I remember buying my first cassette tape at the local Waxie Maxies near my house when I was just a young kid, maybe 12 yrs old or so. My first tape, if I remember correctly was, Ice Cube’s Death Certificate. Cassette tapes were cool back then, but later came the CD and they slowly died off. CD’s are now suffering the same fate.
Anyone who has woken up a sleeping toddler or baby for that fact, knows it can potentially be a nightmare waiting to happen, with loads of crankiness and teary eyes to follow. This is the first time I have seen a toddler wake up, and not only be fine, but playing the air drums like a champ during mid-sleep! What a cute video. I hope this kid grows up to play drums for some famous band one day.
If only I could have been on this metro, it would have been so cool to see this flash mob surprise all the passengers and break out in an orchestra playing Peer Gynt. The musicians are all part of the Copenhagen Philharmonic. It looks like this isn’t the first time they have done this type of flash mob either, where they also had one in 2011 at the Copenhagen Central Station playing Ravel’s Bolero.
If you are a Daft Punk fan as much as I am, you should enjoy these illustrations that was curated by Cuded. It includes various artwork of the electronic-dance duo Daft Punk. I love their music, and I love their helmets, so fan art is no exception. Enjoy.

This video called Go Right has a double meaning to it; certainly more meaning than what’s on the surface of video game characters always going ‘right’ during game play. It’s a nice catch from Buzzfeed. And with the music by Michael Nyman, and the great game compilation, it’s a winner in my book. Enjoy.
The trio that made up the hit group of the 1990’s TLC ended after the untimely death of one of the group members, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, who passed away in a car accident in 2002. However, since through new technology, the group may be making a come back and going on tour.
Anonymous, the hacker group that you probably have heard of by now is doing something different to cause a disruption. Anon is trying to disrupt the music business, in a similar fashion as Napster or Limewire did as it’s predecessors, however not exactly in the same way making sure not to break any copyright sharing laws, which they need to be very careful of. Anon is building what they call Anontune, which will be a social music aggregation and discovery service.
This weekend at the Coachella music festival was an event that seems unbelievable. I talked about it last week, stating that famous artist and producer Dr. Dre was going to bring Tupac back to life and have him perform at Coachella 2012. He did not disappoint.
You wouldn’t know that Tupac is dead by all the news that surrounds him year after year including unreleased music, photos and conspiracies. Unfortunately, Tupac is dead - but for this weekend, he will come back to life thanks to holographic technology.
Not only did Kanye West like Megaupload, so did the U.S. Military and the U.S. Government. They loved it so much, that the founder of Megaupload is now talking about it trying to clear his name saying that they had well over 15,000 accounts on the site that was taken down in January on a huge copyright indictment from the federal government.
