What I’m Listening To (and other stuff)

    I have a new idea! It’s tentatively called Genre of the Month. It’s where I focus on a particular genre, and post albums I enjoy from that genre. I don’t have a genre for this month picked yet, so it’ll probably start at the end of this month or the start of the next month. If you have any suggestions contact me.

I just picked this album up the other day. It’s brilliant. Ziggy builds upon his father’s sound, making it his own, and very similar at the same time. This CD version includes a bonus track “Weh A Guh Some Weh”.

Sorry about it being a torrent link, it was the only link i could find.

I love this album. It is so amazing. Greatest mash-up album ever. Period.

Gregg Gillis has been cutting up and gluing bits and pieces of songs together as a DJ in Pittsburgh since his 2002 debut, Secret Diary, an album that, though a lot of easily identifiable samples (the Price Is Right theme, for example) were used, was so delayed and skipped and glitched that it was too obfuscated to do much in the mainstream. Such is not the case with Night Ripper, however, which, thanks to Gillis’s ability to draw from a myriad of musical sources (the names of the artists used, though not their songs, are listed in alphabetical order inside the liner notes, and in fact make up the entirety of the liner notes), can appeal to anyone who’s heard the radio (particularly rap radio) in the past few years. Because of the recognizability of the pieces used, Night Ripper is a good tool for showing listeners unfamiliar with the art of sampling what a talented DJ can actually do; Gillis‘ favorite trick on the album is to play a long vocal track, preferably something from the Ying Yang Twins or Ludacris, over rock (be it classic, indie, or grunge) beats, which he speeds up or slows down as necessary. It’s pretty impressive, and at first listen, it’s pretty fun. On the opener, “Once Again,” Luda’s “Pimpin’ All Over the World” moves into the Twins‘ “Wait (The Whisper Song)” over the Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony,” which then turns into Slim Thug’s “I Ain’t Heard of That” plus the acoustic guitar of Oasis’s “Wonderwall,” all of which ends with the Five Stairsteps‘ oft-sampled “O-o-h Child.” Actually, “ends” is not really the right term, as the whole album works as one piece, the track titles only serving to help those more song-inclined not feel as if they are in foreign electronica territory, with its 50-minute sides and incomprehensible blips and bleeps. The thing is, this openness to pop culture, while it may increase and amuse his audience, also serves to make the album a fleeting affair. How many times do you really want to hear Fleetwood Mac’s “Little Lies” trade off with the 69 Boyz’s “Tootsie Roll?” Or Sophie B. Hawkins mix with Panjabi MC and Better Than Ezra while the Game’s vocals from “Hate It or Love It” play over? The very thing that makes Night Ripper entertaining, its basis on current hits and long pop-song breaks, is also the thing that kills it, that makes it lose its appeal after a few spins; good for one party, one car trip, one afternoon at the beach, and that’s all. Which isn’t to say, however, that that one hour can’t be a whole lot of fun.

This is one of my personal favorite albums. True to form, Hüsker Dü churns out punk riffs, hard hitting drums, and melodic vocals. This album is essential for any fan of bands like Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, R.E.M. or any bands like those.

Here it is!

Well, when I heard that name, I thought to myself,”What the heck is that?” Turns out, Its amazing. Now, what could be so amazing? I give you Rasterbator!

http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

Well, what is Rasterbator? It is an algorithm-based program, that takes an image that you upload, stretches it out, rasterizes it so it becomes a series of dots, like those dot-paintings (I forget what they are called). Then it creates a .pdf file, and you can print out the image on several sheets of paper. It says that you can make them up to 20 meters in width!

I made one of a tree, it’s a small 4×2 (you can customize the size). Oh and by the way, the default dot size is 10 MM. You have to be approximately 15 feet away to be able to see it clearly. I recommend setting it for 2.5 mm, so you don’t have to be so far away to see clearly. It will say that it will take longer to rasterize, but it took only about 6 seconds longer.

Share what you do in the gallery at its site!

This is album (if you can call it that) is one of my all time favorites. It is more of a single than anything else, but it follows in the tradition of synthpunk bands only having a few songs per album.

Here you go. All 2 tracks.

A1: Warm moving bodies
B1: I-night

Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey is a documentary by anthropologist Sam Dunn, about the culture and people of heavy metal.

I recently saw and downloaded this, and let me tell you, it was impressive. It not only covered all the basic facts of heavy metal like most documentaries, it went in depth and interviewed not only its heroes, but the fans as well. It is a great watch for any fan of metal, or someone looking to discover more, or learn about it for the first time.

Here’s it’s IMDb (Internet Movie Database) page:

Oh, and here’s something I found interesting:

if you would like the torrent link I can provide it for you.

Yes, this is the soundtrack from the famed Charlie Brown classics. There was another disc, but the file was dead. Nonetheless, this is a collection of some of well-loved compositions from all the Charlie Brown shows except from the Christmas one which has its own album. Now when I say compositions, I mean jazz compositions, not classical compositions.

So here you go, enjoy!
