While this was not where we expected to find Sooz in the paper (Local? National? Arts? Sidekick?) it introduced us to a  previously unglimpsed side of her personality.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Sooz, it seems, has her own internet radio station on the popular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.live365.com\/index.live\">Live365<\/a> streaming audio site. As it happens, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.live365.com\/index.live\">Live365<\/a> is one of the few premium services that the professionally parsimonious Dowbrigade actually pays for, listening to obscure channels like Momo Radio (Brazilian Funk) and LoungemasterLondon (electronic\/chill), so we will add Sooz&#8217;s Exploit.Boston channel (Boston indie bands) to our favorite channels list &#8211; for as long as it lasts.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The gist of the article is that due to a substancial rise in ther fees internet broadcasters are forced to pay for the rights to use the music. This is not a problem for Howard Stern and satrad, but if it goes into effect it will effectively shut down poor Sooz and her &quot;dozens&quot; of loyal listeners.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cyber.law.harvard.edu\/blogs\/static\/dowbrigade\/Stata.gif\" width=\"250\" height=\"362\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" align=\"right\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">We expect to see Sooz this weekend at <a href=\"http:\/\/barcamp.org\/BarCampBoston2\">Barcamp Boston II<\/a>, a free (registration required) Un-conference to be held at the <a href=\"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/evolving\/buildings\/stata\/index.html\">MIT Stata Center<\/a>, one of the most discussed recent additions to the local architecture here in Beantown. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This bizarre building is the latest excretion of controversial Canadian architect  Frank O. Gehry. We really like what he did with the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, but the <a href=\"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/evolving\/buildings\/stata\/index.html\">Stata Center<\/a> reminds us of a particularly unpleasant STP trip we took in 1972, at least from the outside. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Hopefully, we will soon get a chance to post from the conference, and get to see what the inside looks like.
