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… Continue reading Last.fm no longer Free for iPhones & Mobile devices

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… Continue reading Environmental Typography in Motion with Softlightes and Kris Moyes
“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… Continue reading “All Day” mixed review of Girl Talk
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… Continue reading October Playlist: Tardy Jams
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… Continue reading Coincidental Rap: T-Pain Soundalikes Snatching People Up
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… Continue reading Computer Science meets Motion Design
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,… Continue reading Review of Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs”
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… Continue reading CoCoRosie gets Daytrottered
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… Continue reading Lykke Li Trumps on Live Street Performances
