Last.fm no longer Free for iPhones & Mobile devices

Curse the day when you must pay and subscribe for last.fm. You now have the unpriviledge to pay $3 a month for streaming, ad-free tunes. I think I am going to be streaming my own mp3s from my iPhone from now on, or resorting to Pandora if I want to hear fresh tunes, although I...

Merry Christmas from mox&fodder! For our last monthly playlist this year, we let you dip your feet in the musical snow in all its conditions–from a blizzard to light snowfall.

Environmental Typography in Motion with Softlightes and Kris Moyes

This great stop-motion music video for the song “Heart Made of Sound” is a delightful pairing of music with the lyrics visually composing the music video visuals. It is a synchronized animation of type and other animated effects, like the drum-beat paper toss introduction. The music is charming. The singer has got a voice similar...
"All Day" mixed review of Girl Talk

“All Day” mixed review of Girl Talk

The illegal music sampling of Gregg Gillis has continued. The new e-mix came out this month and I was able to throw my ears at it on its day of release despite the slammed computer servers. Girl Talk now has mirror downloads that should let anybody have a listen to his album-length of recomposed pop...

October Playlist: Tardy Jams

This is coming out a bit later than expected. But imagine you are positioned in time by four days ago. The tone this month would elicit dancing in the midst a hurricane, then suddenly choking on your favorite candybar from hyperactivity. And here goes: October Playlist by mox&fodder There was an error this month! Sorry...

Coincidental Rap: T-Pain Soundalikes Snatching People Up

“Obviously,” the infamous autotune digitally enhances the musical qualities of sound, and the Gregory Brothers invaded Youtube with it. Auto-tuning is most effective for transforming voices into electronic singers, but it could be used for anything, such as a national news segment of Antoine Dodson’s account of a rapist in Lincoln Park. The autotune effect...

Computer Science meets Motion Design

Something Cool is going on in the brotherhood of technology and graphic design: collecting 3D information from single plane images by mapping the dimension for movement. Other projects from the same team have come up with a multi-screen sync for iphones that align next to each other to create a single larger viewing area. And...
Review of Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs"

Review of Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs”

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Arcade Fire’s 2010 album, The Suburbs, is a truly delightful piece of musical drama.  It takes the band in a refreshing direction by leaving out the orchestration that was evident in Neon Bible. While Neon Bible had a power to it, the newest album steers in a more melancholic direction,...

CoCoRosie gets Daytrottered

Shuffle on over to Daytrotter to download some fabulous recordings of CoCoRosie. Their refreshing tune to listen to first is the mis-titled track “R.I.P. Burnface” which is really the beautiful “Lemonade.” Often times CoCoRosie gets slammed as a worse version of Bjork. I don’t usually care for Björk, so the argument doesn’t stick. I would...

Lykke Li Trumps on Live Street Performances

It’s not often that an artist can jingle a chain necklace against the floor and somehow turn it into a tune, yet that is exactly what Lykke Li does.  Whether she is jamming with Bon Iver in a park or getting her groove on in the back of a cab, she never disappoints. She manages...
