Great idea! If you get one of the new Ford Focus Electrics, you can get a rooftop solar array permitted and installed for only $10k!
With the 10k tax credit for buying an electric this whole thing is actually quite … Read the rest

One of the more radical covers, I dig it for sure. Here’s Come As You Are done jazz bassguitar style.… Read the rest
Why Analog Matters
In reply to a thread on CNet about Record Store Day, I laid out a long reply to the idea that buying vinyl these days is pointless, especially if the artist records digitally. The poster implied that the CD … Read the rest
Knock Knock On Your Front Door, Guess Who?
Wow Michael Franti has come a long way over the last 20 years. I remember the first time I heard this band, I loved them. A big early influence on 2merica, for sure.
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:

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.

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 … Read the rest

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 … Read the rest
Out Here Trying To Be A Star
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 … Read the rest
Nothing’s Solid In This Land of Plenty
What a great solo debut after doing 10+ years in The Pharcyde. It’s Slim Kid 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 love these guys. Here they are doing an early hit from a rare american TV performance.
Someone’s vocals are flat, probably a bad monitor mix.
This band rips – Ty Tabor … Read the rest
More Apps About Buildings & Food
Check out David Byrne’s fake iPhone apps, very cool. I actually found this link as live Talking Heads was streaming. We have converged.

The power and strength of the original Parliaments, backed by the young Funkadelics, recorded properly…. yummy.
