I figured this would come about soon enough but, not this soon and not this cool already. Once again Apple has burst the seams on imagination and created apps for the Iphone that emulate, for example a full keyboard, a 15 pad sampler (i.e. akai MPC style)and of course Brian Enos app that is just a simple but beautiful touch pad sequencer and sampler...No idea on how limited these apps are because I don't own an Iphone but I have a friend...who has one..who will let me do stuff with it...i think..
Another recent death in the annals of history, singer Mary Travers,from the group Peter,Paul and Mary has died from leukemia. Peter, Paul and Mary recorded hits still recognized now, including "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." They performed together for nearly 50 years, winning five Grammys and releasing 13 Top 40 hits, six of them in the Top 10 charts. Sad to say this but once again people make their mark on this earth and quietly exit.
Movie to watch on a another rainy day....
Shiftless and lazy characters that are training to become PRIDE fighters haphazzardly stumble onto the next zombie apocolypse and blunder their way through many situations which to say the least are bemusing at best...The genre has definitely hit its highmark, and this movie was fun but it left me wanting more.I am positive that I will find something else out there that will renergize the zed word genre once more.
homework today..."OYE,HEAVY DOOTY!
Digging through some old stuff? No, the usual dream where I'm walking around Savannah,Ga. and this album came to mind. Benn Watt and Tracy Thorn (which I have loved since she was the lead singer of the now defunct Style Council) have made this album their bitch. Between her sweet,syrupy vocals and his perfectionists knob and sampler twiddling they have subdued this album into submission. A keen insight into the electronic scene at this point in time in London, "Walking Wounded" spares nothing for the listener; from the complex drum lines and sweeping synths that envelop you to Tracy's sad and longing voice....Perfect for this day I promise.
now fuck off, proper....
