Check out this radical web video series called Gemini Rising, a fictional 70’s rock band tryin’ to make it through thick and thin… right freakin’ on, man. This is certainly one of the most original, remarkable web shows out there. They do a fantastic job on the throw-back retro vibe - stunning costumes, analog film look and, well, 70’s hair. Love it. I mean, just watch this trailer and tell me it doesn’t make you wanna grab a J and kick back an’ listen to some sweet jams!

You can watch all the episodes at their site, or hit ‘em up on the YouTubes.

Oh, and congrats to the production team, Fugue Films for a well-deserved nomination for a 2009 Webby Award for the show! Kudos.

Apple has patented software that would provide a karaoke-like experience on the iPhone using pitch recognition software. Neat.

This photo is a real beauty. Philadelphia International just released this image of Gamble and Huff signing The Jacksons at their Philly offices. They’re also releasing some videos from the archive as well. Can’t wait to see those!

I saw James Blackshaw play a stunning show to 8 people at the Khyber in Philadelphia back in 2006. He’s one talented individual.

The Most Meaningful Music Vids of the past blog quarter….

The Most Meaningful Music Vids of the past blog quarter….: CRLS of HipsterRunoff sez re: new Dirty Projectors video: “I feel pressured to blog about this because they are apparently ‘relevant’ even though I don’t really ‘get’ why. Feel like I don’t ‘trust’ people who ‘ooze praise’ for the Dirty Projecties. I am not sure what this video is ‘trying to be.’ Think it is trying to be conceptual/artsy, but then also trying to be ‘normal.’ Probably like trying to trick mainstreamers into thinking that the Dirty Projector is ‘the next Feist.’ Feel like this video ‘looks worse than Bat for Lashes’ in terms of ‘forced conceptuality.”

Circuit Bending!

I made this short video as part of the Fiesta Movement. In it, I go thrift shopping with my friends Sam (of Pile of Girls + Niagara Falls) and Kate for old kid’s toys that we turn into new, and awesome electro synths with wacked out soundz.
