iScratch

more ipod sillyness

The ipod sillyness continues. Using iPod linux you can now scratch your busta rhymes and foster & allen mashups.

iScratch Via: Pixel-Sumo (which is an excellent source of miscellaneous musical / experimental nerdery)

Wii drum demo

I'm sort of the in the middle on writing a peice about Electroplankton for Nintendo DS, but I saw this and I just had to share. It's a demo from e3 of the Nintendo Wii's motion controller being used in a drum demo.

Looks and sounds like absolutely fantastic fun, and if Nintendo were to develop titles like this, it would be amazing. Of the 3 next gen console platforms to come out, the Wii really looks pretty amazing.

FREE CDS! (sounds a bit like email spam)

Folks, I just got back from a few days away from home, and while fishing through my email and separating the offers for genuine rolex watches, cialis (whatever the hell that is) and myriad of other alluring email spam, I have been collecting up the emails sent to date for the free Melbourne live 2005. If you have sent in an email so far, you have your name put down for a copy that I will send out in one lot once I get a full list of 18 people. (so no need to send again)

That means right now I still have 10 more of these CDs to give away. Details in the post below.

Email. Email swiftly, email like you've never emailed before and receive a free sampling of whats happening in Melbourne's Live music scene!

the wizard of rock! poster

Wizzardly!

I might be out of control. I love doing these things. When I have time it's like therapy for design nerds. ...Aaanyway.

It's the Wizard of Rock! Drawing inspiration (gathering by the demo tracks) from the mighty acca dacca and classic rock, all mixed up on wheels of steel. Any band that puts in a reference to dungeons & dragons is alright by me!

Details are as follows:
The Wizard of Rock
Live! at The Cameron House
May 20th $6

Also featuring:
SEAN WARD, DOC PICKLES, BA JOHNSTON, UBIQUITOUS SYNERGY SEEKER, HUMAN KEBAB

The show starts at 9, and The Wizard will take the stage at Wizard O' Clock!!!!

The Wiz is unlike anything you've seen, a one-man magical, musical extravaganza. Well, some type of a 'ganza' anyway, might not be 'extrava'. Maybe Tony Ganza.

Visit the Wizard in his internet tower where he reigns mighty yellow thunderbolts down on the peasants. Trogdor style.

If you have an upcoming show and want a gig poster done up details are here!. At the moment I'm doing this for free, and if you want your gig poster now's still the time to hit me up. Email me on info at ausmusician dot com with your details.
