When attending a concert, the music can often be only a part of the overall equation. Setting is an enhancement or detriment to the overall experience. With the blissfully tranquil setting of Sasquatch Fest around the corner, my mind began to wonder. Setting in a natural area is often the easiest way to enhance a mood. However, sometimes an artist wants to personally expand on the themes written through song in a live setting, and that's when the set design becomes more and more elaborate. When the design just comes out as self-aggrandizing and strange, it distracts [...]

Patrick Doyle, for Rolling Stone, talks to drummer Nick Mason : After soundcheck, the three took seats at a table in a backstage room and had a light dinner. "We were all just a little bit nervous, because it was a pre-show moment so it wasn't that sort of totally relaxed, 'Let's all chat about everything.' Since [David] hadn't played the track in so long, he was probably worried about the technology of lifting him up on the Wall. It's quite scary up there â€" I've been up there once and it's a long way [...]

From Gearfuse : "This Wall-E case mod is a work of art. Created by German tinkerer Thechoozen, Wall-E is a fully functioning computer housed in a case composed entirely of sheet metal and an RC unit, allowing the cute little contraption to move around. Thechoozen even included dual webcams behind the eyes of Wall-E, allowing it to capture 3-D POV video of everything in its path." How great would it be to have a Wall-E computer with an Eva case mode for your Apple product. Actually, when it comes down to it, I really just want a [...]

Is this a hell of a week to be a Pink Floyd fan or what?
Courtesy of my better half at Hypervocal : "On Thursday night in London, England, Pink Floyd fans attending Roger Waters' "The Wall Live" at the O2 Arena got the thrill of a lifetime: Feuding former band mates David Gilmour and Waters reunited in public for the first time since sharing the stage at the Live 8 benefits in July 2005. Drummer Nick Mason then came out for the encore, which means all three living Pink Floyd members shared the stage for the first time in six years (Richard Wright died in 2008)." BOOMSNAPS ... yeah, I don't know [...]
Over the past few years, Dutch producer Afrojack made a huge name for himself with both his enormous originals and more-than-unique remixes. The guy has already proven that he can stand alone no matter the current state of the EDM industry. Whether it's giving us bomb productions, or tearing up the world's biggest dance festivals, Afrojack just straight up delivers. Although his career is still young, it seems like Afrojack is now taking the opportunity to not just collaborate with up-and-coming artists, but welcoming them to share the spotlight as well. With two new collaborations [...]
Roger Waters has been on his "The Wall" tour since last September. I bought killer seats for my hubby to go for his birthday. He was ecstatic, and talked about how amazing it was to watch. However, he wasn't lucky enough to be surprised by an appearance of former Pink Floyd guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour . The lucky bastards that were at the show in London tonight at the O2 Arena not only got to see a duet [...]
Last July Roger Waters made big news when he announced that his former Pink Floyd band mate David Gilmour would join him on stage at a The Wall gig to play and sing Comfortably Numb. Apparently tonight's the night as Gilmour's blog includes an entry stating that David will join Rog at the 02 Arena in London this evening. Those hoping for future Gilmour guest spots will be disappointed to know that this is a one-off appearance... I should also [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By Yuck – "Milkshake"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3432177_lg.jpg)
Tweet If the world's supply of wax runs out then you know who to blame; Yuck , that's who. Why? Because they're releasing a new frickin' vinyl every two weeks . Or at least that's what it seems like. Part of me is complaining (the part that holds the wallet) and part of me is rejoicing (the part that holds the vinyl), but most importantly I just love hearing new music by these guys. Maybe it's because they're harnessing the best parts of my [...]
[Background: I went to college in Galway between 1989 and 1993 and amongst the Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine, Charlatans, House of Love, Wedding Present and Ride cassettes lay a tattered and much loved 'Paradise In The Picturehouse' by the Stunning] Earlier this week I received an email from Steve Wall (now of the Walls , formerly of the Stunning ) about his new EP and the free download that I could post to the site. I was taken a bit by surprise because my impression of Steve was that he belonged [...]

Today I have for you some beautiful wobbles that will surely get your head bobbing . First we have Datsik's new banger King Kong with Bare which is a bass booster and is pretty fast pace but I feel that the wobbles blend nicely with the melody. I feel most artist collaborate and then one takes over the other sound wise. You can see the nice blend of both in this track. There's just something about Legend of Zelda Remixes I just love and I rest my case with [...]
