Mike Bost has had enough
Too bad there aren't more like him who actually care about what they're doing.

Bryan Raydio - Oscilliscape
...aaaand here's the "video" for the title track. It's a re-hash of the old one I posted a couple years ago, but I've switched the audio. Just there so I have it on YouTube. The second video is done, and I'll be uploading it in a bit, so it'll either be up here later tonight or by tomorrow morning.

Bryan Raydio - Oscilliscape EP
Let's try this again. I kinda released this one a couple years ago, but didn't like how it sounded and truth be told didn't really have a handle on the mixing and mastering side of things. After spending a lot of time learning new tricks and some proper skills, I think I'm a bit closer now. Enough to re-release this EP anyway. You can preview each track on Soundcloud, download the individual tracks from there, or download the whole EP from the link below. Enjoy.

Inside The Actors Studio - Dave Chappelle
I've been busy for the last few days. Busy doing not much, for the most part. Thankfully I've managed to sneak in a few hours on my own stuff, and with a little luck I'll have a finished original EP for you tomorrow. In the meantime check out my favorite episode of this series, it inspired me and hopefully it will inspire you too.

Glimmermen - Travellin' Man
From Ireland come these fine gentlemen. They need to work on their recording quality, but I like their off-beat style.
Rival Sons - Face Of Light
Yup, these guys definitely have that classic Zeppelin-esque rock feel to them, but damn it they're good. Check out their latest offering.
Estonian Dance Session
The crowd is pretty dull and I wasn't diggin' the hype man, but those are some slick moves. Reminds me of the good ol' days of Roxy Blu in Toronto. Awesome club with amazing dancers every night.

Sébastien Tellier - Cochon Ville
Last one for today, as promised here's the second crazy video from Monsieur Tellier. WARNING: Extremely sexually suggestive and packed with nudity. Directed by madman Alex Courtès.
Young Liars - Colours
This is a bit more indie than I usually post, but I like the electronic components. Hey, it's catchy, what can I say.
Master of Lightning
Now I bet you're wondering, who's Nikola Tesla? Here, check this out. He's pretty damn cool.
Alex Jones vs Justin Bieber
This is a repost from over a year ago, but I just felt like it was worth another look/listen. Again not a big Alex Jones fan but this is an awesome edit by Fergus Breen.
The Leap
Whoa. Technological innovation is moving faaaast. I don't think I'd ever want to use this, being old fashioned and all, but still looks pretty cool for anyone who wants to feel like a jedi.
Anchorman: The Legend Continues
Back from a fun weekend, with lots of new stuffs to post! Here's the first new trailer to check out!
Friday, May 18, 2012
Sébastien Tellier - Pépito Bleu
And I'll leave you with this one, the first of Mr. Tellier's crazy new conceptual videos. I'll post the second on Monday. Enjoy your weekend!
Symphony Of Science - We Are Star Dust
The latest of the John Boswell's ongoing series of musical tributes featuring past and contemporary scientists.
The Cinematic Orchestra - Manhatta
This is actually a soundtrack for the 1921 short silent film by Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand. Gotta say they did a fantastic job. Watch the whole thing, it's worth the eleven minutes.
NOTE: For some stupid reason the film company has taken this video down. Hopefully it'll be back up shortly, I'll repost it when it is.
Club Des Belugas - All Aboard
Not an official video, but somehow it seemed somewhat fitting, and I had to fit that track in somehow.
Dr. John - Revolution
New track from the old master. Not quite his best stuff, but not too shabby. The backing band is kick-ass.
Sierra Leone's Refugee All-Stars - Kali
Some groovy African soul to start off our musical selection for the weekend.
Are we ready for the Age of Abundance?
This is almost a year old now, but still a relevant and fascinating discussion on the future of technology and its ramifications on business featuring Michio Kaku, Michael Schrage, Isabel Aguilera, and Peter Diamandis. Feel free to skip the 15 minute rambling introduction by Gabriel Byrne.
Barack Obama actually born in Kenya?
I hate to bring up this topic again, but Breitbart posted this little excerpt from a 1991 literary agency booklet. Ol' Barry's bio doesn't quite match with the one he's been touting lately. The whole story is here.
Mother elephant saves baby from drowning
Gotta love those big floppy-eared creatures. They got some big brains on 'em.
Boss Bacon Burger
Friday? How did we get to Friday already? Somehow I missed a day somewhere... Oh well here we are with the latest Epic Meal Time. Haven't watched one in a while, but I do love my burgers so I was stoked to check this out. I'm off on another adventure until Monday so here's some stuffs to keep you entertained.

DVA - Madness
No sign of acoustics here, just electronic madness. Not even sure how to describe it. Electro r&b?
Choosing the right kitchen knife
Ignore the brand advertisement and turn your audio down. Lots of great culinary info here from Alton Brown.
The Antikythera Mechanism
Just another useless piece of junk from more than 2000 years ago. You know, when people were uncivilized brutes. They couldn't possibly have known anything about complex mathematics, or mechanics, or astronomy, or...

Johannes Heil - Tryptamine
More minimal tech beats with a crazy video.
BONUS BEATS!
Claes Rosen - Into The Bloom [Luiz B Remix]
Hollis P. Monroe vs Etta James - This Is Goodbye
It's house music day. Just for fun. Let's start with this goodie.
Tim Shadbolt on 7 days
Mayor of Invercargill and local hero on a television comedy program. Wouldn't if be refreshing if we had a Canadian politician with a little charisma?

Booker T. & The MG's - Green Onions
Was on the road on Friday, and spent yesterday recovering. Been a busy weekend and I'm beat, so here's some classic southern soul to hold you over until tomorrow. This one goes out to bass player Donald "Duck" Dunn who passed away in Tokyo earlier today. This is him in action circa the mid 1960's alongside his legendary band-mates Steve Cooper on guitar, Al Jackson on drums, and Booker T. Jones on the keys.

Robotic paraplegic support unit
Since we're on the topic of robots, check out this crazy support unit for paraplegics. Technology is opening all kinds of doors for modern medicine. Bring on the future!
Surviving the Robopocalypse
Given the appearance of most of the members of the European Parliament, I would argue that the robot uprising is already here...
Nigel Farage hails the revolution
Good ol' Nige is back to his best, here's his latest epic speech from May 9.
Blu-Ray Yellow Submarine
I was going to re-watch Yellow Submarine this week, just for fun, but then I saw that it's coming out on Blu-Ray on June 5! No digital re-scanning on this one either, all the restoration has been done by hand! I suppose I can justify the wait for quality...

Simian Mobile Disco - Seraphim
Here's the second new video from these guys. Great classic soulful house sound.
BONUS BEATS!
A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum [Sir Piers & Si Ashton Vocal Mix]
Marbert Rocel - Whether The Night
Super cool track from this group out of Germany. Love the video too.
Grimes - Symphonia IX (My Wait Is U)
This is Claire Boucher out of Vancouver via Montreal. I'm not really sure what to think of her. I find a lot of her stuff to be a little... flat? I dunno, hit and miss. I don't mind this one though.
A new angle on history
This is an extraordinary picture of an extraordinary moment in history. Can you recognize it? The full story is here if you get stumped. Try not to cheat by looking at the tags...
Words of wisdom from Ice T
Warning: this is not a pop video. If you are offended by words... you get the picture.
DJ Tech Tools Ableton Competition Winner
This might not mean anything to you un-tech-savvy folks out there, but believe me when I say that this is an awesome display of programming, arrangement, and a ton of practice. Mad respect to Riccardo Betti for this award-winning performance.
Simian Mobile Disco - Cerulean
Yes! New Simian Mobile Disco! This is the first of two of their new videos, I'll post the other tomorrow. Both are radically different and while I prefer this one, they're both good. I'm really diggin' this track and the crazy video is great too. Better spice it up with some bonus beat action too, just to finish off the day. Back tomorrow with more great tunes!
BONUS BEATS!
Lauer - Trainman [Tensnake's "Franceman" Remix]
Santigold - Disparate Youth
This is a great track. I was a fan of her before and I can't wait to listen to her new album. This track is kind of where I thought and hoped M.I.A. would go. Maybe there's still hope, and in the meantime this will do nicely.
CFCF - Exercise #3 (Building)
A great track from a rapidly expanding producer. Certainly one to keep your ear on.
The Flaming Lips - Supermoon Made Me Want To Pee
This is some absolute madness in audio and video form.

SBTRKT - Hold On
Time to catch up on some new video releases. This is the latest video from my favorite album of 2011. Let's throw in a pretty dope bonus track too.
BONUS BEATS!
Miguel Campbell - Something Special

Here I Am!
I've returned from my long Irish sojourn intact! In my absence the world has evolved somewhat. It's warmer here in Halifax, Manchester City has toppled Manchester United from the top of the Premier League, Leinster and Ulster will do battle for Heineken Cup glory, the GOP race is down to Ron Paul vs Mitt Romney, Nicolas Sarkozy is no longer the president of France, T.E.E.D. has a new album on the way, and the Blogger interface has been updated! Oh how times have changed! Hahaha... prepare for new original music, and a new website that's taking longer than I had anticipated to get done. Need to get my energy levels back up. Coffee time!
