Still working on actually getting DocPop.org up, but all my other sites are working.

Like Bill said, the music is by The Atomic Brothers. It's off of a split album we made together. You can download the entire album here for free. http://www.drownradio.com/the-atomic-bros-vs-drown-radio/

Re: Music producers mixing for MP3

Strangeglow nailed it.
Forget about how long mp3s or any other mediums are going to useful... The music is being released in the here and now, so we work with that.
When mixing an album, a good producer should always keep the intended media in mind.
If I was releasing an album on vinyl, cd, and online, I would definitely have three different mixes. It's just subtle tweaks, but if you were buying the album on vinyl, you'd feel a little gipped if it was mastered for for cd sound and not analog.

If Z. started making nerdcore, his moniker could be "Z20".

That's how we roll.

Re: Crate Digger Death-Match, Making An Album In 12 Hours Using $12

Thanks for the link.

We are specifically looking for a way to make the event as instant and webified as possible.

The contestants come from all over, but will all share a hub online. Worst case, I'll just host an mp3 for each artist and create a poll with the artists name and link to the mp3, but I'd love to have some sort of playlist with a ranking system. At the end of the voting, the singles will be ranked from 1-12 and those scores will be factored in with each of the judges 4 scores to determine the King of CDD. The less steps we could create between listening and voting, the more likely that all 12 artists will be heard fairly.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

That's not the Bay Bridge, and obviously not the Golden Gate Bridge, so I'm assuming the picture isn't even from San Francisco.
The Brooklyn Bridge has intersecting support wires, as opposed to the vertical ones found on our bridges in the bay, so perhaps it's from there?

Thanks for recommending The Sixtyone.
I registered and posted my lolCats song and it got 3 bumps in the first minute of being posted. I guess new songs must get posted to the front page and probably disappear pretty fast, but hell, if three new people heard it and liked it (they left comments and stuff), that makes me hella happy.
Plus I can use it to embed songs. So cool.

That was great, loved the way the music went with the vid.

For some reason, the google ads kept covering up the entire video whenever I tried watching this video on another computer, but it's working fine now.

It's great to hear the ondioline in a commercial, that must have ben such a bizarre thing to hear back in the day. Like hearing the Beatles for the first time.

I like pretty much everything else about this video too. Especially those freaking rubber drums, excuse me "hum drums". They work so efficiently though. I'd love to see some really long train of them in action.

I'm not going to be annoying and say "Oh shit, you never played Mega Man!?!!1!!".
Instead, I'm just going to go through your list and say...
It's a shame you missed out on Pitfall. It had great sound effects and colors. Another good Atari sidescroller was H.E.R.O.
I do think it is pretty crazy you haven't played the Megaman series. That was the first game I remember really being obsessed with. Wait... naw, maybe Super Mario was, but Megaman was a bigger influence on my artistically than any other video game. The style of the figures was so different, considering I was used to reading Marvel comics, and so fresh. More inspired from modern design than manga or other video games, the designers somehow gave Megaman that cute/sad look with just a few pixels.
Earthworm Jim wasn't that great of a game, but it was one of the first games that sort of had that "straight from a comic book" look to it that games like Sam and Max would later adopt. A fantastically animated game (for the time) whose game cartridge contained a whopping 24 megs.
It looks like our gaming history's are a little different. I've always been a generation or two behind in terms of gaming, even when I was young. I was rocking my atari for a couple of years after the NES came out, since there were hardly any games being made anymore, I picked up hella games from yard sales. Eventually, my parents "splurged" and bought a used NES family set (with Rob the Robot and the light gun), but of course the Turbografx had been out for a while and the Genesis had just been released. Anyways, I recently got a modded xbox on ebay and I burned through a ton of games from about 3 years ago. there was some great stuff, like Psychonauts! Man I loved that game.
Anyways... are you sure you haven't played Megaman?

The article doesn't mention any swastikas or SS outfits so I'm afraid this is just going to be one of those really boring normal sex scandals.

Re: A Cat Playing The Theremin

DocPop — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:42:52 -0000

That's cute, if I had a ton of cat videos with musical instruments, I'd make a lolCats video.

The theremin in this video is a Otona no Kagaku desktop theremin. They look cute as hell, but I've never tried one.

BTW, I recently blogged about an episode of Tank Riot that is all about Leon Theremin.

I wonder how many people have started smoking to help kick their Pokemon addiction?

This story actually reminds me of a common trend in the skill toy community. I've heard many stories of how yo-yoers and jugglers got into yo-yoing to help quite their smoking habits. The trick is to find something to do with your hands, and something that can also keep your brain busy. Things like yo-yoing or pokemon are nice because there is also a goal associated with it, something to strive to.
