Azeda Booth - In Flesh Tones
(from some members of Women)
--- Code: ---http://www.mediaf!re.com/?ukndx34wyjt
--- End code ---
--- Quote from: Pitchfork ---In Flesh Tones should appeal to fans of the laptop-ier side of Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins (specifically, Adore), the Notwist, and Broken Social Scene-- maybe imagine an album's worth of "Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl"-- but these comparisons are insufficient, and this is a crucial part of Azeda Booth's appeal. At a time when many popular bands' touchstones can be divided without remainders into Blogger tags, there simply isn't anyone doing exactly what these guys are doing right now. From the first fluctuating tones and galloping, hard-panning snares of "Ran"-- even before the first airy gusts of singing appear-- you feel yourself immersed in a profoundly intuitive musical vision.

I don't know if anyone else does, but I find it hard to keep up with this thread. To fix this, I spent tonight hacking together a parser in python that creates an RSS feed for the mediafire thread. It crawls the latest page of the thread, and generates a list of links contained within. It *tries* to get a title and description from the post as well, but is only successful around half the time, depending on how people format their posts. Hopefully I'll be able to improve this when I get some more time.
The feed is at http://chrisgrice.com/rss/mediafeed.rss.xml . It updates twice a day; again, this will be improved once I have some time.
If anyone wants to improve the parsing, or just the code in general, you can grab it at http://github.com/cgrice/qc-musicthread-scraper/tree/master
If doing this is a Bad Thing, or if people would rather I didn't, let me know and I'll take it down. Hopefully some people will find it useful though! Also any suggestions to improve it will be greatly appreciated.
Be My Head:
Awesome, python is a bitch to code in, so I never stuck with it. But I subscribed to the RSS, hopefully you can get it working better.
I'll have a look see anyway, and mess around to see if there's anything I can improve with it.
