Standing Around Playing Music
Proof that every band I like doesn't jump around like maniacs -- early live performance from the Violent Femmes, circa 1985:
Merging For You
Haha the classical musicians and fans are getting younger than the rock ones! Here's some cool fusion going on between Deep Purple and the London Symphony Orchestra.
Pleasant Valley
I've been listening to this playlist lately that contains no one but Chopin & Monk. Then I found this nice jazz rendition of a Chopin piece and I dug it much.
Smart, Very Smart
Building walls based on animal skin. Cool & Smart. We will never run out of better models and better design when looking to nature. Considering that the buildings we build account for over 50% of the pollution we poison ourselves with, it stands that it will be builders and architects that can most effectively address our efficiency issues.
Clean Sweepin The Jango
OK so none of our bands have hit the Jango Global Top 10 yet, but we are definitely on a run over at Jango.
Last week, the 4 Flux-adel bands that are on Jango - Roaming Crazy, 2MERICA, The Stares 20/20, and Ezraz -- all scored high enough for the bonus round. Each of our artists does well overall on Jango, but we've never had all of them score high in the same week. Very cool!
Fans are collecting from around the world (without facebook's help), so however you listen to music online or off, do some promotion for our fun little Flux-adel family.
ps -- we are planning a huge release party this summer for all Flux-adel Artists -- stay tuned for more info soon.
8 Bit Goodness
I present the first computer I purchased and still a favorite of mine, the 8 bit goodness of the Atari 130xe. Commodore people were everywhere back then (like Windows now), waiting 23 minutes to load a game, but my Atari rolled fast and stable. I had a disk drive, a modem, and probably a whole 512k of RAM. Plus leatherette cases!
The whole system. I had a 1200 baud modem to access the FreeNet, the BBS's, and the Gopher servers. Hook into any TV set and phone line and off you go!
So what could this thing do? It had a nice soundchip for the time and could get pretty funky midi going (for 1985). If I had my studio then I would have been producing music on this thing, for sure, but I was just a snot nosed 12 year old.
Out Here Trying To Be A Star
Junie doing his thing solo on Westbound before joining up with P-Funk.
Sandbots!
Imagine if each tiny little block of something was actually a smart object (meaning it has a CPU, input & output), and that these blocks worked as a group to reposition themselves. Sort of like lego's that build themselves. Cool huh? Real.
Granted these things are not 'sand sized' yet, with some serious miniaturization still needing to take place, but the fun work of the low-level system logic and control design is underway.
The idea is much like a replicator on Star Trek, in that you could provide this system with a 3D item to scan, or a wireframe image of one, and it would send the design to the sandbots. The software in the sandbots would work to position and lock themselves into place, ultimately creating a reasonable facsimile of the object's shape.
Nothing’s Solid In This Land of Plenty
Great solo debut (after doing 10+ years in The Pharcyde) from Tre Hardson.
Can't Stop, Won't Stop, Don't Stop.
Begin Debate Now
The Beatles vs. Stevie Wonder.
I have no pick, there is no first place. Just thinking out loud, who had a better career, who is more top of line to you.... ?
What It Says About Us
Nailed it. Too much information just waving in the wind, waiting to be exploited over and over again. Screaming to be exploited, just for attention.
It’s Holding Back The Weather
...and the same will let it go. I loved these guys. Here they are doing an early hit from a rare american TV performance.
