Beeing on a workshop in a place where people usually go on holiday is a strange thing. While other people do this .. (the left outer building on the picture is actually a conference building)
... we're hacking robots and their simulators ...
At least the robot is cute and has fun ;)
Greets from Liguria, and the expected holidays that turned into a coding marathon. P.S.: I'll make a separate post later on the new album of The Herbaliser. ... MORE
of a song better known as a cover version - muscular shirt-avoiding ex-junkie Iggy Pop, now four years off qualifying for free travel on the bus, took this into the Top Ten at the start of 1987, but this is the original, from Sun Records in about 1959 (all one minute 54 seconds of it), by racist paedophilic hell-raiser, and maker of some of the most exciting records ever, MISTER JERRY LEE LEWIS
Here's two more Wondermints' gems... The first is a song that would fit PERFECTLY on either "Smile" or "Pet Sounds"... it's THAT good. "Tracy Hide" features lush harmonies and pristine production. I'll follow it up with another pop knockout (in the comments) "Proto Pretty." Check 'em out
I'm fond of mid sixties-early seventies psychedelica. Especially as practiced by the British Band. And although Andwellas Dream hailed from Ireland, they produced one of the greats in the Genre with Love and Poetry. Its available now on CD and its well worth it. It has aged well. They could have called this track I Am The Felix, goo goo g'jube
Its time to make it right. every day there seems to be one more young life taken away because of stupidness. I am a mother of a teenage boy, need I say more... What seems to be lacking is some Bob Marley lyrics, this track is from an album which revamped some of Bobs music- I think it works.. the Marleys have remixed the original tracks, adding hip-hop beats, and then a rap from a guest artist. it came out 1999.
This is the first of two posts on LA's premier pop band, The Wondermints. Brian Wilson is famously quoted as having said that if the Wondermints were his band back in 1967, he would have finished the legendary "Smile" album. As it turns out, the members of The Wondermints DID help him finallly complete the great unfinished pop masterpiece. I'm going to post four of their songs... if you're a fan of shimmering melodies and perfect vocal arrangements give 'em a listen... MORE
This game has been described as a social icebreaker, a "level playing field" game for young and old, or something very elementary. It's that grade school favorite, Musical Chairs, this time rendered as a Jazz piece for piano and synthesizer. One variant didn't need music, just some fruity names. Small groups ("Pears," "Bananas," "Apples") got to circle the chairs, unless a smart aleck called "Fruit basket!" in which everyone scrambled for a vacant chair.
Can one simulate roller coaster highs and lows with just a piano and a synthesizer? Billy Barber tries his best to put us in the Summer hot seat with this lively track. Or does this music go better with a metal 'coaster?
I was looking over the Friday posts, when the urge to look skyward came over me. For Something Completely Different, the Way Back Machine has been set to 1986. Back then there was an Jazz AM station in Honolulu, and a track that got regular play popped up one evening on TV during a "signal lost" segment. I wonder if "Uncle Martin" heard this piano+synthesizer track on Radio Phobos?
