GUESS WHAT
An mlr Clone Running on a Monome Clone from basementhum on Vimeo.
Sexface and I are each building one of these things. They’re called arduinomes (clones of the impressively-designed and very teutonic Monome This is just a demo of one of the many things the arduinome can do. We don’t even completely understand what it can do. But we’re getting there. Look out, the game. We are about to GET YOU. As I understand it, people usually make some really detailed logs of their arduinome assembly processes, but we don’t really have the presence of mind to take pictures. But I can tell you for a fact 1) soldering is a skill 2) Fry’s Electronics is a kingdom of sadness which nevertheless sells a lot of the antiquated equipment we used in high school geology class 3) electronics components are cool. Also, North Austin is where the real weirdness is poppin’ off.

IT'S ABOUT LITERACY, YOU KNOW?
Sometimes I wonder if this is what people see when they see Gay Science.
SHYNE, THO
I am pretty sure that there is some ass shaking in this video that is so intense it is blurred-out. Peep also: barrington levy’s completely indiscriminate use of the “diddily-waddily-whoa” thing that he does. How do you get to do this without getting laughed at? Was this the first mainstream rap video to feature Jamaican badassery ie, groups of thugs with dreads muggin for the camera?
ULTIMATE LADY: BETTYE LAVETTE
Holy fucking shit Bettye Lavette is so amazing. Check out the cold as ice rendition of this song that always makes me want to commit some act of impassioned crime.
Also, peep this quote from Bettye about her original recording of this jam:
“When I was recording the vocal, the guy I was thinking about came into the control room, so I was singing the song to him. When we finished recording, everyone in the control room was in tears: except him.”
As if I needed more reasons to like this song.
