Dark Night of the Soul or Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse and David Lynch

KONONO N°1 or DIY Necessity

They created a electric band in a place with no electric instruments. Microphones made from alternator batteries, 40 year old loud speaker horns and homemade instruments is what use to make music. You have to admire their ingenuity. An of course it is original. It is lo-fi world beat Kraftwerk meat the Congo.

Radiohead’s Nude Remix on PC parts or 6/8 Dot Matrix Rhythms

I found this on the very cool Retro Thing. When I heard about Radiohead’s remix contest for Nude I was excited. Then when I heard the track my enthusiasm waned a bit. Radiohead were having some fun with the song they selected. If Radiohead was a Shakespearean character the their fatal flaw [...]

Weekend Links or Mastering, Documentaries, Steam Punk and Nude Statues

I wonder what Watt would have though about the steam punk business going on now. They have done everything else why not a guitar. Though this does look like something that BC Rich would have sold in the 80’s. It might be the flying V. Maybe a little to [...]
