Remixing things up: how artists are using remixes to get in the game
Music charts are largely irrelevant, downloading is killing music's old way of doing things and a new social network or music service like Spotify can open up a new outlet for artist discovery and create it's own set of problems.
Independent artists are taking advantage of the current melee by promoting themselves in other ways. Take a cursory glance at the popular chart on well-known music blog aggregator site The Hype Machine (hypem.com) and the high probability right now, is that the song sitting at number one will be a remix. No longer confined to obscure twelve inches and B-sides, the remix has become the calling card of many an artist, indie or major label in today's fragmented music world. Remixes are credible, disposable but great for word of mouth.
James O'Neill, the brainchild of Dublin electronic pop outfit Bitches With Wolves used The Hype Machine's chart for his own gain when he released a remix of his current single Hurricane by the producer Ghostboy to blogs a couple of weeks ago (DOI: I also posted it on my blog). The song ended up at number two in The Hype Machine Twitter music chart. "Because of the fact that it's a global chart and you don't know who is watching, appearing on it can give you exposure to a potentially wide – if somewhat random – catchment of people," O'Neill says. "My manager received a huge amount of feedback and enquiries from really random places that particular week. In terms of creating a buzz for yourself, there's nothing quite like it."
Hip-hop artists have a long tradition of using mixtapes to promote their upcoming studio albums. It's a policy adopted by 24 year-old Kristine Flaherty more commonly known as Stanford-educated white female rapper K Flay. Through her website, Flaherty has released a three-volume mixtape, which has helped her get noticed by the likes of Liam Howlett of the Prodigy.
Flaherty is a fine example of a modern musician working her way through the world. She writes book reviews on her blog in her spare time and when not working on her own music, she uses her production skills to "cross-promote" by remixing artists like Oh Land, Beastie Boys and Kreayshawn. "It's another way to promote as a fan of that band might find me through that remix," she explains.
Flaherty points to an example where the right remix has really worked for an artist, citing the case of Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi who released a remix by Italian dance duo Crookers of his song Day and Nite. "The remix blew up big time and then that fueled the success of the original version and Cudi in general".
Kid Cudi went on to work with Kanye West on his recent LP. The system is broken but a new system can work.
Band of Blogs: Major Lazer, ANR, Burial vs. Massive Attack & Jessie Ware
Major Lazer
Diplo and Switch return to their electronic dancehall project with artwork that nods to Don Draper and a tune which bangs like some kind of Dutch jumpstyle tune. Rugged and raw.
Major Lazer featuring The Partysquad – Original Don
Burial / Massive Attack
(Almost) anonymous dubstep producer Burial got his hands on two Massive Attack songs with their blessing and reworked them into 12-minute long dark gems.
It's Around You is full-bodied electro-indie from ANR (Awesome New Republic), a duo born out of the South Florida warehouse party scene. What do you mean you've didn't know that existed? Tut tut.
Jessie Ware
Having featured on records by SBTRKT and Joker, the young South London singer impresses on her own debut single Strangest Feeling with a super sweet and commanding vocal presence over skittering electronica.

Serving up a brew in Bushwick's newest bar. — Photo by Mimi Luse
Just in time for all the art hubbub this weekend, Brooklyn Fireproof's bar, The Alley, officially opened its doors yesterday.
Two years in the making, the bar will serve as a café and watering hole for the 100+ studio residents, employees, and various production crews working at the storied Brooklyn Fireproof Artist Lofts and their Nut Roaster video production facilities. It's about time, because apparently the need around Ingraham and Richardson Streets was dire. Kevin, who runs the Nut Roaster, jokes, "We wanted a good cup of coffee without having to walk all the way to Archive." Understood.
Near the Morgan L stop, chances are everyone else living and working in the area will become regulars as well. A former boiler room, the place has an exposed brick wall and an already lived-in feel. Open days and nights, they are serving the fancy kind and the regular kind of coffee, good beer on a rotating list that "changes at the drop of a hat," cheap wine at no more than $8 a glass, nice cocktails, and a $5 PBR+ shot of whiskey special until 9 pm.
It is well worth mentioning that the place has free wifi access. Also, in a couple of weeks, The Alley will start serving a full menu and brunch — pancakes, waffles, eggs, the whoel deal. More to come from this reviewer on that subject.
This weekend The Alley will be hosting a series of events to coincide with Bushwick Open Studios. This Friday, the bar is hosting an art opening afterparty to the painting show "Fortress to Solitude" at 56 Bogart Street. Spinning starts @ 10pm with King Eulas then DJ Josh Druckman (Chinatown 1, Disco Pete, Bsas) taking over. On Saturday, The Alley hosts live music outdoors under a tent, with Scott Liss starting an acoustic set at 6pm, and on Sunday, June 8th, Goldworld plays at 4 pm.
UPDATE: Apparently the name has been suddenly changed to Brooklyn Fire Proof (BFP) East. Rolls, uh, right off the tongue. Countdown until they re-change their minds and it goes back…
BFP East
119 Ingraham

About Coach Gary
I have an undying passion to make a difference for people by coaching leaders in the areas that will make the biggest difference. Business coaching is the avenue I choose to inspire others to have their dreams fulfilled. I love it when a client comes to me and says, "not only have we transformed our organization, but I have a family that I have fallen back in love with and I feel like a different person."
There's nothing like walking into an organization and hearing a cheerful greeting from every employee I pass in the hallway "Hi Coach Gary". It's a glorious day when I know that I have earned that level of respect and then I know THEY GOT IT. They know my word is gold and when I say I am 100% committed to their dreams I am being completely authentic.
After a long entrepreneurial journey of owning businesses and a difficult, but successful ten year career in real estate, I realized there was something missing in my life. I realized my ego had gotten too big and my heart had gotten to small. The truth is although I had reached most of my financial goals by the age of 30 I was not happy.
I met Jim Selman and he said the words "Business Coach" back in 1989 when no one recognized the term, including me. But the words rang in my ear like no others ever had. I was so inspired by this great industry and getting involved with an industry that really truly made a difference for people. This was a path I could be proud of. I also realized, however inauthentic I was at the time, that this work was a way that I could also transform my own life and commit to staying on a path that would keep me fulfilled and honest. Integrity, commitment and accountability come at all new levels. But, mastering these distinctions made and makes all the difference.
After 20 years of providing business coaching to literally hundreds of organizations and every industry imaginable I believe I can say without a doubt that I am an expert on human performance, sales, cultural design, customer service, strategic planning and leadership. I cannot imagine that an issue I have never faced would show up. But the stories and the faces are different and the level of the challenge is always an exciting venture that I am thoroughly excited to commit to. Any leader who is to the point of throwing his or hands up and can say, "please help me I don't know how to get beyond this point", I am there. I love removing those barriers and seeing new found freedom on people's faces. It's what I live for.
About eight years ago my personal goal to transform the world really took hold and I realized the only way to make that happen was through sharing our methodology. I began developing, what some have declared, as the leading training model for business coaches.
I have facilitated over 5000 meetings and retreats and have spoken at over 200 events on topics such as: Business Coaching, High Impact Leadership, Building a Powerful Team, Holding Employees Accountable, Strategic Planning Made Easy, Excellence in Customer Service, Training a Successful Sales Team and many more.
My articles have been published in Fortune, Entrepreneur, The Sacramento Bee, Business Journals and Managing Success Magazine as well as many others.
I am available to any leader who would like to discuss the impact business coaching can have on their organization. Please call me at (916) 922-7766. I am often traveling around the world, but check my messages daily and will get back to you as soon as possible. Blessings, Coach Gary

Came on a quiet Wednesday night. Very nice ambiance, decent wine selection, well crafted appetizer selection, however, settled on fried Calamari which was average (to be fair it's hard to do too much w/ that dish, but I've had better). The rest of the menu was very well thought out with a lot of creativity in each of the main dishes. Recommend mint pasta with the lamb shank with heirloom tomatoes starter. The place more than holds it own, with reasonable entree prices, however, they tend to take it out of you at the bar or appetizer selection which costs nearly as much as an entree. There are some average wines and house selections that go for $14-18 a glass and just seemed a bit exorbitant in the end. Bottom line, if you're looking for a quality, consistent, at times inspirational meal, and don't mind a little sticker shock that comes along w/ such an evening, you've found the right spot (for at least a limited 1 time visit, if not a return).

A delicious meal, reasonable prices and very nice service

My server was fanatasic, very accomadating. Me and my 2 friends finished eating and paid the bill. 2 of us were finishing our drink and 1 was in the restroom. The manager of head host, came up to us and told us we had to leave, because they needed the table in 5 minutes. Tell me the name of one restaurant in NYC where you never have to wait for 5 minutes, even if you have a reservation. How rude. The poor waiter who took care of us was mortified. Regardless of the food quality and the great waiter, I will not go back there. How rude

Went to Bocca this weekend and had an amazing experience. The food is absolutely delicious - really reminds me of being in Italy. Try the Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe - it is out of this world!! I would highly recommend this excellent restaurant!

i might have been a little drunk last night so pardon my inability to read the menu but i'm fairly certain the squid ink spaghetti w/ the creamy seafood sauce is no longer available. this is, in my huge and opposite of humble opinion, a terrible mistake. it's one of their best dishes! instead, we had the pasta alla amatraciana which was really, really salty. the flavors otherwise were great. the guanciale is pretty salty to begin with, and i'm sure that wasn't taken into account when whoever prepared the dish seasoned with salt. bummer! i considered asking the server for a small bowl of ricotta as it would have evened out the salinity but i didn't want to be a jerk. the maialino (roast pig) comes with great, shatteringly crisp slabs of skin and moist, tender meat. oh, that was a winner, indeed, along with the roasted potatoes it was served with. however, the obviously canned artichoke hearts, not even rinsed, still tasted of the brine they arrive in. but whatever, who eats artichokes on platter when there is roast suckling pig to be eaten? there was a charming italian fella, young, who kissed each female patron on the hand or cheek, and shook every male patron's hand upon their departure. he was sweet, asking why i selected the wine that i did. "i am from umbria," he said in his delightful accent. i, having ingested wine elsewhere with coworkers, mumbled something about lidia bastianich. this seemed to placate him. anyway, i'll definitely go back. three shared courses AND a bottle of wine and the total, pre tip, was around 100$. thanks, y'all. love this place!

Bocca has exceptional food and drinks! Must try the house made black linguine, it is absolutely AMAZING. Bocca also won't break your wallet for the quality of food they serve. This place is great for celebrations or a cozy date for two :) Highly Highly recommended.

service is fantastic, as was the eggplant timbale (i was swayed by the previous review, actually, so thank you for suggesting it as i LOVE eggplant so much). i also enjoyed the crispy polenta topped w/ mushroom & house made sausage (i believe it was a special for the evening). unfortunately, as i felt ill (not at all related to the food), i had to depart early, and the server was gracious enough to knock the entrees off the bill since they didn't make it to the table before i had to leave. i'm only saddened because they didn't have the maialino available the night i went, and i was REALLY looking forward to it. i was a bit crushed.

RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A federal appeals court has reversed a lower court's decision that had tossed the murder conviction of a Reno woman for the 1997 shooting and robbery of a taxicab driver.
Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto announced Friday that a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a decision that had set aside Letisha Babb's murder conviction.
The 34-year-old Babb was convicted of murder in the robbery and death of John Castro.
In 2011, a federal district court ruled that Babb must be retried or released because of erroneous jury instructions at her trial.
But the federal appeals court ruled she wasn't entitled to any relief because of the overwhelming evidence of her guilt.
She remains at the Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center in North Las Vegas.

Clean Retainer – How to use Retainer Brite Review
Clean Retainer
This is a Retainer Brite review on using Retainer Brite cleaning tablets for having a Clean Retainer and other dental appliances. It is based on my personal experiences and research of the product. Please let me know about your experiences with Retainer Brite and if you've found any other solutions that have helped you maintain a hygienic and clean retainer!
Recently I had the joy of having my braces removed after 2 years. I knew I was going to receive a two-piece metal and plastic retainer, but I didn't realize the responsibility I would be inheriting in utilizing and maintaining the retainer set. Not only was I instructed to wear it the retainer set all day for an entire year, but I would also have to maintain it properly so that I could preserve it for the remainder of its use.
My orthodontist did give me a list to follow in order to have a clean retainer, but this list had very little information and left a lot of questions unanswered.
- Take it out only when eating or brushing your teeth.
- Don't leave it in the heat.
- Use a toothbrush to clean it every time you eat.
I was also instructed to use denture cleaner twice a week in order to have a clean retainer, which made daily maintenance a hassle. My only other option was using my toothbrush and toothpaste.
Why did I look into other options for having a clean retainer?
After a week of attempting to balance individual retainers in my hands while using my toothbrush to clean it, I decided to look for other daily cleaning methods. I'm glad that I took the time and decided to look further. Soon after I learned that using a toothbrush for cleaning 'any' plastic or acrylic dental appliance can cause small grooves to form. This creates the perfect environment for bacteria. Over time this can cause your retainer to become more difficult to clean, in addition to causing odor and the potential health related issues.
Since the recommendation of using a toothbrush was actually not ideal for having a clean retainer, the only other cleaning option I had was to use denture cleaner. I didn't like the idea of using denture cleaner and it was only recommended as a bi-weekly cleaning option. I was also skeptical to purchase a product that is intended for dentures. My goal was to find a product that was created specifically to clean retainers that could be used daily and would also simplify the cleaning process. I love efficiency.
So what cleaner can I use daily to have a clean retainer?
After some thorough research I found an alternative product to clean retainers with, Retainer Brite. Retainer Brite is an effervescent cleaner created to clean orthodontic devices such as retainers, mouthguards, nightguards, bruxism appliances, and TMJ splints.
It's purpose is to control odors, remove plaque and prevent new plaque. It leaves the appliance shiny and clean. I also learned that Retainer Brite was created by Dentsply, which is the same company that creates Essix retainers. Essix, a retainer industry giant, gave me added confidence in the brand.
Retainer Brite was created with a delicate PH balance that differs from denture cleaners. It will not yellow or damage retainers over time. Another excellent feature of Retainer Brite are the small individually wrapped tablet packets. This makes Retainer Brite easy to travel with.
How does Retainer Brite help with having an odor free and germ free clean retainer?
I grabbed a short glass, filled it with warm water and dropped one tablet into the cup. The water bubbled as it started turning blue and I dropped both retainer pieces into the cup. After 15 minutes, the water was clear, indicating that it had finished and I now had a clean retainer. I drained the cup and swished fresh water around until the retainers were completely rinsed clean from the tablet liquid and placed it over my teeth. It was a perfectly clean retainer and I couldn't taste anything.
After my first use I was thrilled because the process to have a clean retainer was so easy!
Although the process took longer than using a toothbrush or toothpaste, it was much easier. It only took me a few seconds to set it up, and I was able to finish my morning routine while the tablet did the work for me. I'm comforted now knowing that I have clean my retainers are clean, plaque free and being cared for properly.
When should I use Retainer Brite to have a clean retainer?
The best time I've found to clean my retainers thoroughly is in the morning before starting my day. Throughout the day while I eat, I place my retainers in a warm cup of water so that my saliva doesn't dry on them. The warm water also softens any debris that has accumulated, making them easier to rinse off. I brush my teeth before placing them back on my teeth and they stay fresh. This allows me to avoid using a toothbrush to clean my retainers. I rely on Retainer Brite for a thorough cleaning every morning.
Which appliances does Retainer Brite not work with?
Retainer Brite is not appropriate for dental appliances that have a solder point. This is also true in the case of denture cleaner. The solvents in effervescent cleaners will erode solder points over time causing them to darken and become brittle. They eventually break off, leaving your retainer unusable.
So please make sure that if you have a metal retainer that you do not have any solder points before purchasing this product. If you do have a solder point, you may have to resort to using a soft toothbrush with warm water and a non-whitening toothpaste for your deep cleanings. Here is an example of a solder point:
Another thing to consider about using Retainer Brite to clean your retainers is that it contains Persulfate. Persulfate is a chemical that is found in denture cleaners as well and may cause an allergic reaction in some people. It is not common and allergic reactions generally occur from misuse of the cleaner, such as chewing the tablets or improperly rinsing your retainer after use. More information on Persulfate: Web MD – Denture Cleaner Allergy
Where can I buy Retainer Brite?
An added benefit of Retainer Brite tablets is that they're economical and they are eligible for Amazon Prime. This means you get free 2 day shipping with no minimum order. You must be a member to be eligible. If you're not a member then shipping is free for standard 5-7 business day delivery when you purchase $25 of super saver shipping products. It's important to note that Retainer Brite is NOT sold in stores. I highly recommend Amazon because of their excellent customer service and quick shipping.

Point SublimeThe name of this drive says it all, but the views of the Canyon from out on the point are only the half of it.
By Robert Stieve
When the payoff on a scenic drive is something called Point Sublime, it's reasonable to think that the drive itself might fall short. In this case, it doesn't. Not even close. The old-growth ponderosas are part of that. So are the other evergreens, the wildflowers, the meadows and the extreme solitude that'll make you wonder: Why aren't there more cars lined up?
Sublime ... that means stupendous, right? Why am I the only one out here? You'll be intrigued by the isolation, but not for long. You'll be too busy looking around.

Laying the foundations: The story of Georgetown's architecture

The Fashion Issue: Fall 2013
This season is a melding of hard and soft, meeting at a blurred edge. Pastel colors come together with leather panels, studded sweaters meet tartan skirts. Men's prints meet womenswear in a houndstooth dress—the bold pattern is almost a neutral. Mixed-media coats paired with delicate, single-soled heels. Mild decadence is in the details, with rich textiles and prints coming together in moody hues. Welcome to fall.

|The Snoedel Infant, Newborn or Preemie Baby Sleeping & Bonding Aid BlanketThe Natural Baby Snoedel (sounds like Snoodle or Snoodel) is a sleeping and bonding aid developed by a mom. Snoedels are handcrafted in the United States with 100% cotton flannel fabric and 100% cleaned and combed wool. With the addition of the special natural wool, the Snoedel is better able to absorb and retain your scent. For times you can't be near your child, you can fulfill his or her need for your presence with this unique stand-in. Just place the Snoedel for three or four consecutive nights on mother's or father's bare skin to allow it to absorb body scent. Then position the Snoedel in your baby's bed so that the baby is able to smell your scent which is slowly released. When held or placed near a newborn or infant the scent is slowly released to comfort the baby, thus improving sleep, aiding in bonding, and soothing a baby's crying or distress. To refresh your scent on the Snoedel, rub it against your bare skin at least twice a week. Snoedel helps promote falling asleep more quickly and reduces baby's fear of being alone. It's in wide use in hospitals, and is particularly comforting to preemies who often are separated from parents right after birth. Can be machine washed in warm water. Handcrafted in a blend of premium quality 100% natural materials. 100% cotton flannel and pure Dutch sheep cleaned and combed wool. Approximate size 18" x 18". Handmade in USA under "newborn-safe" conditions, environments free of tobacco and perfumes. (shipping weight 1 lb)

Florida Rep. Allen West (R) today followed up his earlier criticism of Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R) statement that she would consider drilling for oil and gas in the Everglades if she was president, writing a letter to Bachmann telling her the Everglades are "absolutely off-limits" for "exploration of any kind of natural energy resource," Yahoo's Chris Moody reports. According to the Palm Beach Post, West had promised to "straighten her out about that" when the House reconvened in Washington this week. Other Florida Republicans, including each of the party's 2012 Senate candidates, rebuked Bachmann's comments, as did Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).

Lately, a day doesn't go by without hearing some bad news about the economy. As parents, it's natural that we sometimes may become stressed, depressed or angry. Children often sense this, and can feel stressed and anxious, too. So what can we do for our children during these difficult times? The following tips may be helpful:
Keep the lines of communication open
It's more important than ever to keep communication open and honest with your children. Kids sense when their parents are worried – and they need to know why. Reassure your children that while circumstances may have changed, they will be safe and OK.
Learn to spend time together not money
Kids want your time not your money. They will remember time spent together, whether it was fishing, playing ball or learning to ride a bike – not about what parents bought them.
Continue your routine
Structure and routine are more important than ever during these times of change. By keeping some things the same all of the time, like bedtime routines, mealtimes and family traditions, children will feel safe and secure.
Limit screen time
Limit TV and media time for you and your children. Children will become anxious and worried when they hear too much information they don't understand. If you do watch TV together, talk about what you see and ask questions about what they think and hear.
Take care of yourself
Make sure you are taking care of your physical and emotional health. If you need to see a professional, do so. There are agencies that offer free advice on finances. Call 2-1-1 for information about getting the help you need.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has some great in-depth information and resources to support parents and other caregivers in talking to kids about stress and the economy. I find this information extremely helpful–and I hope you do too!

Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei has defeated Democrat Samuel Koepnick to represent Nevada's 2nd Congressional District.
The 54-year-old Amodei was seeking a full two-year term Tuesday in the seat he won in a special election last year.
Amodei had been expected to easily defeat the 31-year-old Koepnick, a state information technology worker in Carson City.
The heavily Republican rural district stretches across northern Nevada from Reno to Elko. It lost vast parts of central Nevada to the newly created 4th District.
Amodei previously won seats in the state Assembly in 1996 and the state Senate from 1998 to 2010.
He served as chairman of the Nevada Republican Party until May 2011, when he won a special election for the seat vacated by Republican Dean Heller's appointment to the U.S. Senate. (AP)

The Next Stephen Hawking May Currently Be A Night Elf Mohawk
As you and I both know, video gaming has no redeeming qualities, and certainly not MMORPGs, which are well known to lead to carpal-tunnel syndrome, the heartbreak of psoriasis and the rising price of lima beans.
However, it's nice to see that some are finally starting to notice some of the positive influences that come from MMOs. Constance Steinkuehler, described by the article at Wired magazine as "a game academic at the University of Wisconsin" (which is code for "Hib hates you for having the perfect job and hopes you develop the heartbreak of psoriasis") has written a research paper on the fact that the best players in MMOs become so by using….ready for this?…the scientific method.
She and her co-author, Sean Duncan, downloaded the content of 1,984 posts in 85 threads in a discussion board for players of World of Warcraft.
What did they find? Only a minority of the postings were "banter" or idle chat. In contrast, a majority — 86 percent — were aimed specifically at analyzing the hidden ruleset of games.
More than half the gamers used "systems-based reasoning" — analyzing the game as a complex, dynamic system. And one-tenth actually constructed specific models to explain the behavior of a monster or situation; they would often use their model to generate predictions. Meanwhile, one-quarter of the commentors would build on someone else's previous argument, and another quarter would issue rebuttals of previous arguments and models.
Of course, I doubt if a majority of raiders are even aware of utilizing the founding principle of almost all human scientific development…but then again, sometimes you learn the best when you're not aware you're being taught. For example, see if you learn anything from two of the comments on that Wired post:
I also find the authors remarks interesting, but I think the academic is deceiving herself. If she truly believes an addicting and socially damaging activity such as this is in the least bit beneficial she is at best misguided at worst stupid.
What video games can accomplish and what schools can accomplish are two very different things and no responsible academic would ever seriously try to make this comparison. This is tabloid journalism poorly masquerading as scholarship.
Now, what did we learn from these comments, made under an article wherein* an academic game player conducted research, analyzed her findings and concluded that MMORPGs teach scientific processes, and as a result are doing a better job at that in her opinion than science classes?
That's right! We learned quite a few of the people that vocally think video gaming makes you stupid…should probably play a few more games.
Steinkuehler (which is German for "you'll have to cut and paste this one unless you're better than Hib") met with one young person that had compiled a spreadsheet with a particular boss' data (collected over several raids) that enabled him to determine the best way to take him down, and Wired reports she had this exchange:
"Do you realize that what you're doing is the essence of science?" she asked.
He smiled at her. "Dude, I'm not doing science," he replied. "I'm just cheating the game!"
And that's what science is…cheating "the game", which in this case is "what we consider to be the physical principles of the universe".
This also means that we should ban the inventor of television from the universe for hacking, but I suppose that's a given.
* The use of the word "wherein" indicates that this is, despite all appearances, an educated post, filled with scholarly observations. This, of course, makes it stand waaaaay the heck out from the rest of this site. I apologize, and promise to try to work more posts about night elf porn into things in the near future, since that's my top keyword at Google, and it may distract me from the flashbacks I'm now having about my once-thriving Master Weaponsmith's business in SWG, and the spreadsheets and data tables I still have from those days. Sigh.

Virtual CSA Box: Sweet Corn
The corn is high in the fields, and driving through the country is like driving through a screen of green stalks and golden tassels. Weekly CSA boxes all have sweet corn - check out Boston Organics, for instance.
What do you do with all this sweet corn? We like to keep it simple - eat it off the cob (with toothpicks to follow) or quickly sauté the kernels, like in this Herbed Corn with Lime Butter recipe. More ideas below...
We ate a chopped salad last weekend with corn, cucumber, herbs, and leftover grilled steak that was pretty sublime. You can still grill it, of course, like in this Grilled Corn with Spicy Chili Butter from Leite's Culinaria. We were also struck by this rather fancier recipe, also at Leite's: Sweet Corn Madeleines with Caviar and Crème Fraîche. Wow. We also like this Corn Salad in Radicchio Cups.
What are you doing with the sweet corn in your box, or from the stand on the corner?

We've been using Boston Organics for a few months now and can't say enough wonderful things about them! Our box is 50/50 fruits/vegetables delivered every other week. They send us locally grown produce when available and each box includes suggested recipes. The interesting, and at times surprising, selection inspires us to cook new and creative meals we might not have considered.
I appreciate the shout-out to Boston (really! those were some painful weeks when we were still frost-bound and the Virtual CSA Box was featuring strawberries), but Boston Organics is NOT a CSA. Maybe you didn't mean to suggest it was.
You're not buying a share from one local farm when you join Boston Organics, so you're not providing a farm the same support or insurance that you would if you joined a CSA. Apart from that, Boston Organics does not have exclusively local food, and it's much more expensive than most CSAs.
Oh good point, v - it's definitely a different thing.
Though I haven't had it in years, I used to make corn fritters with leftover corn on the cob. I know you're supposed to deep fry them, but I always cooked them like pancakes and served them as such and they were just perfect. Maybe I need to go get some corn just so I can have fritters-pancake things.
Hollaback from Bostonland to concur with V, above: BO is not a CSA and, though convenient, does not approach the amazing local bounty of a true CSA. I was actually unimpressed in the pre-farmers'-markets days this spring with their produce. May try again when the season ends, but until then I just hit the markets while I shop around for a CSA for 2008.
Nora, I joined Red Fire Farm, which has a drop off right near Union Square in Somerville. They're based in Granby, which is near Amherst, and they're an organic farm. I've really liked it and they have shares that run into December (although this is my first year so I don't know what the November/December shares are like). I know there are a lot of options, but that's one to keep in mind.
Also, Union Square has an awesome farmer's market on Saturdays from 9 - 1.
Hey V, thanks for the rec. I live in carless in Somerville, and could bike to Union to pick up and haul most times, I think. Haven't made it there for the market, but I hit the Copley one both Tues. and Fri., as it's near my work.
I used to CSA in Chicago with a year-round farm (they bought and traded with others, so it was not only local but was more like a consortium of like-minded and like-aimed farms) and the winter boxes were actually quite good: roots, gourds, squash, hearty greens. Really widened my repertoire in the kitchen. I think that's one of the biggest advantages of a CSA: stretching yourself, culinarily. Though if I NEVER have a big white cabbage stuck in the back of my fridge, lasting for freaking EVER, it'll be too soon.
Yummy and simple - slice off kernels from cob, mix with chopped tomatoes and a little mayo. Salt and pepper to taste. Great way to use up leftovers!
