Chrome Experiment of the Day: To showcase the versatility of HTML5 (and their browser in the process), Google enlisted the services of Arcade Fire and director Chris Milk to produce “The Wilderness Downtown” — an interactive music video for “We Used To Wait,” which uses Google Maps and Google Street View to incorporate scenes from the viewer’s “old stomping ground.”
You technically need to be running Chrome to view the “experiment,” but it worked just fine for me on Firefox, although your experience may vary.

This was pretty incredible. Also kind of heart wrenching, personally. I’m pretty sure that between both my parents’ houses, and my own, I’m in (at least) my twentieth living space. I didn’t really know what address to choose for this and when I finally decided it took me a while to remember the numbers exactly.
I think everyone should participate in this project. It is a way better use of the internet than whatever you’re utilizing it for right now.
Great concept to attach to an equally great record.](http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7z77db0oO1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

Finally tracked down some Millie Small. Some of the best pop music ever written.
In memory of their bassist, London based HTRK have put together a really great reggae/funk/soul mix. Definitely worth a couple of spins.
