I haven’t been doing much MusicBrainz stuff the last week besides finally getting my test server up and running .. I’ll explain with two words. Xbox. Halo. ‘Nuff said.
Some media blips I thought others might find interesting:
John Peel, a UK radio DJ luminary who has brought many a budding artist into the limelight through his “Peel Sessions”, has died of a heart attack at age 65. It is a sad day. Details.
Hilary Rosen, the former CEO of the RIAA has, in a Wired article, had some promising words to say about Lawrence Lessig and the Creative Commons license. Details.
That is all.
MetaBrainz Blog 
A small Musicbrainz-flavoured tribute to John Peel:

For those unawer of John Peel see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peel
Forgot these:
http://www.musicbrainz.org/newsearch.html?limit=0&table=album&search=peel+session
Is there some way to get URLs as hyperlinks in blog comments?
Apropos of an IRC comment, and Peel’s death, we could update the news banner on the MusicBrainz home page with a “featured query of the week” with some artist or other aspect of current interest. Something like the “featured article of the day” on the Wikipedia site http://en.wikipedia.org/
Discussion of this idea to musicbrainz-users…
