New Keyboard Choir ep
Just thought I’d let you all know that the pretty god damn brilliant Keyboard Choir have a new e.p which you can download for free from last.fm. If you haven’t heard anything by them before, they’re a big swirling mist of screeching, squeliching synths. Brilliant to hear live if you get the chance. Here’s the video for ‘Bugs’:
Hang Drum remixed
There’s a video that’s been around on video sites like youtube that’s been around for a while now which I’ve been slightly obsessed with ever since the first time I saw it. Manu Delago posted a video of a solo piece he did on an instrument called a Hang which I’d seen before but never heard played properly. I just LOVED the sound the things were making. When I heard it I really wanted to do something with it. Not too much but just……enhance it maybe? Re-edit it? I dunno. But I found out I could do video editing in good old ableton so I thought I’d give it a go. Here’s the result:
Here’s an mp3 of the audio: Manu Delago – Hang Drum solo (Mono Desire) [TM edit]
A big Thank you to Manu for posting the original video (which you can see here) and for letting me post the remix.
Foo Fighters vs Prince
I was talking to someone last night and and we got on to the subject of whether or not the Foo’s had lost it. Now, I’m a pretty big Foo Fighters fan, but I was being told that after ‘The Color And The Shape’ they kind of lost it. My friend then went on to say that Prince’s Suberbowl 2007 cover of Best Of You was better than the original.
So I’m mulling this over (with my chipped tooth after hitting myself in the face with a mic and at a gig last night) and I still have to say ……No. The Foo’s are still great. And maybe I do like the MOR acoustic stuff too much but hey, such is life. So here – Dave’s acoustic version of ‘Times Like These’ from One By One:

Gears Of War TV Ad
I know TV ads are a strange thing to post but I thought the combination of the game FMV and the Gary Jules version of Mad World (from Donnie Darko) in this Xbox 360 trailer was genius. Fair play to them for trying something a bit jarring and different I say!
Edit 26/10/08: Finally got round to playing (and completing) the game. Can’t wait for the sequel!
Eternal Life
The last post would probably make a lot more sense if you could hear the Jeff Buckley song so here it is:
