Rihanna decided to pay homage to late rapper Tupac Shakur in the most predictable of ways – by getting a tattoo. However, where she got is what’s shocking. Earlier today, the racy performer Tweeted a picture where it showed that she’d gotten the words ‘THUG LIFE‘ inked in white across her knuckles. Find out what the singer had to say about her new tattoo.
ACIDIC is not “just another young rock band.” Though they may look it, their music phenomenally surpassed my expectations and the music being created by those around them. The four piece alternative rock band hails from Los Angeles, and lists their influences ranging from Motley Crue to Queen. They look like a group of angsty teenagers taking out their high school tribulations on their pricey sound systems, but when I turned on the single “Maybe”, off of their new album Getting Lucky, I realized how wrong my initial judgments were…
Talk about CREEPY. We just happened to stumble upon the most bizarre mash-up of visuals and sounds we may have ever posted for our video of the day. Now, we all know who Louis Armstrong is right? (If not, he should really become a part of your music collection.)
He’s mostly known for the beautiful song, “What A Wonderful World,” which is played in really sappy moments of TV shows and movies – yet we still love it. We continue to love it because Armstrong had a unique voice, a very smart way of approaching songwriting, and he is one of the biggest staples in Jazz and New Orleans music. However, what we found is far from what we know about Mr. Armstrong.
Every once in a while, we bring up some social or political issues here. This might not be totally music related, but it relates to the radio so there is a connection. MSNBC’s Ed Schultz has been calling for the “Fairness Doctrine,” which has been called the “socialization” of U.S. radio. The hope is that the programing on the radio, and the opinions on it, are balanced between the Democrats and the Republicans. Currently, the Republicans have a greater hold over talk radio and Ed Schultz doesn’t like it one bit. However, the Democrats have a much larger hold over the cable network news stations. Recently, Ed Schultz called for the reform of radio in the U.S. to fight the Republican agenda… Continue Reading
Flash Mob (or Flash Bomb) dance troupes are showing up everywhere! The first we took notice of was the intricate dance to Sound of Music’s “Do Re Mi” at Central Station in Belgium. Now a Swedish dance troupe is performing their Michael Jackson tribute to “Beat It” at various times and places. The Michael Jackson tribute dance isn’t as long but there are more people involved in it which make quite the sight to see if you’re there in person. Plus, “Beat It” will always be a bad ass song. THEN – there’s the Hammer Dance flash mob which takes place in a trendy store surprising skinny jean shoppers.
What we want to know is: Which one would you have been more stoked to see live? The Sound of Music dance that involved all ages, the Michael Jackson tribute with tons of surprising Swedish dancers, or do you enjoy the MC Hammer ambush all in gold pants? Check them out and vote to let us know!
Are you shocked? Do you remember the Walkman? For those of you born in the 90′s, do you even know what a Walkman is?
According to leading gadget magazine, T3 Magazine, the Walkman beat out CDs and the iPod despite its awkward clunky size. Why? T3′s Kat Hanniford’s answer was: “It changed the way we access music, changed how often we could access music, and changed a generation.” That’s true. Before the Walkman, music fanatics either had to stay in one place for a stereo system or lug a huge boom box on top of their shoulders.
The MP3 digital music format came second in the list, the iPod music player, which apparently would be impossible without the pioneering work of Sony’s Walkman, came in third. Check the full list out below!
The occurrence has already been penned as an “epic moment of music festival history.” A couple was caught making love in front of thousands of people at Sasquatch Music Festival 2009 during The Decemberists’ set on top of a hill while the sun sets and creates a passionate unforgettable teen spirit vibe. One pervert decided to tape it, and I can’t say that I blame him or her. The incident is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen especially when the band even starts to take notice and the security guards look like they’re not sure if they should interrupt.
What was this couple thinking? Well, I guess they weren’t thinking because they seemed to be too caught up in the moment. What are your thoughts? Let us know by voting below!
What the hell has been going on with Weezer lately? Rivers Cuomo has always been a quirky guy and I loved him for it when Weezer was definitely killing it back in the day. But now… He’s talking up a “Wuggie?” Don’t know what a Wuggie is? Well according to Rolling Stone, Cuomo says, “A Wuggie is basically exactly like a Snuggie, except it says Weezer on it. The people at Snuggie are doing it with us and promoting it with us. It’s a totally legit Snuggie.”
I always thought Snuggies were for people who were too incompetent to use a regular blanket or incapable of putting on a sweater. Also, wearing something silly to be ironic isn’t ironic. It’s just silly. However, I suppose if you’re a lover of Weezer and late night infomercials, the “Wuggie” is a treat… Vote to let us know what you think. Seriously.
Loading ...Video Jockeys, those who combine audio and visuals in real-time, are an integral part of music culture, by using coordinated media in unique ways to form impressions. Lasal based the video above on the Aristid Lindenmayer L-system, used for plant modeling, and synchronized it to his own sound design.
The fractal he generated seems to augment the complexity of the audio, and yet its reactions to the sounds allow us to grasp the sum of the creation’s parts. There’s another video after the cut, this time with geometric figures to a slow downtempo:
