Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday

Aug 062011

Lucille Ball would’ve turned 100 currently, almost sixty years as i Love Lucy started off cracking up TV viewers and do not stopped. There isn’t much fresh to be said in relation to Ball’s legacy: How she defined the ultra-modern sitcom, how she paved the best way for every woman’s comedy legend — by Mary Tyler Moore to help Roseanne to Tina Fey — exactly who came after the woman, how her show’s attractiveness has outlasted many its 1950s challengers (Gunsmoke, The Honeymooners) and is particularly still a traditional TV staple world wide.

Instead, let’s make it possible for Lucy do this talking. Here’s some sort of clip (underneath) from 1953′s “Lucy’s Past Birthday, ” during which Lucy thinks all people has forgotten information about her special time when, in simple fact, they were just refining their plans surprise. It’s a classic I Love Lucy reversal that leads to a typical comic set portion: Lucy interrupts Ricky’s show that has a full “Friends on the Friendless” marching band to allow world know she’s also been abandoned and forgotten on her birthday, delivering a hysterical woe-is-me speech addressed towards crowd — although aimed straight on her husband. Friendless, Lucy?

Brain Waves Harnessed To Play Music

Music, Technology No Responses »

Mar 252011

Using the power of the brain has long been a science fiction staple. Eduardo Miranda, composer and computer-music teacher, has created a system where someone can play music with their mind. The brain-computer interface tracks and picks up neural impulses from your brains and translates them into musical notes. The type of technology is not entirely new as other types of brain-computer interfaces let people control prosthetic limbs and even type on a computer with their thoughts.

To use the system you have to don an EEG skull cap and concentrate on four “buttons” on a screen. When a user focuses on a button, their brain fires of a unique series of impulses specific to each button and those impulses are captured by the skull cap. A series of notes is played for each respective button. Since this type of interface is not intrinsically known, calibration is needed for each user. It takes a user with locked-in syndrome, a paralysis of the entire body except the eyes, about two hours to calibrate the system during trials at the University of Essex.

Miranda came up with the idea of using brain waves to make music over ten years ago and now its getting closer to fruition. He realized that this type of device would have a large impact in music therapy. He is hoping to develop and refine the system so that it doesn’t take so long to calibrate. In the future the device will use algorithms to predict which notes the user wants to play.

Rope by Foo Fighters

Feb 232011

Foo Fighters’ imminent return is already looking bright, ‘Rope’ sees the band return to the more urgent stop-start guitar-rock found on ‘There Is Nothing Left To Lose’ and ‘One By One’ and saves only its grandest stadium rock ambitions for the chorus.

The opening few phrases of the song are laden with insistent stabbing guitars and the vocals are more at ease, dare I say it more Josh Homme-esque; all of which makes for some nice variety between the verses and the more traditional Foo Fighters balls-to-the-wall chorus.

The artwork, the website, the recording and the whole air of the record have a much more lo-fi feel than their latest two records and mark hopefully a return to their early days after two arguably over-polished, fairly staid efforts. Dave Grohl and his dependable band-mates are for the first time in years exciting, full of potential and ‘Rope’ even manages to end with you wanting more, not before building an agitated guitar line into a snarling beast of noise.

If you’ve been waiting for the Foos to rekindle the emotion and raw energy of classic, ‘All My Life’, then April’s full LP ‘Wasting Light’ may well, on this evidence, hold what you’re after.

Feb 202011

LOS ANGELES, Calif. –Less than 48 hours after premiering her music video for “Hold It Against Me,” Britney Spears has released a 10-second snippet of her rumored second “Femme Fatale” single, “Inside Out.”

Dr. Luke, the song’s producer, initially posted the teaser on Twitter and the pop princess re-Tweeted the link on Friday.

While no additional details regarding the song were provided, Britney’s longtime manager, Larry Rudolph, said fans are “in for a real treat” with the next single.

“We have a second song that I think we’re gonna end up putting out before the album drops,” Larry told MTV News on Thursday. “I can’t say with 100 percent certainty, but I think we probably will… It is a monster. It really is.

“I don’t think I’ve been this excited about releasing a Britney single in many, many years — it’s that good,” Larry added. “I haven’t heard a final mix of it, but I should get it in the next day or two. So far, what I’ve heard is just extraordinary. It really is amazing.”

The 29-year-old superstar has been hitting the studio with the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am and both artists seem to be thrilled with the collaboration.

“In the studio with @britneyspears today. we recorded another song for #femmefatale. that’s 2 bangers,” Will.i.am Tweeted on Thursday, along with a photo of himself with the “Circus” singer.

“@iamwill We make sweet sweet music….” Britney responded on Thursday.

Radiohead New Album

Feb 142011

And…they’re back. Radiohead have just announced their eighth full-length record, The King of Limbs. Billed as the world’s first “Newspaper Album,” an extravagantly packaged version of the record will be issued on May 9; however, the music itself will effectively be issued on Saturday, February 19 when digital downloads become available to those who made pre-orders.

So Radiohead have set aside the “pay what you want” patronage model that dominated the conversation surrounding the In Rainbows release, yet have retained that album’s more important business aspects: Packaging their music as a high-end collectable and controlling its leak, which has the effect of creating what these days is a rare, worldwide, collective listening experience. Once again, we all know exactly when we’re first able to hear a new Radiohead record and therefore largely all experience it together, something almost completely lost in today’s pop music landsc ape. This in effect is also what Kanye West did so successfully with his G.O.O.D. Friday project.

Full information is quoted below, and pre-orders are currently being accepted at Thekingoflimbs.com. At present there is no track information.

“Radiohead’s new record, The King of Limbs, is presented here as the world’s first* Newspaper Album, comprising:

* Two clear 10″ vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve.
* A compact disc.
* Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.
* The Newspaper Album comes with a digital download that is compatible with all good digital media players.
* The Newspaper Album will be shipped on Monday 9th May 2011 you can, however, enjoy the download on Saturday 19th February 2011.
* Shipping is included in the prices shown.
* One lucky owner of the digital version of The King of Limbs, purchased from this website, will receive a signed 2 track 12″ vinyl.

*perhaps”

In the U.S., the mp3 version of the newspaper album is $48 and the WAV version is $53. In the UK, the two sets are £30 and £33; in Europe, €36 and €39; and in the rest of the world,
