The guys from LICHTFAKTOR amaze me. They explore the area of lightwriting in new and innovative ways. Like the above, they produced a few short films, and as they say it “the crew intentionally uses the entire space in which a particular work is produced and integrates it into their photos and animated films in such a way that it’s not just a backdrop but a part of the work itself.” Killer.

Their latest work is the album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” recorded in Paris by Cassius’s Philippe Zdar who co-produced and mixed the album.
Was wondering when this will hit the airwaves / tv stations. MSTRKRFT live with J. Legend. Not too shabby I say. Nice to see the boys in action specially Mr. Moustache.

Its a sad day.
The King of Pop is dead at 50. The man who single handedly revolutionized pop died yesterday, after reportedly falling ill. Mentioned as an influence to other countless musicians, Michael Jackson leaves behind about 750 million albums worldwide, three children and a legacy which can be compared to no other in the industry.
Another icon, whose passing away should not be outshined by MJ’s, is Farrah Fawcett. The ‘Charlie’s Angel’ and multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee lost her long battle to cancer yesterday.
Rest in peace.
The more I use the almighty web, the more I realise there’s a whole lotta bunch of people with way too much time on their hands. While looking around for what might be my next guitar (something I need like a hole in my forehead…) I came a across a couple of the most ‘interesting’ guitars ever produced. Most, if not all, are just one-offs, and a few are not even functional. While some are just plain crap ugly, some are interesting and worth the time they took to produce.
The Black Lego model kicks ass, but my favourite HAS to be the Mannequin Guitar. The web is full of images of such guitars, give it a google and enjoy.
I wanted to post the psychedelic video of Raindrops by the Basement Jaxx because its so trippy it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I came across this one instead. Things people do when they’re bored.
Here’s the artistic version.
Andrew Bird is one hell of a talented man. Known to be musically proficient at the violin, whistling, guitar, mandolin, and glockenspiel, as well as being a singer songwriter. There are two aspects to any band/songwriter that help me decide how much I like them, the live act and the songwriting. Bird has got both but find he excels when confronted with an audience. With his complicated looping methods, proving that he really is a multi-instrumentalist and showing us all how one can be good enough at whistling to have it considered an instrument Bird has won me over.
