How to be a playa (note to Spanish speakers: not "beach")
We're gonna talk music, but before we do that, I have to do a poll of Are Seven readers (that's you). You may have noticed the little jukebox that I have. It's a simple Flash app, and it works pretty well, but it's probably a little bit of a pain to switch over to another page to hear the sweet, sweet tunes that I lay on you jazz cats. So I found the code to that excellent single-song player that you may have seen on some other sites and I thought I'd give this a try.
So the question before the listen: which do you prefer? Do you ever listen to all of the songs in a row on the jukebox page, or would you rather just stay on this page to cross "Listen to R7 jammies" off your to-do list? Or do you never really ever listen, you ingrate?
On with the tunes...
The New Pornographers, "My Rights vs Yours"
The first listen of the new New Pornographers record Challengers hasn't left a great impression on me. They're expanding their sound a little bit, but it seems like they've lost the energy of their previous albums when they found a new direction. Still, this song has that classic AC Newman melodic touch that will never get old. That verse melody could shine through a brick wall. Gorgeous.

Did you pre-order the ridiculously souped up bonus version of this? It's so involved, I'm not sure I even fully grasp what's contained...
What's a..."pre-order"? I seem to remember that phrase from a very, very distant past, but it's not making much sense anymore.
Ooooh I like the new playa. My vote is for inline music. You know what they say about clicking.
Oh, do I ever know what they say about clicking. I'm one of "them".
I figured people might like the inline better. It is a little easier. But I was wondering if anyone puts it on the jukebox and just plays.
Oh, and the mp3s will always be available at areseven.com/audio.
Not to be picky, but didn't you originally have the flash player on the front page? Why do we have to choose one or the other? Why can't we listen to the player (and all its songs) without having to click to another page?
JESUS!! You're SO PICKY!!
Yeah, I would have preferred the jukebox on the front, too, but when I switched over to blogspot, it wouldn't work on that page because of the references in Flash blah blah technical blah, so I had to keep it on the areseven server. I could have fixed it, but I just didn't.
I'm a huge fan of the inline music player! Nice job Reid.
I'm all for the inline player. I'm also all for Challengers, which is the early favorite to be the record of Hans's 2007 summer.
