Flying Lotus recording from this past Do-Over Sunday
Flying Lotus was a special guest in last Sunday's Do-Over at Crane's Hollywood Tavern. If you don't know about Do-Over, I highly recommend checking it out and RSVP.
As they put it - "a free daytime Sunday jammy complete with booze, BBQ all day long, all residing in a tropical garden atmosphere, deep in the heart of Hollywood". Booze and BBQ are not free, just free to get in. Expect sangria stains, lots of beautiful people, and dope music.
Here's Flying Lotus' recording from last week. Download
This coming Sunday, BlackJoy will be performing and other special guests.

A week ago or so I posted with a video of a belligerent bitch throwing a fit on the train and yelling soulja boy songs. Seems like the cool new thing to do these days is take videos of black people and remixing them into a legit song/vid:

David Lynch's 52 second short film
From the description:Forty international directors were asked to make a short film using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895. There were three rules:
(1) The film could be no longer than 52 seconds
(2) no synchronized sound was permitted
(3) no more than three takes
Having seen all of the results (including Spike Lee's pithy effort) Lynch's film is unquestionably the most interesting. It makes me wish he would shoot an entire film with this stock. Remember while watching that all the effects are in-camera and there is no cutting for scenes.

Resident Advisor Podcast presents Four Tet - RA.102
Resident Advisor Podcast presents Four Tet - RA.102
Excerpt:
Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden a DJ? Believe it. Hebden has been holding down a regular gig at The End for a few years now, blending current electronic music with the jazz, post-rock and various other genres that has make up his musical world. Purists take heart: Hebden’s dance music bona fides run deep. His first single, Thirtysixtwentyfive, was released on Trevor Jackson’s Output Recordings and K7 tapped him in 2006 for a DJ Kicks mix.
Like that diverse comp, Hebden’s RA podcast isn’t about clean mixing and keeping genre-splicing to a minimum. Instead, the passion is the thing: Hebden delights in combining a whole host of tracks together into a whirlwind mélange of sound, all leading up to the placid and satisfying denouement that begins with C++’s ‘Angie's Fucked’ and ends with his stunning remix of Born Ruffians’ ‘I Need a Life’. In between those two? ‘Swimmer’, a track from Hebden’s new Four Tet EP, a release that makes clear that this dance music thing is something that Hebden is excited about exploring once again. Welcome back, buddy, it’s good to see you again.

I Do Not Love Uffie!
I was listening to the Justice album today and couldnt help thinking: "Goddamn, this song with Uffie fucking suuuuuuuucccckkkksss!!!!" What fucking utter bullshit. "Lets get fresh and freaky right." No. Lets all find Uffie and remove her voicebox. Ive never heard so many inane lyrics come out of one person's mouth, in fact, she has got to be ten times worse than Vanilla Ice. And ya, she sounds cute on a few tracks, but cute as in, aww, I'd fuck her, not cute as in, ahhh, what a cute and beautiful voice she has, or something. I m gonna make my little neice a bigger star one day! Ill just say, "ok Jazzy, think of the dumbest things to say and then, pretend to rap!" You, know, just talk about your "bling, and hooking up with losers and how cool you are at the club!"
and yet...Uffie's prolly making some decent cheddar off this shit. All hail the imbecile!

Why Processing rules
This is some work done by San Francisco artist Flight404 http://www.flight404.com. It's all done in code through processing (using openGL I think). He also has some interesting discussion on his blog about his beat detection method for input into the code.
Enjoy.
