i use my Monotron all the time, i use the iElectribe app and have drooled over the hardware for years. i opened my iMS20 app the other day and there was a cryptic message that alluded to a new hardware hybrid. oh and there have been rumblings about this for the past couple of weeks. “top secret” kinda stuff. now here it is! the Monotribe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A name so not clever that it seemed to be an inter-hoax. its real though, unveiled yesterday at this year’s Frankfurt Musikmesse. when does it come out? How much will it be? i want it so bad.
here is a write up about the features and some vids at CDM
this kid is like ferdinand the bull, lambert the lion, and dustin hoffman in straw dogs. he gets pushed, picked on, punched all by some scrawny lil twat and his goons. then the bullied kid, Casey Heynes decided he’s had enough and does something that is physically poetic. i hope that lil sniveler had some long-lasting damage after this. i know that sounds bad but he just seems like the worst kinda kid.
here they are. two new joints from raleigh’s mysterious electronic outfit ms. seafood. listen to them. love them. distribute them.
some friends and i watched this last night after ms. seafood practice. this is the best video ever made. i effin’ love of it.
if you have not seen it in a while watch it again. if you have never seen it before then prepare yourself for an epic ten minute voyage into beautiful absurdity.
okay so last night i went to see Neil Hamburger. It was great. i have never seen him perform before, so it was a real treat to hear him interact with the audience. last night i saw something else for the first time too. a fellow by the name of JP Incorporated performed, and blew my mind. his persona is that of a pitch man. the audience becomes a focus group who test screens advertisements and tv show themes for a fictitious ad agency. he performs dressed in a grey wig, a fake grey beard, and in an elbow padded grey blazer. JP Incorporated is a combination of a video screen showing his ads and him singing the jingles. last night was hilarious. Great Night!
Vodpod videos no longer available.
this is a great cover of Joy Division’s “She’s Lost Control,” by progressive African musician Spoek Mathambo. the video was directed by the awesome South African photographer Pieter Hugo.
im not sure what to think of this video. keep an eye out for the llama, it’s probably the best.

so i recently heard this band The Soft Moon, and they are really good. I just saw this video of an Hans Richter film piece with a song from The Soft Moon accompanying it. it is really cool. enjoy.
