Ticket Collection Gem: Radiohead

Had to drive to St. Louis, but it was PIT for Radiohead in 2003.  Best $42.50 I've spent in my life so far.

Last.fm's Most Unwanted, AKA Guilty Pleasures

Here is a little something from the ol' data warehouse. Last.fm's list of most REMOVED tracks from its user's scrobbles. These are clearly songs that people love, but are embarrassed to have their friends see.

MSA Remote + VDMX + Ableton Live

via vimeo.com

"MSA Remote is a remote control application for iPhone & iPod Touch that sends OSC messages over the wifi network. This allows you to control any OSC supporting applications such as Max/MSP/Jitter, PureData, Reaktor, VDMX, vvvv, Resolume, Quartz Composer etc."

and also
"You can see MSA Remote controlling a Java fluid simulation at vimeo.com/3975324"

I have nothing to add- these videos speak for themselves. Extremely impressed.

TMBG on Unicorns, Angels, and Elves

I just purchased the latest They Might Be Giants album and started listening to the fist song and the lyrics are fantastic...

Science is real, from the big bang to DNA
Science is real, from evolution to the milky way
I like those stories about angels unicorns and elves
Now i like those stories as much as anyone else
But when I'm seeking knowledge either simple or abstract
The facts are with science

Its interesting that it is getting some religious people quite upset (surprise!). The main complaint seems to be around the fact that this is a children's album. And apparently teaching your children science is BAD, or at least is ok if you teach the-bible-as-fact on equal footing (a thing I believe MOST reasonable religious people understand is not the case). Anyhow - lets raise our glasses to a new Age of Reason, where hopefully people will (at a minimum) evaluate their personal mythos as such. I'll start holding my breath... now.
