Your buddy asks you to look after his dog for a weekend. No probs, but why not take full advantage of it? That's exactly what Capetonian, Dave Meinert, did when he looked after a mate's dog and he took full advantage of his temporary furry friend: he created this really good music video for Johnny Neon...
I think someone as Google is a huuuuge Freddie Mercury fan if today's animated doodle is anything to go by. Had Freddie Mercury not left the building so early, he would be celebrating his 65th birthday today and Google have a great tribute to him.
If you're seeing this today, 5 September 2011, then head on over to google.com, crank up…
... that it had to be interesting, not "overbuilt" or too technology-heavy, and easy to follow. The machine also had to be built on a shoestring budget, synchronize with beats and lyrics in the music and end on time over a 3.5 minute song, play a part of the …
As a regular reader of BoingBoing, I was quite surprised and pleased (at first) to see a South African group, Die Antwoord (means The Answer), being mentioned in a post yesterday. I'm always pleased to see South African musicians getting an international mention - they don't get anywhere near the international exposure they deserve - but I'm a little unsure …
If you're a Coldplay fan, you probably want to get your downloader ready PDQ. Coldplay are releasing their next album - Left Right Left Right Left - to the masses as a free download at 9am (UK time - What time is that where I live?) this morning.
Radiohead managed to get a UK #1 album by letting people pick their…
I'm working this weekend. Normally when I work a weekend shift, I bring in my laptop, head on over to last.fm and start listening. Not this weekend.
I was so impressed with Spotify last weekend that I've followed the simple Spotify under Wine instructions to see if I could get it working on Linux and what do you know, it works…
I've just stumbled upon, thanks to Claire, a great new source of listening to the music I want to, when I want to, without actually paying for it: Spotify.
The guys behind Spotify seem to actually understand the way music is going. It's no longer about ownership (I can't remember the last time I bought a CD), but about access and…
Thanks to X-Factor, we've got 3 versions of the same song in the top 40 singles chart this week. I think this has got to be the first time in history.
This year's X-Factor was won by a girl named Alexandra Burke who I think sounds a bit like Leona Lewis. Anyway, the song she released as the "winner's song" is…
Beyoncé is not quite telling the whole truth in her latest song: "If I was a Boy". At no point does she mention she'd stand up and have a pee. I bet this would be the first thing she'd do ;-)
I'd never heard of Goldfish (from Cape Town in South Africa) until SA Rocks mentioned it the other day, and WOW!! These guys are good. So good in fact that they've been picked up by the likes of Fatboy Slim, Mr Scruff, The Audio Bullys, Paul van Dyk, Pete Tong and Stereo MC's.
