You can just keep writing and recording music, even if you never become a rock star. The tech is cheap. Easy enough to do. Why ever stop??

Friday Videos - Nov 6th, 2015

posted November 6, 2015 #

I had a helluva week and my time for browsing and encountering awesome videos was at an absolute minimum. Trust me, I'm as disappointed as you are. So, the list is meager this week but I threw in some additional non-video goodies at the bottom just to keep you satisfied.
  • Billy on the Street - NAME A WOMAN - I can't say that I've ever considered myself a diligent fan of this series but I was dying over this particular interaction. You'll know it when you see it.
  • Darth Hoverboard - probably more appropriate for last weeks Halloween playlist but I've watched this a good ten times in a row and keep coming back.
  • The Lost Rolls - total honesty policy, I have not watched this yet but I'm intrigued by it. 200 rolls of undeveloped film finally see the light. It might be completely snooze but it sounds good.
  • Patrick Cowley - Zygote - not really a music video but a song I can't hear enough. Cowley was as influential as Giorgio Moroder in terms of pioneering electronic music but is entirely new to me.
  • JEFFPARDY - stupid, real stupid, but oddly satisfying.
BONUS
  • Chipmunks Slowed Down - I knew this would be good but I didn't know it would be this good.
  • ForeBears - input your surname and see where it's most popular across the globe. There are a surprising amount of "Eades" in Australia. Does my family have a history of criminals?!

Reconsider

posted November 6, 2015 #

Take some time in the very relatively near future to read this David Heinemeier Hansson piece, Reconsider. In it, he takes on the notion of "unicorns*, web scale, investments and the rest of the entirety of what's wrong with startup culture. It is a scathing review but I find it hard to disagree with, especially after reading crap like this wherein Jet.com raises $550 million to stay open for two months. I mean, that's gotta be a typo right?

If you find yourself keeping up with investment news and the exchange of large sums of money on a regular basis, please read this.

KeFe, Holding Pattern

posted November 6, 2015 #

If I were in San Francisco today, I'd be at 111 Minna for the opening of Kelly Tunstall and Ferris Plock's new show, Holding Pattern. I'm a fan of both of their works individually but it's great to see such a large body of collaborative works on display. Since I'm not in SF, I'll just make due with this online preview, which is pretty great too.

Luma: Surround Wifi

posted November 6, 2015 #

The last time I remember people caring slightly about Wireless routers was when Apple released their Airport Express.. and that was ten years ago! Then Google announced their OnHub router and people perked up again - a new approach to an annoying problem.

Now, there's Luma, a WiFi device that seems to solve the issue of poor coverage and easy control over connected devices within your network. Their Sandwich video introduction explains it all too well. I'm mostly curious if the software shown is the actual interface because it seems lightyears beyond current offerings.

The Forget Cassettes tapes for the soon-to-be-released Beth Demos, Vol I have arrived and they turned out quite nicely. If you haven't ordered yours yet, please do so soon as they are going fast. If you need further convincing of why you should purchase, the track "Cold & Sparkling" is now available for streaming. Get on it!

Postlight

posted November 5, 2015 #

I've always been intrigued by Paul Ford and his writings (and Twitter), so I was quite pleased to see he recently launched a new agency to build "big, wonderful things." Postlight is not just Paul Ford - it's a team of 40 - but they have a nice history of work between them to showcase, even now at the very beginning. I'm not entirely sure what to expect but I'm intrigued. At the very least, I can hope for the clever genius of another Tilde Club, right?
