I mentioned this youtube collection below but I figured that I’d go ahead and reproduce it here. It’s really fun to play around with. I’ve been listening to them one at a time too, practically endless combos of noodling in B flat.
Here is the link to the page, copied from their website, the html is below.

Just a couple of things for funsies today. First being this sweet video that came out almost exactly one year ago for NYC hip-hop duo Das Racist’s “Who’d That? Brooown!” This video was clearly made by New Yorkers for New Yorkers - hmmm maybe FNYBNY is a potential brand name. It is my opinion that Das Racist are some of the most creative rappers on the scene right now,...

NPR has become the site for official streaming links. Hypemachine also does a good job oof putting out B and C string indie and electro albums, but when it comes to the creme de la indie, which is really the nu-mainstream, NPR has been front and center with streaming versions of this years most anticipated releases well in advance of the in-store date, a date which has obviously become more and...

Customer Appreciation Day

One time I was reading at a starbucks and some guys next to me were talking about models that they hook up with. On e dude said that “back in the 90s there were all these Estonian models I’d hook up with and they were gorgeous with their fake tits and yada yada yada,” then his interlocutor cut him off, incredulously interjecting, “Models? With fake tits?” to which...

Most people in music journalism that I read seem to be over dubstep. Carles at Hipster Runoff has been taking the piss out of it for a while now. Back in Atlanta, friends who were loyal to the genre now lament that entire fraternities show up to the clubs seeking only the dubbiest of steps. Even some of the genres own practitioners are acknowledging the backlash, in this interview from January...

Film asks questions and seeks truth.
Pretty much any movie I can think of, perhaps any piece of art for that matter, offers a question to the audience for its evaluation. The plot, the characters, they’re all submitted to our scrutiny, to seee if it apprximates life as we know it. We can agree or disagree on these things and that’s what gives each person their own taste.
