Pardon the last few days' downtime - my database became corrupted (probably due to the work of some dastardly ninjas or pirates ), frustrating this technology-challenged droid and leaving you guys without the updates you crave. Not exactly sure how this happened, but we'll be upgrading this weekend, eliminating problems such as these. The future of Robotsound™ will once again be secure. Speaking of the future, it's clear that the music industry is heading in an increasingly digital direction. With the rise of the mp3 and the ubiquitousness of the iPod, CDs and eventually DVDs [...]
The Robot Invasion consists of machine musicians from all over the world - from the trendiest, megalopolitan glamour-bot to the unlikeliest, backyard, garage-dwelling rustbucket. Today's installment of RobotSound™ takes us deep into the heartland of the US, namely, the OKC . Seems like our Dust Bowl co-conspirators really show that they can shake a transformer and get down and drrty with the kind of aplomb that impresses even a jaded LA denizen like myself. John Bourke , one half of Trash Yourself! [**retinal damage/seizure alert!**] and co-founder of the Dance Robots, Dance! [...]

Looks like we're one step closer to the world of tomorrow as envisioned by Brian Aldiss in "Supertoys Last All Summer Long" (the basis for Spielberg's A.I. ). It comes in the form of a little boy companion that goes by the name of Zeno who's a walking, talking, intelligent "conversational" robot . I wonder if there are robo-pedophiles just itching for this guy to get to market. Between Zeno and the planned Jackobot , the future of robot-edutainment could spell trouble ;) The prototype will officially be unveiled [...]

This one has been on repeat on my iPod today: A slice of pure pop bliss that's as welcome as a cool breeze during this past week of brutally-hot Hel-L.A. summer weather. From some of the best working songwriters today, Saint Etienne. Here they are channeling The Beach Boys for the luvved-up generation: Saint Etienne - Lightning Strikes Twice (from 2005's Tales From Turnpike House)
This one has been on repeat on my iPod today: A slice of pure pop bliss that's as welcome as a cool ocean breeze during this past week of beastly, Hel-L.A. summer weather. From some of today's best songwriters, Saint Etienne, here they capture the effervescence of Abba and The Beach Boys and channel it for the luvved-up generation.

I was considering naming this post "I'm Italian ... Meat My Balls" (which I found on this page of charming license plate frame slogans), but I thought that might be offensive to some people - to those people, I say, "Andate tutti a 'fanculo!" Instead, I'd like to present the following artists who have carried on the legacy of Sig. Moroder and other finely-crafted I-bots. Francesco Rodion Irobots Crookers Nick Sarno Marcello [...]

You know what? I think I'm starting to burn out on this whole Neu Rave (no, it's NOT rave) / New French Touch (God I hate that term) / Noisy Machine Rock / Ed Banger-ish sound - the RobotSound™ posse have given to derisively calling it "Daft Punk Breaks." Maybe because it's just a bit too prevalent and trendy or that in six month's time I'll have heard just about everybody trying to sound like or get remixed by the latest incarnation of Justice/SebastiAn/Mr. Oizo. Don't get me wrong - some of it is brilliant. But seriously, I'm [...]

As robots become increasingly useful, we've started to see them being deployed in the military arena. Today in Iraq, the first ever squadron of robot warriors are making combat safer for human soldiers in situations that portend an ambush or booby-trap. While one of these machines may look more like a small stripped-down tank than a Terminator or ED-209 , they can be just as lethal. I'm reminded of the sentry gun scene from the Director's cut of Aliens. Together with the surveillance and tactical capabilities of pilotless [...]

Franz & Shape are coming to wipe your synapses of mundane and predictable sonic sequences. Embracing the principles of our retro musical forebearers, they aim to deliver bona fide alternative dance music fused with up-to-the-minute synthetic sensibilities. Their sound though isn't one of yesterday's future; it is the past reflected through the present. Sometimes you really do need to look back in order to contemplate the here and now or determine just where it is you want to go. Acquire Franz and Shape 's retro-futuristic instant classic Acceleration at the Relish Recordings website. [...]
