Very cool. Very, very cool.

"Töken" is a platform with multi touch technology for musical execution, created by Rodrigo Campos from Santiago - Chile, whose purpose is to raise the status of "live performance" to the next level.

This version of "töken" showed on this video is a prototype, we are currently working on their final version, which will give a step to their future marketing. At this very moment, it is not for sale, and we have not determined its value yet."

Cute indie rock band of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn. Surprisingly catchy cover tunes.

Here's one that got stuck in my head. Lady Gaga, of all things.

Cool list from Topless Robot. Here's #9:

9) Kraftwerk

Germany's Kraftwerk have often been mocked for their cold, mechanical sound (the most notable example being The Big Lebowski's nihilist band, Autobahn). Yet beyond their carefully constructed image and robotic vocals lies an innate desire for human connection. As heard above, 1981's "Computer Love" is a commentary on how technology can increase loneliness -- something that anyone with hundreds of Facebook friends yet no one to spend a Saturday with can relate to. Creating eerily prescient predictions of the perils of online dating is one thing, but Kraftwerk really established themselves as nerd icons with the release of a ditty called "Pocket Calculator." Guess what it's about.

After weeks of tweaking Pandora Radio and Slacker stations, trying to come up with the best mix for working out (I do some boxing conditioning), I decided I knew pretty much the songs I wanted to use, so why not just put them all together on a playlist. Well, the folks at playlist.com pretty much let me do just that. So here's what I cobbled together out of the available Internet songs.

The list is still being revised, new music is being added/removed, so it's not fixed in stone or anything. Help improve it: What would you choose for a playlist?

Classic tune from The Crystal Method.

Interesting list. Here's a sample:

Paul's Boutique - Beastie Boys

First off, I'm pretty sure that Paul's Boutique has more samples in it than any other record ever made. The reason for this is because it was released before any real copyright laws had been set in place when it came to sampling. Over 105 songs were sampled on the album and the sampling for Boutique was uncleared. This was of course only possible before Grand Upright Music, Ltd. vs. Warner Bros. Records Inc., the landmark case against Biz Markie by Gilbert O'Sullivan, which changed the process and future of hip-hop sampling. Due to this court case the sound of hip-hop music was changed drastically and, if it wasn't for Boutique setting these wheels in motion, who knows what might have been.

Looks like quite a problem in San Francisco; cops are randomly seizing peoples laptops and DJ equipment, even if they're not playing.

Mike Holmes, aka DJ White Mike, was a recent victim of an SFPD sweep. On Halloween night, he DJed at the Beauty Bar and then hit a friend's costume party at a SOMA loft. He stored his bag, which held his laptop, in the DJ booth to prevent it from getting swiped. Ten minutes later, around 2:30 a.m., he says the police arrived and announced that they were taking all the laptops in the warehouse space. "I tried to explain that I wasn't even playing at the party," he says. Nonetheless, his computer was seized by a cop who identified himself as part of a "task force," who told him that he shouldn't expect to get his laptop back "for at least three months."
