The original Drunk Covers series was one of my favorite parts of The Waiting Room, and it was great to have an encore performance of “The Waitsing Room II: Cruel Variations,” which was originally aired back in July 2008. (Which, so far as I know, was no longer available anywhere online).

Click through to the page on official.fm for the full track list and to download, or just click play below and listen for 2 hours of Waits cover goodness.

They do “Same Love,” their pro-gay-marriage (really anti-discrimination) anthem, but also “Thrift Shop” and “Can’t Hold Us” (with Ray Dalton).

Vegan Black Metal Chef at Roflcon

This weekend I was lucky to attend ROFLCON III, the third (and reportedly final) version of the internet culture conference at MIT.

One of my favorite sessions was “Drunk Vegan Black Metal Scanwiches,” featuring Hannah Hart of My Drunk Kitchen, Brian Manowitz from Vegan Black Metal Chef, and Jon Chonko from Scanwiches in a live demo.

Although Hannah confessed she wasn’t actually going to get drunk during the demo (it was only 11am on a Saturday morning), she was funny and engaging throughout, helping Brian (in full Vegan Black Metal Chef garb) make a Seitan Buffalo Wrap. Jon from Scanwiches did scan the final product, and showed the crowd, but I haven’t seen it show up on the site yet. Not sure it will make the cut – he seemed very particular about what he will or won’t post.

Hannah Hart and the Vegan Black Metal Chef

I was obviously most interested in the Vegan Black Metal Chef, who shared some interesting details. First, he films everything at night, by candlelight, so he doesn’t start taping an episode until like 10pm, and tapes through the night until the following morning. He also creates (writes and records) all the music for each episode, and does all the video editing. Guess this is why the episodes don’t come very frequently!

Spaceward Ho!

It’s a very faithful port. Dispatching ships to other planets by dragging with your finger almost actually feels more intuitive than the original mouse-based versions. The AI is just is difficult to beat as always, and the sounds and graphics are just as they were in the original.

I’ve been playing it on my commute home, and an more than one occasion nearly missed my stop due to the infamous “just one more turn” feeling the game inspires. The game was ported by Ariton and they are on twitter at @spacewardho.

Definitely the best game I’ve found for the iPad so far.

Excellent live session on Audiotree Live from The Giving Tree Band.

I actually found The Giving Tree Band via a feature on them in the January VegNews, which highlights their commitment to the environment (the article itself doesn’t seem to be on the web yet):

Much like the memorable Shel Silverstein book that inspired their name, this septet aims to meld accessible artistry with a powerful message about interconnectedness with the environment. While many artists and musicians fancy themselves sustainable for driving a Prius or buying organic carrots, GTB takes it to the next level—biodiesel-fueled tours, biodegradable CD packaging, and a tour manager who moonlights as a vegan chef are just the tip of the iceberg.

Their discography includes:

• Great Posessions – 2009, recorded in a carbon-neutral facility (the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center in Baraboo WI)
• Unified Folk Theory – 2009 (2CD)
• The Joke, The Threat, and the Obvious – 2011

Right now, on the band’s site, you can get a bundle of all three albums for digital download for just $24.99.

They’re also among the (planned) contributors to Home on the Range, a benefit CD for Compassionate Farming Education Initiative:

Home On The Range is a benefit compilation CD presented by CFEI. Our mission is to raise funds for several non-profit farm animal sanctuaries including Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, Happy Trails Farm, Animal Acres, Catskill Animal Sanctuary, Sasha Farm and Kindred Spirits Sanctuary. Proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated directly to these organizations that depend on private contributions to rescue, feed, care for and provide a safe shelter for abused and neglected farm animals.

Home on the Range Features songs by Yoko Ono, Moby, Chrissie Hynde (of The Pretenders), Nellie McKay, Matisyahu, Howard Jones, Dead Stars On Hollywood, Bare, Princess Superstar, The Giving Tree Band, Joy Askew, Dropa, Kim Drake, Early Melodic Animals and exclusive songs by members of The Buzzcocks, Crass, Spiritualized, UK Subs and Coil.

The benefit CD is unique in the fact that it is comprised entirely of established vegetarian and vegan recording artists, promoting compassion while raising public awareness and helping educate people about these issues on an unparalleled global scale. Featuring eco-friendly packaging and includes CFEI’s exclusive “Compassion 101”, an accompanying comprehensive educational booklet and resource guide. The CD will be released internationally with both physical and digital distribution in Spring 2012.
