The Daily Swarm - Watch: James Blake Owns the 9:30 Club

The Daily Swarm - Watch: James Blake Owns the 9:30 Club... in Epic Set...

With all these free concerts, who ever needs to leave home?

Also, apparently "<3" eats html alive.

Queens of the Stone Age live stream

From last night, here's an entire 2-hour show where they play their new album plus more in LA...

Chicago's "25 Or 6 To 4" Isolated Parts

via Bobby Owsinski... check out his deconstruction as well.

I love hearing isolated parts from mixes, especially from classic songs. Less editing going on, less retakes, more organic sound.

The Daft Punk Press Problem

The Daft Punk Press Problem: Nostalgia for What?

Haven't listened to the album in its entirety yet, just samples from iTunes. This is an interesting take, as well as this other article that CDM links to: Daft Punk, “Authenticity”, Classism, and Kids Growing Up

Simpsons Robot Chicken Couch gag

I thought this was pretty good:

Epic bat flip fail

Can't stop watching this... it's too funny.

I love how the first baseman from the other team comforts the guy... Also the tone of the announcer's voice says everything... no translation needed.

More new QOTSA - "Keep Your Eyes Peeled"

Another awesome & gruesome animated clip from the forthcoming Queens of the Stone Age record... I don't dig this as much as the first couple songs I've heard, but I'll let it grow on me. Sounds a bit like second half of Era Vulgaris type stuff.

Don't figure this one getting much radio play. Actually listening to it again just now I'm really liking the sound and the production. This clip is 3 minutes but on the album this is the opening track and it comes in at 5 minutes.

It's been six years since their last record and I cannot fucking wait!

New Michael J Fox show trailer

This... actually looks pretty awesome. So meta it could be in danger of eating its own tail though.

I hope it does well. Plus, Bunk is back!

Holy Ghost - "Dumb Disco Ideas"

The heirs apparent to LCD Soundsystem come in with a new single... very DFA-records sounding. Cool video too, if you can watch YouTube for 8 minutes.

On the 'dangers' of salt.

26 Eno albums at once, 500x speed

Not sure why anyone would do this, but here it is:

Of course I'm a sucker for anything Eno... Thanks to Mark for the tip.

File under humour...?

TV Feeds My Family: Arrested Development Season Four trailer

TV Feeds My Family: Arrested Development Season Four trailer: That's right, Season Four trailer. The Bluths are back and Netflix has 'em. You can start streaming all 15 episodes May 26...

Wooooooooooooooo!

I hope they didn't put all the money clips into the trailer... then again there's a whole season coming out at once so we can be pretty sure there's lots more where that came from.

Trailer sounds like it was mixed in the editing program... I *would* notice that sort of thing though.

Downloading Ethics

Check out my friend Ian's masters survey about the ethics of downloading media content.

I helped out on set by pointing microphones at people.

New QOTSA

New video clip from the forthcoming album from Queens of the Stone Age, Like Clockwork.. video starts right away so turn up your speakers.
