Yes, well–I’ve done killed my laptop. As in, “refusal to boot,” AKA “LOL YR FKD LOL,” not as in “I killed the game LOL I rulz0r harhahaha.” And the old adage, “Backup, backup” I know all too well, so it’s not necissary to add those “you-should’ve” comments.” I did have an external drive that I would backup files to at the end of every month or so, but–WOO–that drive kicked the bucket too! The last…
Via Musicthing: For the grumpy electronic musician… Fractalspin’s ‘No, I am not checking my email, retard’ t-shirt. For grumpy DJs, they also do ‘This DJ takes requests’ and who could live without ‘I am totally incrementing this value with all my might’? Being a laptop musician myself, I can attest to the need for these t-shirts. At smaller shows where the DJ booth is on the floor of the venue, or in a small club…
Reading the lastest issue of XLR8R over a hurried solo dinner tonight, I scanned the editor’s column that fawned over a recent single by The Knife of Sweden, who graced the cover in black, Salieri-in-Amadeus-masquerade-party-style raven masks. I did a quick google when I got back to the office and stumbled upon the YouTube video of “Heartbeats” (screenshot at top), and it immediately struck a note of recognition: a remix by the excellent Rex the…
Likely my favorite online clothing store, Mudshark Streetwear in Toronto, asked me to model one of their Kitchen Orange tops, called “Bangle”–I am just a huge fan of Kitchen Orange. It’s a sexy little white top with an open back, and I paired it with one of my MIDI Cuffs for the photo. Hilariously, when I was on tour with Detroit Underground, we were booked by the owner’s boyfriend and crashed at their pad after the show in Toronto,…
Instead of awkwardly typing on your phone’s keypad something to the extent of “cant find yr house” or “theyre charging a cover here at this venue,” try using server response codes! 200 = OK The client’s request was successful, and the server’s response contains the requested data. [FRIEND] hows the sushi ovr there? [YOU] 200 or [FRIEND] is it cool if i come over after work w/ a 6pack? [YOU] 200 202 = Accepted The…
Pretty amazing. They’re four French DJs who’ve made a full albums worth of songs created entirely by turntablism. Check out their site and Myspace page.
This is an short video portraying God as a DJ who controls the outcome of a scene by mixing records. Kind of wish the music were less “cinematic” (it’s mainly an orchestral string-based composition turning into generic ad-house background music) and more dj-battle / breakdance / technical, but it’s fun anyway! read more | digg story [tag]dj, video, funny[/tag]
So you’re at the cool trendy club on a Thursday mixing in the sweet new white label your pal the label owner just handed you, when suddenly there’s an incessant tapping on your left shoulder. You look up and it’s a post-sorority, club-hopping, fashion-clueless Trixie grinning excitedly. “Can you play (retarded over-marketed pop song) by (retarded over-marketed pop sensation)!?” she says to you in that half-question / half-command tone. All you need do is point…
[VIDEO] The graphics look pretty cool–althought the tricks are kind of ordinary in the trailer (although the only way I can do any of them is virtually. :-D). via techeblog via destructoid technorati tags:sony, video, games, skateboarding, tony_hawk, graphics, gaming Blogged with Flock
Flock is a “social browser” built on the Firefox code base, which integrates blogging, photo sharing with Flickr or Photobucket, “favorites” (a.k.a. bookmarks) using del.icio.us, and other collaborative features. I’ve been using it for a few days now and I’m really impressed with the functionality it brings to the browser environment. Yes, Firefox with a bunch of plugins comes pretty close, but it’s conceptually a very cool idea, and seems pretty stable so far (even…
…or just makes it look that way! This cool army-green utility bag has a bright orange “High Voltage” warning strap, suggesting that passersby better think twice before invading your space. I’ve had one of these for about three months now and have gotten tons of comments on it. While it’s not big enough for a laptop (but apparently that’s in the works for the company)It’s a good size for the essentials, plus a big of…
Originally launched in 1983 by Motorola, the first cellphone had a huge pricetag and a waiting list of thousands who were impressed with the ability to be contacted by phone where ever they might be, ignited the wireless communications craze. You can get your own for about 50 USD at, Retrobrick, a UK-based company who warns, in small print, that “these phones use the analogue phone system and will no longer work in the UK.…
