted by Brett Robinson in Music, Programming on April 23rd, 2007
I just created a widget that you can use in the yahoo widget engine for JamBase. The “hidden” screen displays today’s date and the number of venues that have bands playing there. The full “open” screen shows all the events and has an info link back to JamBase.com so you can view the event. Now it’s as easy as a glance to see who’s playing in your home town.
Yahoo JamBase Widget: download
I recently ported the code to work as a Vista / Windows7 gadget, just rename the zip extension to “gadget” and you can load it up. Plus you can tweak more preferenes than in the Yahoo widget.

Low Vs. Diamond
Posted by Brett Robinson in Music on April 16th, 2007
I haven’t written anything about music lately, so I thought I would write a post about a band that I really like. The band is called Low vs Diamond and they’re out of Los Angeles. I actually grew up with the drummer, but we lost touch when we were about 13 and when I found out that he was in a band a year or two ago, I went to the site and listened to a few songs (back when they were called Colored Shadows). Anyways, they have a great sound and recently we got to see them play a show in Seattle on a small west coast tour they did. We hadn’t seen eachother in about 15 years, but it was just like old times when we hung out. They also just got signed by Marrakesh Records in London and Epic here in the U.S. Here’s their latest song called “Heart Attack”:
Also, check them out at their MySpace page and their official site: http://www.lowvsdiamond.co.uk/
