Poster...live transmission
I wonder if Ian Curtis of Joy Division would've ever guessed that the band, New Order, that rose from the ashes of his death would be pioneering a new technology to share music via a poster? A *poster*? Yes indeed. New Order is using interactive digital posters to beam song clips to cell phones via infrared and Bluetooth. Cool!
In related news, I finally cracked open the Joy Division 4-CD box set Heart and Soul which I got for Christmas. Aside from a few live bootlegs that are circulating, this box set captures everything they ever recorded -- over 80 tracks. And I must say, it's absolutely incredible.
