Bootsy lays it out for you.

Some people are using classical music as a deterrent. It seems like they could find better music to drive people away. I’m betting this would send people running. Unless they were me.

Come to think of it, maybe this is the thing get rid of the undesirables hanging [...]

Many moons ago, I posted about a website that lets you vote on new music. This week I bring you another, slicker version of the same idea. I feel like this or a site similar to it will take off eventually. It solves a couple problems. The first problem is where [...]
बात एक
I can’t figure out if that’s a Brooklyn hipster having a laugh or whether it’s a Tamil with a genuine concern. In any event, it goes on for a couple minutes too long.
बात दो
Include fine penmanship among Slash’s attributes.

It will probably surprise nobody that Joe Stack was in a band. If [...]
Chose Un
The usual internet trawling has brought me to this series at Mix magazine. It’s a series about the way some classic songs were made. One of my favorites was “Stayin’ Alive”, which, because of various problems, features a drum loop from “Night Fever.”
Chose Deux
Hey look, it’s some videos of [...]
Last week I drove to Austin to see The Residents at Stubb’s. This post is not about that show, but I will say that I expected it to be really lame and was pleasantly surprised at how interestingly creepy it was (and if you’re wondering, there were no eyeball costumes). Instead, this post [...]

This seems to be some kind of Ali G-like put on. And yet it doesn’t really matter.

More musical birds.

It appears that Men at Work have lost their plagiarism case. I really don’t hear it.

Remember that girl who lip-synched at the Olympics a couple years ago? Well, apparently the Chinese government has made lip synching illegal and is looking to stick her and the actual singer with a $12,000 ex post facto fine.

Here’s a new cover song. I recorded this one [...]

We recently learned that Brian Eno is no longer into electronic instruments. This week we learn that he’s in a gospel choir.

I recorded another requested cover song this week. This time it was recorded entirely on my phone, using the MultiTrack iPhone app and the phone’s own microphone. [...]

I’m a sucker for fantastical instruments. Here is a 1939 model Hammond Novachord:
And here is George H.W. Bush’s least favorite instrument:

M.I.A. continues her career of insightful music by writing a song about a tech support call. Filipino tech support representatives aren’t exactly Tamil Tigers, so maybe Ms. A should just relax and have [...]
Cosa Uno
I want to be upfront here: I don’t understand Lady Gaga. This morning I woke up to somebody outside my window singing along horribly with “Bad Romance,” which is, admittedly, the only song that I could hope to identify as a Lady Gaga song. Which is not to say that I haven’t heard [...]
