]]>On one hand, this promo video makes Guitar Hero On Tour look absolutely horribly shit awful. On the other hand, the video makes Guitar Hero On Tour shit awful.
I digress. I'd want to try it before I wrote it off, but I'm pretty sure whoever they paid to make that clip is the same guys responsible for the advert for the Nintendo Powerglove. (video after jump for your reference)
I love Guitar Hero on Wii and I love my DS. Will I be getting GH:OT? I don't know. Hopefully it's more fun than it looks in that clip.

A good friend to the onetonne establishment is Dylan, He's got a Pre-Sonus firebox for sale for cheap. If you're located in Australia and are in need of excellent quality firewire based I/O for your machine, you should get in touch!

And then, there's the very new, Japan Only (won't be letting that affect me) DS title announced called DS-10. It looks hot. You can see for yourself here.
Did you see that? We get to draw the patch cords on the touch screen. LOVELY STUFF. It's cool for a bunch of reasons. Firstly it sounds good, it's a licensed Korg product so that means it should be quality, and it's cool because it's a fairly serious looking setup on a portable gaming device. I'm sure there will be limitations, as there always are, but I'm irrationally excited about this and will be importing as soon as it's available to buy.
Specs:
Two synths, with dual oscillators, that is patchable (as seen on video), 4 part drum machine that you can create sounds for using the synths. Six track sequencer, (synth x 2 and drums x 4). Delay, Chorus and Flanger sound effects included. Note entry via the touch-screen (hooray - the arpeggio stylus input reminded straight away of the Axe DS freeware.), keyboard onscreen & matrix.
And the kicker: Exchange songs wirelessly, and play together with other units via wireless as well!
A thoroughly decent offering in terms of functionality and the addition of wireless group composition is perfect. As Peter Kirn from CDM eruditely points out, the addition of MIDI support would round this out to be essential purchase.
Available from July onwards.
Developer Blog here, via well, just about every music nerd blog on the intertron, but let's say Peter got there first, cause he usually does :)
]]>At any rate. Normal service should resume shortly, please excuse any patchy and or dodgy things in the short term while I'm fixing it.
]]>Thanks dylan!

Another poster. This one's for a young cat called Travis Vick. He makes really nice tunes, go and have a quick listen on his myspace. AND... I just noticed that I misspelt one of the other acts on the bill. Crap!
This poster is a bit special as it's been all done by hand and then scanned in and done in PhotoShop. I usually do my posters completely in Illustrator, but I'm trying to diversify my skills.
Show details are:
March 28, 2008
Cool as Folk presents Beatbeat Whisper, Musee Mecanique & Travis Vick
Delta of Venus, 122 B Street, Davis, California 95616
9:00 PM
Cost $5
Somebody go along and report back to me with your findings. I will send a big handful of 1" badges with my art on them to anyone (who isn't related in some way to Travis) to the person who goes along and reports back to me on how the show went!

The creator says: "PocketGuitar is a virtual guitar for iPhone and iPod touch. You can even have guitar sessions with the songs in your iPod!"
I'd be a bit careful about using the word "Sessions" lest a certain other copyright holder came crashing down on one's head

Here's a clip courtesy of Computer Music Magazine that has Bushwacka! explaining the production process for the Layo & Bushwacka! track After The Love, it's 48 minutes long, so make yourself a cuppa before you settle in to watch it!

Some details are starting to emerge regarding Wii Music, it sounds a little convoluted, but I'm sure that it will be quite intuitive in terms of gameplay, given that this will be pitched at the non-gamer casual market as much as the gamers.
-Wii Musics Gamplay is based around Play Sessions
- You will have various songs from the Nintendo Sound Team.. Expect OLD BGMs to brand new ones.
- You will have different parts.. meaning Folk Guitars, Base Guitars, Trumpets, Maracas, Marimbas etc. over 40 parts will be available.. You can also be the conductor.. Each Part has different controls..
- For example the Trumpet will make strong sounds if you keep the wii mote at a high angle and weak sounds if the angle is low.. If you play drums you can use two wii motes.. If you are playing guitar you will use the C button as a pick. It does not limit itself in chords but you can play single sounds too.
- You can play 6 parts together.. Up to 4 parts can be played by humans..the others will be played by the CPU..
- Replay options
- Release date in 2008 TBA
