Categories: music, Upcoming Blasts, Wow Cool Messed around alot on the plane with Intua’s excellent BeatMaker app for the iPhone/iPodTouch. I have this serious problem where every time I fly United I get the Throbbing Gristle song stuck in my head (also Operation Ivy’s Unity and Queen Latifah’s U.N.I.T.Y.) It’s an illness. So the cure, make a new United theme. This [...] [...] Former Brown Cuts Neighbors bass player Seth Cluett is back from Paris, and he’s playing tonight in Troy, New York!

This is, of course, also true for artists, makers, crafters, and all other manner of geek, electronic whiz, computer genius, hacker, basement and garage tinkerer and eccentric; but, I’ve found that it is the music connection that really resonates (sorry, pun) with people, and has brought in the most luscious booty. Most recent example – [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | March 5th, 2009 | Leave a comment

I was very sad to hear this evening of the passing of the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. I’ve found he is someone who more people have heard of then have listened to his works. Often, at best, they know of the connection from Holger Czukay and Irmin Schmidt of Can. A few years ago I [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | December 8th, 2007 | Leave a comment
