tune in: Rock Band 3

To all you music gaming enthusiasts that have blistered your fingers and have wasted countless hours of your time rocking out with a plastic guitar controller with no knowledge of chords at all, you now have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument.  Or at least get the feel of it.

Harmonix has now released Rock Band 3 with a 2-octave Wireless Keyboard Controller in keytar form factor.

Kicks Went Wrong!

Today I felt in the mood for a sneaker post. Ain't nothing else to it.
But let's take a break from all those dope-ass mouth-watering head-turning drops,
...and look at the other side of the fence.

Here are some of the kicks that went terribly wrong:
(no offense to those who own a pair, or god forbid...two)

NIKE SHOX TL (there IS such a thing as "too much")

tune in: mad men make music

It has been said that there is a fine line between genius and insanity. 

After taking a look at these insanely intuitive notations, I believe there is some truth to that statement.

Can you play these? (click on the pic to enlarge):

BREAKBOT - Baby I'm Yours (ft. Irfane)

Just decided to leave you all with something before I go off to a gig at Pampanga and a roadtrip to La Union for the long weekend.

Breakbot aka Thibaut Berland is a French producer and DJ1. After studying at the School of Graphic Supinfocom, he made short films (with Oury Atlan and Damien Ferrié called Overtime), advertising and videos (David Hallyday - Satellite, Peter von Poehl - The Story of the Impossible).

In may 2009 he was signed by Ed Banger Records.

Don't you just love it when good songs have equally good videos?
This one pretty much nailed it.

Let's disco.

Urban Ears & Eye Candy

Before we get into today's post, here's a little album update for ya'll:
Just spent a couple of hours in the (newly painted/furnished/arranged) SecondStorySound lab last night with Tibbz to lay down vocals for 3 new songs.

It's always dope how we experiment with different ways to record, even try several "routines" just to change-up the feel and hopefully hit the mark we want. And i think it's always good to keep "takes" at a minimum because if you can't get it in three, then lay it down some other time.

And sometimes...the first turns out to be the best.

Anyway, keep your ears to the ground folks. We hope you love what we're cooking up...

Now. On to today's topic.
Urbanears is a collective out of Scandinavia, that promotes deep connections to color, form and people while transcending individuality and unifying the sound experience. (taken from their website: http://www.urbanears.com/)

I was particularly amazed at how they showcased their headphones catalog. Not only do the earpieces seem very simple, functional, and with the right touch of funk, but they laid them out in very beautifully art-directed layouts. Check check:



























(of course, i have no idea how these sound so i can't comment on performance)

But they are visually dope.
Not like this schizophrenic weather were dealing with.
