A Post Punk Tumblr

Elizabeth Fraser talks about why she finds it too difficult to even think about her old Cocteau Twins bandmates. -

perpetua:

This is a fantastic article, and not simply for the fact it is the first interview with Fraser in over a decade. It’s very moving, particularly as it gets into her tangled emotional issues with ex-partner Robin Guthrie.

I’ve changed the theme here to take advantage of the new mp3 tag parsing features on Tumblr. It’s rough and there might be some issues with older posts, but I thought I’d share some html with my fellow music tumblrs. It’s rather trivial, but I’m no web designer.

If the audio file has correct information, then you can generate something like “More [Artist] on Last.fm” with

{block:Artist}
<p>More {Artist} on <a href="http://www.last.fm/search?q={Artist}&amp;type=artist">Last.fm</a></p>
{/block:Artist}

Similar code applies to AmazonMP3, Emusic, Discogs, and Wikipedia.

With album art, I use the album information as the alt tag:

{block:AlbumArt}
<img src="{AlbumArtURL}" {block:Album} alt="{Album}"{/block:Album} />
{/block:AlbumArt}
