today and tomorrow

It’s Friday afternoon, time for some music. Kode9 - 9 Samurai.

PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT ONLY

I’m a true ni9e / F.A.T. fanboy, here is his next project: Explicit Content Only, a vinyl album. On side A you can hear a curse words only version of N.W.A.’s classic album Straight Outta Compton. On the B side is the Explicit Content Only version of Eazy-E’s ‘Eazy Duz It’. You can of course buy it or download the mp3’s. Or even better, watch it spin.

I know, I’m a little late to this Muxtape party. The tag line explains it all: a simple way to create and share mp3 mixtapes. You can upload up to 12 mp3’s to this service and share the mixtape with your friends and the world. The interface is soo simple and perfect.
On the technical side, all files are hosted on the Amazon S3 servers (one of Amazons Web Services). I really would like to see some stats and the bill on the end of the month.

This short video called ‘Praliné’ was made by some of my colleagues at TheGreatEscape. No animals were harmed during the shoot, it’s all special effects. Unfortunately, Milbo the guinea pig died a few days later, he was 7. Eddy, the jack russell, on the other hand is in full health and is looking forward to his first birthday next month! Music by Burial.

The ‘Digital MIDI Step Sequencer‘ is an Arduino based MIDI sequencer. I’m in awe for the breadboard design! Make sure you watch this video of the first prototype on YouTube.
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It is part of the whole Processing open-source movement. Everyone who wants to get into physical computing should get such an Arduino board.
I whish I was smart enough to build something like that … I’ll try to make an LED blink tonight, promissed …

“Besides the impressive functionality, this is some some very elegant breadboarding at work.” - Make Magazine

‘Machine Gun‘ by Portishead, from their upcomming album called ‘Third’.

The compositing of this music video for the Naive New Beaters ‘Live Good’ is very impressing!

Unfortunately this record cover for FuckALoops ‘The Early Aughties’ isn’t really that animated. Design by pipiparade.

Tengu is a small USB gadget that lip-syncs to music, your voice or … Neat! The brave out there who want to build one themselves should go here.

Vinyl Remarks is a website where you can find and submit text, which you sometimes find between the run-out groove and the record label . I really like this idea and the look and feel of it.
