Beck’s “Record Club”
Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to ‘add to’ the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens.
A very interesting concept that has produced some really cool moments of beautiful music, audio recording, and video.
I really like the filming of it and the violin dude is awesome.

Nike Music Shoe
Hifana is seen here performing with the new Japanese line of Nike Free Running shoes.
“Indeed the shoes used in the video are the real sound controllers. Tomoaki Yanagisawa of 4nchor5 la6 was responsible for the hardware part. He added flexible and accelerometer sensors to the shoes. Daito Manabe of rhizomatiks did the sound programming with Max.
They were both commissioned by Wieden + Kennedy Tokyo for this project.”

New Inspiring Music by Jónsi
Jónsi is the talented lead behind the band Sigur Rós. He’s come out with a solo album filled with inspirational rhythms and vocal experiements.
My friend Brad over at OldFriendFox puts it better than I can. “This album couldn’t come at a better time, Spring. This array of natural beauty displays the changing of the seasons in a divine sense. With it’s detailed instrumentals and heartwarming melodies, “Go” is bound to get album of the year. Jonsi’s keen sense of detail is displayed in every aspect of the album from the art and every individual beat. The live shows are bound to be awe-inspiring.”

The originals…
Back in the day…well, not really, about 4 years ago, an indie artist and vanguard student created the first podcasts for VUSN under the pseudonym Noah Valentino. They were pretty darn good – check out:
