Update

Chris Leone — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:59:16 +0000

Time to finally break the silence.

I’m sorry things have been very quiet around here lately. Between buying a house/moving/work/etc., things have been hectic and projects needed to be re-prioritized. I should have been more open in communicating this from the start. Sorry about that.

drumFunny will be back up and running soon enough. Just bear with me during a brief hiatus. We’re still receiving submissions and planning for some great WGI lot videos in Nashville and Dayton.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed their displeasure

We’ll be back soon…

-Chris

Two YouTube Videos And A Mother F***ing Cross Fader

Chris Leone — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 05:06:38 +0000

TwoYoutubeVideosAndAMotherFuckingCrossFader.com is not much more than a poor man’s DJ mixer that takes any two youtube videos and places a cross fader in between the two. It’s crazy simple in design and execution, but it does the job. Only drawback is you can’t preview a song before fading over (as is typical with a proper DJ mixer). Still, for poor college students who run party tunes from their laptop, the price is right; free!

Misa Digital Guitar

Chris Leone — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:25:41 +0000

This Misa Digital Guitar is a Linux-powered MIDI controller that ads the forgotten element of skill back into homemade electronic instruments. Explained by the creator:

“In electronic music, the timbre (or colour) of the sound can be morphed in an infinite number of ways. For a guitar to accommodate this, the right hand needs more control than just plucking strings. You need to be able to control elements of the sound, such as sustain, pitch, filter cutoffs, contour or any other synthesizer parameter, in a way that has no physical constraints.”

Ok Go Responds To Disabled Video Embedding

Chris Leone — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:56:14 +0000

You may remember I called out Ok Go for disabling video embedding for the This Too Shall Pass video. Apparently, their record label’s decision to prohibit others from sharing the video across fine blogs such as this has prompted the lead singer to respond to the community. Reader’s Digest version is he apologizes, the band is talking with their label to allow embedding, and record labels keep trying to survive on an old, increasingly outdated model.

It’s definitely an interesting read as he justifies the record label’s responsibility to their share holders. But let’s be serious, when labels pluck the ripest talent from the internet’s viral videos only to place a chokehold on their content for their monetary gain, something is wacky. Granted, they are funding the band and their music, but a more sensible model must be out there somewhere.

Thanks to Ukulele Boy’s rendition of “I’m Yours,” I can now proudly say I like a Jason Mraz song!
