I dug up this MP3 of “GEB” that I did a while ago. Mid tempo Electronic tune. Typically bleapy. Neat use of sliding EQ near the begining (If I can be immodest enough to use the word neat describing my own work). I’m pretty sure this was done 100% in Jeskola Buzz. Weird slow-mo dream sequence near the end. I’d like your opinions.
Oddly transfixing. This guy kinda reminds me of Zappa.

James Brown died this morning, Christmas 2006. One of the most influential people of modern music… Billboard, CNN, NME, NYT.
Lou Reed is playing an AOL function. “Between songs Lou looks pissed, but I think that’s normal. He tells the crowd, “You can keep on talking, I’ve only got 20 minutes. Or I can turn up the music. I can turn it up so loud it will hurt. Do you want me to turn it up? Do you want me to make it hurt?” (rough paraphrase). How awkward.” (Link) (Via Boing Boing)
Crazy fun electronic/punk/cartoon/8 bit game music. Plus-Tech Squeeze Box is an electronc band, and according to the Wikipedia page, they are of the Japanese genre “picopop“… bleepy electropop. Of course I love that. I’ve found some excerpts from the CDs on their website. Amazon and CD Universe lists their “Cartoom!” CD as a > $30 import. Gah. Anyway, check ‘em out. (via Comfort Music)
I love this song, “Standing in the Way of Control”… download it (and others) here. Think 60’s garage rock/punk. Think Gang of Four but with a throaty soul girl singer.
I was kind of irked that iTunes makes it a pain to make ripped audiobooks behave properly. It irked me that audiobooks showed up in shuffle and wouldn’t keep a bookmark like ITMS audiobooks. Then I found in iTunes 6.02 the checkboxes to fix this. Nice, but I’ve got a bunch of audiobooks now and to go back and click all those boxes… anyway check out this javascript I wrote: MakeAudiobooksBookmarkable.zip. It is for Windows and iTunes 6.02 or higher, any track with genre “Audiobooks”, “Audiobook”, “Talk Radio”, or “Podcast” will be set as “Remember Bookmark” and “Exclude From Shuffle”. Use at your own risk.

I like The Bastard Fairies a lot, they are sort of bliss pop/twee, slightly strained, good vocals & lyrics. I’m hooked. Their album “Momento Mori”, as MP3s, is a free
