You won’t be disappointed.

Woodgrain mobile phones now plz k thx bai.
For the last few months, I’ve been getting vibed out by a lot of people for my outgoing voicemail message. In the offending recording, I warn callers that I may not be able to call them back for two or three days and gently suggest they send a […]

Theo Parrish of 3Chairs at DEMF07
In a one-question interview with moodmat this week, Theo Parrish offers a heavy, if reductive, look at the music industry color balance. Although some readers will no doubt take issue at the super-simplified picture he paints of American pop (what, no brown people?) his fundamental idea is worth grabbing onto […]

Already hyped as “the new Star Wars kid” and “the next Tron Guy” by peeps in the know, Halo Kid mania is on the rise.
Using only cardboard and packing tape, the Halo Kid achieves an astonishing level of detail in his work. To date, he has crafted all of the weapons in Halo 3 and […]

The video of Feist playing on Sesame Street reminded me to dig up the clip of Herbie Hancock demoing the Fairlight synthesizer on the same show twenty years earlier. I am terribly sad to report that it appears to have been taken down by the user! Terribly sad.
If anyone knows where I can find this […]

Translation Nation #1: Pobre diabla llora y llora

Don Omar at Fenway Park, 5 July 2008
This week’s installment of Translation Nation is dedicated to el rey (de melodrama), Don Omar. The king put on quite a dynamic performance at Boston’s Latino Family Festival; inadvertently clowning Luny Tunes for their lame no-show from the weekend before. He […]

Mad people have been fwd’ing articles about the subpoena of YouTube users’ viewing records today.

“Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users’ names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled […]

Zombie Nation tour setup
Everyone wanted to know, “Will he play it?”

And there you go !
Zombie’s set was cool. Loops dropping in on each other with some particularly ill moments of noisy feedback cut-up on 4-on-da-floor techno.
Did you know that Zombie Nation == ZZT?

Dancing to a roughly the same tempo for two or more hours can […]
