Remix the rain next winter with the Rain Drum

Adrian R — Fri, 07 May 2010 21:45:52 +0100

I like that there is so much technology coming out these days, but there aren't many inventions that are both functional and sexy. This umbrella is one of them.

And what's great about this invention is that it's not really an electronic creation. With this umbrella, the different panels are like snare drums that make different sounds when the raindrops hit them.

To be honest, it loRead More...

It's a new millennium, so we need some #updatedphrases

Adrian R — Fri, 07 May 2010 15:53:13 +0100

You gotta hand it to the 20th Century -- it saw the dawn of a lot of cool junk.

There was the horseless carriage. That had to be a killer app when it came out. Like the new Google phones, it had its kinks, like it took a few decades for people to realize they should maybe strap themselves inside of cars to prevent from being ejected and killed.

But they probably had a lot more haystRead More...

L8UPD8 Podcast No. 3 - HEATERS

Frank — Wed, 05 May 2010 01:48:36 +0100

It's Tuesday evening once again and the 3rd installment of the L8UPD8 Podcast is in full effect.
This week I shined a light on some more of those California experimentalists (L.A. keeps killing it!) as well as some Future Dub artists (NOT DUBSTEP!) from France. Strap on your ear goggles for an hour long trip as we serve up a dose of counterculture for yRead More...

L8UPD8 Podcast No.2 - 8Fi-LO-Bit

Frank — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 02:19:14 +0100

We just put together another podcast for your listening enjoyment. This time we decided to keep the theme pretty Lo-Fi and Experimental. Today was the re-release of S.Maharba's 2008 self-titled cassette release on vinyl. Since this release is so limited with only 400 pressings, I felt it deserved a closer listen. Along with a mini feature to round out this week's Read More...

What If Arizona Rounded Up All The Gingers Instead Of The Mexicans?

Frank — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:56:06 +0100

This video reminds me of the PIGS out in N.Y. During The RNC. I think I'm gonna have nightmares because of this one! BTW, Arizona can eat my butt!

No, you're not crazy - there are too many sites to join these days

Adrian R — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 01:56:45 +0100

If you were born in the 1980s or later, chances are you've got a profile on either Facebook, Twitter or Myspace -- if not all three.

But sort of like the days when there were just three network channels, it seems like these three social networks are just the mainstream sites these days, and there are tons of other online services to join up with -- and it's starting to get a little crowded.

My struggle is in trying to decide whether to jump on a new service, or sRead More...

Keep PUSHing 40 Watt!

Adrian R — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:47:58 +0100

I just wanted to write a quick message for my boy Awall, who just launched a new album PUSH last night at the Tower Theatre!

I was TOTALLY gonna be at your show dude! I showed up ready to by the full-price tickets but when I got there, they told me it was SOLD OUT! Damn I should have gotten comped or something.

If you don't already know, Awall is the front man for the band 40 Watt Hype that is blazing a trail across the West Coast and increasingly the nation. You canRead More...

XX Islands Vid Just Bent My Brain

Frank — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 03:48:19 +0100

I just caught these guys this last weekend in Oakland and once again, they blew my mind. The live show is a completely hypnotic experience that I highly suggest. Watching the video for Islands totally reinforces the feeling you get at a live show. Prepare to pleasantly zone out for a few minutes.

Sev Samples Presents, "Breakup" The Mix Tape series VOL. 3

ipzo — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 07:00:31 +0100

It's 2010 and when so many thought that hip hop had completely sold out we see hip hop evolve.

"Beats are everything these day's it's all about the sample and the break, how's the build up? and does the beat progress? With the internet interlinking the world today it's easy to explore other musical arenas without any worries, music's free everywhere so take advantage and give back."
