Machine Shop: Hype Machine Team Blog

Many Tiny Tweaks

We just released a bunch of tweaks we’ve been working on over the past few weeks. Little fixes and additions like revised nav, search suggestions and more. And we finally have A MERCH PAGE, with our necklaces and t-shirts for sale! You might have to refresh once or twice for everything to show up correctly.

If you run into any issues, please describe in detail and provide browser + operating system info, thanks!

We’re in a text book!

For those reading at home, simply open up your copy of Business Driven Technology and flip to page 195.

Does that mean using Hype Machine counts as studying now?

Thanks to Jui Ramaprasad for the photos and heads up!

Pitchfork.TV Launches

pitchforktv.jpg The long-awaited Pitchfork.TV launched today and I’m totally excited! Not only is it a beautiful site and already has some great content, but it looks like they will have special screenings of music related films every week!

This week’s featured film is the Pixies documentary loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies. The Pixies’ 2004 reunion tour documentary follows their first rehearsals to the final show, and the drug addictions and inter-band tension in between.

I haven’t seen it yet, but Team Hype are all pretty BIG Pixies fans, and I’ve been wanting to get ahold of this for sometime. Remember, it’s available for streaming this week only, but you can check out the official site for info on ordering it afterwards.
