You probably ought to download Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business
Posted on March 16, 2010 | No CommentsAn outstanding e-mail showed up in my inbox a few moments ago promoting the release of Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business. It's a remix album from OC ReMix, the people who are famous for, you know, remixing video game soundtracks. (I used one of their Street Fighter remixes in a video review about a year ago.) But, yeah, Serious Monkey Business!

Posted on March 16, 2010 | No Comments
Roland just started shipping the AC-33 Acoustic Chorus Guitar Amplifier. This cool gadget is world's first battery powered amp built specifically for acoustic guitar.
With a 30-watt amp and 5 inch speakers, you're not going to rock Knebworth with this thing. But if you're trying to impress the college girls at the local coffee house with your re-interpretation of "Your Body is a Wonderland" or if you're staking out a corner in the local subway station, then this baby is for you.

Pink Floyd only wants you to download their entire albums, not individual songs
Posted on March 12, 2010 | No CommentsThere was an interesting debate on today's Ron and Fez that speaks to a subject we've been whinging about for some time now: digital delivery of content, specifically of music. Pink Floyd has won a court ruling that will put an end to places like iTunes selling its songs individually. The band feels that their music can only truly be appreciated in the album format, from start to finish, and it never liked people being able to pick and choose what songs they wanted to download.

Review: Acoustica Mixcraft 5
Posted on March 10, 2010 | No CommentsAcoustica’s Mixcraft 5.0 is a multi-track recording studio that allows you to record audio, use pre-defined loops, create videos, and more. They like to call it a kind of “Garage Band for Windows”, and it certainly does let you do a lot. Anyone familiar with multi-track editing won’t be intimidated by this, but [...] -
The rise and fall of iTunes LP (cue dramatic music)

Oh, now you don’t support music piracy? Sure, OK, Keith Urban, whatever you say.
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No CommentsTo say I know who Keith Urban is would be scandalous. I've since learned, in the six seconds of research done for this here post, that he's something of a country music singer. He must be a good singer, too, since he recently won the People's Choice Awards for Favorite Male Artist. In his acceptance speech, he thanked people for listening to his music, adding, "I don’t even care if you download it illegally, give it to your friends, I really don’t care." And then it all came crashing down.

SteelSeries asks: You know the goody bag given out at the end of fancy events?
Posted on January 26, 2010 | No Comments
Jimin-with-the-big-FLAC-collection and I met with one of the SteelSeries guys today. It's funny: you think you understand where a company's coming from, but then you sit down and actually talk to them and it's like, “Wow, OK, you guys are pretty cool.” So to the people who will walk out of Sunday's Grammy Awards with one of those fancy gift bags you always hear about, I can say this: you'll probably enjoy the SteelSeries headphones you find in there.

Posted on January 25, 2010 | No Comments
You’ve been working on your music career for 13 years now. Take things to the next level by purchasing a higher-quality microphone. You know, one with an XLR input. Ask any touring musician about microphones. They’ll all be like, “Dude. XLR all the way. You have to spend more than $5 on a microphone if you want to get a record deal. That’s how they keep the riff-raff out of the music business.”

Michael Jackson. 3D. Grammy Awards. Rubbish.
Posted on January 21, 2010 | No CommentsI don’t know, guys, something about a Michael Jackson 3D video making its début at the Grammy Awards this year. You need to get the glasses at Target or Staples. 3D stinks, we all know. All it’s going to take is a big-shot director to give a speech at the Academy Awards saying, “Can we [...] -
Ever wondered what an image would sound like?
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No Comments
We found an interesting little blurb about a software program that converts images into music. Specifically, it "converts the RGB, Red, Green, and Blue, values of every pixel of an image and plays a 3 note harmony based on the RGB values. It reads the pixels from top left to bottom right playing a song a long the way." According to señor willburns1 on his blog (link), "most of the time it seems like set a child loose on a piano but it is sometimes pretty cool."

The Mobile Mobile is a magnificent and melodious module of merriment
Posted on December 24, 2009 | No CommentsFaced with an agency-wide phone upgrade that left fifty older HTC devices homeless, UK-based Lost Boys International decided to act on instinct in the most natural of ways: by turning each device into a cog in a musical mobile that hangs just inside the entrance of its Brick Lane studio. Even better, all those phones are connected in a way that turns each one into a member of some crazy techno orchestra, the results of which can be seen after the break in an unbelievably fun rendition of a Christmas song you're bound to hear a dozen more times today. If that's not enough, you can also control it live, thanks to a webcam and a flash interface that accepts keyboard commands. LBi Creative Director James Théophane has the project chronicled if you want the full details, but more importantly, just make sure you experience the holiday choral after the break.
