Sky Orchestra – hot air balloons and massive sounds over London

by Spooner

Sky Orchestra

Sky Orchestra. Now there’s a pretty thing. I love hot air balloons and music, not sure this is a great way to wake up though unless I asked to be woken. I suppose more than anything, I’d like to hear this from the ground. Would make a nice change to being woken by screaming children. [...]

Everything is a remix. Video

by Spooner

Loving the way he drops in the beat from When the Levee Breaks, now i’m hearing it everywhere. Not loving the way he begs for cash at the end. This is the internets FFS! Everything is a Remix from Kirby Ferguson on Vimeo. Posted via email from Mr.Spooner’s Posterous

Sky Songs. Ok, so they’ll be streaming, but that’s not new. Need to better Spotify.

The Guardian says: "Sky guns for iTunes market with new music download service"http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/oct/11/sky-guns-for-itunes-market But the real competition is surely Spotify. If they can offer a better streaming catalogue than Spotify, then they'll have something to offer. The + 1 free download per month just isn't worth the subscription. Awful website here: http://songs.sky.com/ Their list of [...]

Top 10 – Desert Island Discs

by Spooner

Pauly and I sat down the other night and compiled out Top 10 albums and singles. These will no doubt be revised over time, but here’s a good starting point. We couldn’t decide if it should be albums or singles so we chose 10 of each. I’ve added links through for any tracks that can [...]

Super Mario Theme Tunes

by Spooner

I became lost on Youtube the other day and discovered these gems. Its catchy and i love the devotion and dedication of the many fans, as you can see below. If you find any more (there must be hundreds) then let me know, i’ll add them. My current favourite is the bass (no hiding my [...]

Reactable. Hmmm, music with a tangible user interface

by Spooner

This is beautiful. And incredibly novel. I caught Bjork’s band playing on on Jules Holland one night, but have yet to see one in real life. That’ll be a special moment… The thing i like the most about the reactable is the way it deviates from modern music box design, harking back to instruments from [...]
