Tenori-On

Finally someone's created a Flash Tenori-On. If you've not seen this instument from Yamaha in action before I've posted Little Boots using one before which is well worth a watch if you want to see it used properly. Great fun! Below is my quick but lame attempt but if you want a go visit Nudge.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats? Side B

And here is the much anticipated (by me mostly) SIDE B to my Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats mixtape.

Minilogue - Animals

Sorry I've been slack - I've been in Indonesia and Malaysia the last few weeks and to start the ball rolling again I've stolen this post form Popwhore:

This is so dope…This is a Video by the Swedish group Minilogue.

The art direction is very good and the characters are amazing, by the designers Kristofer Ström and Erik Bucholtz.

Apolcalypso now

I meant to start this blog whilst I was travelling Australia, but I ended up being way too preoccupied with more out-door related activities and not bothering. So now I'm back working full-time what better way to procrastinate? And while I'm on the subject of our antipodean cousins; I'm off to see the Presets on Friday. Their new album Apocalypso (nothing to do with Mel Gibson's film or the ice lolly Calypso) was sent to me by my Australian mate Cayle this week and it's already one of my favourites of the year so far. Swirling 80s synths, haunting vocals and electro beats. Love it x

[EDIT: A live review of the Presets gig can be found here. It was truly one of the best gigs I've been to and the sound at Digital is so crisp and powerful thank frig it wasn't at the BarFly as originally intended. "Mid-set they dropped the formidable electro wizardry of Are You The One? The strobe flickered. The lasers swirled. And smoke from an overworked cannon choked us - but we just about survived the apocalypse." Dominic Smith - The Argus.]
