The Mother of the Mp3

At the NYT, two-hit wonder (by her own admission) Suzanne Vega blogs about how her song "Tom's Diner" came to be used in the refinement of a certain audio compression algorithm now called the mp3.

Oklahoma Rocks

So. . . the state of Oklahoma is going to have an official rock song?

Here's Resolution 1047 if you don't believe me.

We've got plenty of friends in Oklahoma. How come none of you guys told us about this?

Buchla + LensBaby

I don't know what I like more about this video, the sounds of the Buchla Music Easel or the look of 16:9 720p High Definition format shot using a Letus35 Extreme and a 35mm LensBaby 3GPL! Awesomeness all around.

Music From Our Faces

charles — Mon, 12 May 2008 09:56:00 -0500

In yet another attempt to squeeze entertainment from our celebrated Sleeve Face gallery, here's some select tracks that we've faithfully transfered from the vinyl discs that we found hiding within the cardboard, record sleeves that we held in front of our faces.

Put more simply, here's the music from the Sleeve Faces:

I Pity The Fool Who Forgets Mother's Day

An early and extremely catchy reminder - Mother's Day is next Sunday, May 11.

R.E.M. Earworm

charles — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 09:10:00 -0500

Finally, after four days straight, the new R.E.M. song is NOT playing in my head. Particularly the chorus of the new R.E.M. song, Supernatural Superserious (Album Version). I think it is Mike Mills' background vocals that make this thing so sticky.

What follows in a blockquote reenactment of the aforementioned chorus. I'd link to an mp3 BUT then you'd have the same trouble as me.

Stipe: And you cried and you cried,

Mills: Ahh ahh AHH Ahh ahh. . .

Stipe: You survived, you survived.

Mills: Ahh ahh AHH Ahh ahh. . .

Stipe: Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried.

Well, the blockquote reenactment really doesn't do it justice, so follow this link if you dare.

Sweeet Home Alabama!

This is a funny time of year. Some days, posts that look real turn out to be a joke, and then things that look like a joke turn out to be real.. like this!

The Leningrad Cowboys, with the Red Army Chorus, booming out Lynyrd Skynyrd finest. Oh my, this is the perfect day-after-April-fools-day rock and roll.

Behold!

The Sound of Color

charles — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 09:10:00 -0600

Here's a little something for the synesthesia set — The Sound of Color is a project/website where 5 musicians and/or bands were instructed to write songs based on certain colors. Said songs were made into music videos and so forth and so on (artist interviews, making-of-the-video videos). Where will the content end? I say all colors bleed into one.
