I too stumbled upon this site last summer–I’d been watching a SNL clip where Willem Dafoe and Will Ferrell decide to get “Private Eyes” permanently looped into their brains. What I love about Daryl’s house is what I love about Suzanne Vega’s blogs for the NYTimes–understanding what goes into creating music, and how talented people approach doing what they do, is really interesting to me, as a non-musically talented person. And I love that it’s not for money or to sell records. I love the idea that even if Daryl Hall hadn’t been a big pop star, he’d still have been playing music all these years, because that’s what he’s compelled to do. It’s like, this is what the world SHOULD be like. People screwing around with stuff they like, just because they like it!

Hall and Oates were, are, and shall remain, my favorite band in the world.

Very nice, thanks for the heads-up! I dug Hall and Oates back in the day, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

I would advise them to limit the repeatability of that background track, but other than that, I look forward to spending some time checking it out.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

You’re right, it’s a great site and a brilliant idea. Thanks for discovering it for us.

I wonder if there is a “business model” behind it, or is it just a hobby? It appears to be the latter, although that would be one expensive hobby: you need at least a dozen people, the connections, the place, servers, bandwidth, …

I’d love to create something like this, but I always seem bound by too many constraints, like time, money, people and talent, that might not apply to some “burnt out rockstar” who still receives royalties (presumably)

Or maybe I should just shut up and stop wasting time, reading blogs and following links
