Mistabishi - Printer Jam (Video)



If you've never seen Mistabishi's Printer Jam video it's pretty innovative and unusual. I'm not that big on music videos but this one is interesting from the standpoint that people are starting to make 3D printers out of some of these old printers. While that's not the case in this video (it's just special effects), it's almost a reflection of what's going on in the hardware hacking/hobby market.

This evening I found an interesting creative commons music site located at http://ccmixter.org/. It looks like there are a lot of great music remixes here.

Tigarah - Space Travel

Tigarah - Space Travel

I must have sifted through dozens of artists and songs before I got to Tigarah's Space Travel. A lot of music on Jamendo and other sites are electronic noise. There's a certain bit of noise in Space Travel, but it's also got a nice slick disco beat to it that makes it a lot more interesting than most of the noise floating around sites like Jamendo. I didn't pay much attention to the vocals, the sound is neat enough that I just used it as background noise while working on other things. Sadly this appears to be the only thing Tigarah has released. I'll be sure to report if something new comes along from this interesting artist.

Burning Babylon

Burning Babylon : Sproing-A-Dub

When looking for a tunes I might be able to cut from for the start and end of Tech Data one of the groups I came across was Burning Babylon. I'm not a big fan of electronic music unless it includes some vocals.

Sproing-A-Dub from Beat, Beat, Beat doesn't have a lot of vocals, but the mix of reggae-like vocals with electronic beats is interesting.
