fake coachella 2008 lineups

there was a thread over on the coachella festival messageboard about people’s dream lineups, but a few people made some hilarious fake lineups, which gave me a pretty good laugh. here are two of my favorites.

even more chuckle-inducing were people on the messageboard going “hey, i like _______! don’t make fun of them!”

some inclusions are obvious, but yet necessary, and still funny like, well.. Creed. or hoobastank. but then you got kottonmouth kingz… crazy town… shaq-fu… deep blue something… candlebox… i also appreciate the juxtaposition of Yanni and Fat Joe. and some bands that could theoretically actually be at coachella like she wants revenge or the editors… heh. and out of left field, icy hot stuntaz?! genius! haha.. too funny.

I Like Good Music archive additions

ilgm-grover.jpg

I finally got off my lazy arse and uploaded more old I Like Good Music shows for your enjoyment (?)… they’re all from 2005, ’cause that’s when i was mainly using the killradio built-in server to record the shows. the 2005ers are arguably the better shows out of the entire run because by that time i had sorta figured out what i was doing, had some nifty bumpers and so on, but i guess if you never heard the 2003 era stuff you don’t know what you’re missing.. or not. next time i will dig into the archive box and pull out some 2004 or 2003 jointz for dat azz.

on the site here, there are now 10 shows for download (i guess nowadays i should or could call them podcasts?). hm, 10 shows at 2 hours each, simple math that even i can handle tells me that’s 20 hours of audio to feast your earballs on, which means lots and lots of my recorded voice & banter.. shudder… there have been no complaints about using Mediafire either, so i’m sticking with it. anyways, you can get them all by clicking the “I Like Good Music” tag at the top of this page, or by clicking this link here. those who have said something,thanks for the posi feedback.

halloween jams… 2006?

front-scan72.jpg

ok, so i’m a year late. i originally made this halloween mix last year and gave it to like… literally about eight people. it was fun to make, but was also kinda time-consuming and tedious and messy to produce the actual covers since it involved a fair amount of spray-mount and orange & black spraypaint. the fumes that were hovering around my apartment kitchen for a few hours that night… consider yourself lucky if you got your hands on an actual physical original. this year i was too busy/lazy to make more of last year’s comp, and i was also equally lazy/busy to attempt a 2007 mix even though i did have a lot of potential inclusions sitting on my hard drive.

therefore, i mp3ed and uploaded last years mix to share with people who missed out. it’s in several parts because mediafire has a limit of 100megs per individual upload. just download it all and drop it into an itunes playlist. the files are all tagged & numbered properly. there’s plenty of interspersed sound effects taken from old thrift store-style spooky “haunted house” records, but i guess if you get sick of those, you could make a playlist that has only the songs. both discs including the sounds, shuffled in a playlist would make a fun halloween party soundtrack though. there’s also artwork included if you’re in a burnin’ & craftin’ mood. forget carving a pumpkin, eat some candy and assemble a cd. (it’ll probably work better if you just print the front & back and put it into a plastic sleeve like a miniature 7″ record, rather than trying to cram it into a jewelcase somehow because it was originally in a paper envelope, not a case).

a lot of stuff on this mix probably isn’t kosher to share so i’m going to only leave it up for a little while… download while you can. note: this is all for fun, and is for haunting use only. not for sale! don’t sue me please!

the sound of horror podcasts…

my friend dave k over at hardware media has been both doing his own punk/hc podcasts for a while now, as well as spotlighting similar podcasts and blogs all over the world. i remember years ago he was going to do a comics/horror fanzine in addition to the Hardware hardcore fanzine he used to produce with his homie Brett… so it only seems natural that he would be doing a series of horror movie soundtrack podcasts in addition to the regular hc stuff. i’m not hugely into horror movies per se, but i love halloween & it’s october, so this is appropriate to highlight…

“It’s October… time for the Sound of Horror!

Beginning October 1st 2007, come to Hardware Media And Radio and download the first episode of the 6 part horror film score podcast entitled the Sound Of Horror. Hear some of the best horror film score tracks and film trailers around, it’ll surely give you the chills… Each Wednesday in October a new part will be released, ending on Halloween…”

the complete Beatles in one hour

in a plunderphonics type of move, this guy steve mclaughlin took ALL the Beatles UK albums and accelerated them 800% so they only take one hour to listen to in their entirety. insane and mind bending.

just when i thought punk couldn’t be co-opted by the mainstream anymore than it already has, something like this shows up. sheesh… lame!

who you “whoopin’”?

well, after my rant the other day about the iPhone not having iChat on it… i am not sure where i got the idea that it actually would have iChat! it sounds like a total no-brainer, so i think i just assumed it would be included. i went back and watched parts of the original Jobs keynote demonstration of the phone… and either i missed it, or i couldn’t find anywhere where either an iChat icon appeared on the phone, or where iChat was even mentioned. what might have been misleading is that when Jobs is doing SMS text messaging, the icon itself has a little speech bubble in the middle which is very similar to the current iChatAV icon. the flow of the convos in texting are formatted to look almost exactly like iChat in the way it threads them in speech bubbles. it’s possible to switch back and forth between different texting convos that are happening at the same time (which is sorta like tabbed chatting but not exactly). however, when the message is sent, there is that familiar iChat “whoop” sound! in looking back with a hazy memory, i could see how because of these things, i might have thought iChat was demoed. anyways, i still hope they wise up and do include iChat when the iPhone finally drops.

more iPhone; Leopard gripes

after my initial hype over the iphone (as evidenced in previous posts), and as the release day draws ever nearer, i am starting to hear more and more details leaking out - some of them which aren’t sounding so cool. yeah, yeah, the iphone isn’t actually out yet, and seemingly NO ONE outside of the inner echelons of Apple have even touched one, so a lot of it is speculation based on scans of employee manuals and whatnot. i’ve read like 50 different blogs and messaageboards on this crap and this is what i can summarize that is annoying: Continue reading ‘more iPhone; Leopard gripes’
