Just like playing mum’s pots n pans as a kid…

Love what David Byrne has to say about democratisation at 02:45

Remember when music was simply FUN?

Thanks to our mates at Rumblefish for pointing us to this.

John Maeda’s Laws of Simplicity

Muzicons go right to  the heart of the power of music - its ability to communicate emotion - succinctly and directly. 

They’re already a great personal branding tool - and with a bit of tweaking, mashing and imagination could be turned into a powerful communication tool for brands.

If the creators could make it easier to integrate into blogs, and social networking sites like the iLike Facebook application they could have a real winner on their hands.

Here’s my muzicon for cool. (Apologies if it doesn’t show - Wordpress/the Muzicon site/flash are bit flakey for some reason)
