Gameboy Music (not how you’d imagine)

Nice percussive piece made with a Gameboy. Not hacking the Gameboy, mind you, but making use of its percussive (mostly) elements.

Korg Monotribe

Now that’s some nasty analog fun.

Speaking of good music

I came across a group in my Pandora.com browsing last week you should be aware of. The Avalances is everything about live vinyl turntableism that you want. Equal parts rev you up and chill you out, their 2000 release “Since I Left You” has been in rotation on my iPhone for a solid week.

Standout tracks include;
Flight Time
Close to You
Electricity
Frontier Psychiatrist
ETOH

Great Star Wars photography

I love everything on this guy’s Flickr page. That snow texture… awesome.

Radiohead, The King of Limbs

Radiohead, The King of Limbs

I’m still personally resolving whether I like or dislike the new Radiohead album The King of Limbs. It feels uniform from track to track, but ironically scattered in its playing style. There’s definitely the feel of the drone, and Thom Yorke’s vocals are as falsetto as ever. The drums feel more shuffly (if that’s a word) than ever, almost frentic at times. I still wish for more of those arena-scaled rock moment of past albums, the anthem level tracks.

If you’re a die hard Radiohead fan you’ve probably already picked it up.

Tracks that have gotten a 5-star rating on my iPod;

Lego ornaments

Two of my favorite things, Lego and Christmas, combine together on this Flickr page. Awesome. And to take it up a notch, here are some directions on how to create your own Star Wars Death Star ornament.

So, think of all the awesome that combines to form this amazing feat. Lego, awesome. D.I.Y., awesome. Christmas, awesome. And Star Wars, awesome.
