Here's a cover of the TMBG song "Thermostat" that I did which was discussed on "This Might Be A Podcast" with Julie Klausner! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-228-thermostat-w-julie-klausner/id1445431962?i=1000615772378" target=blank>Here's the episode!</a> #tmbg #tmbp #theymightbegiants #thermostat #homeworkparty

I was recording intro/outro music for my pal Meghan's book and I got carried away and made something she can't use. Here it is, anyhow. Order her book!

"Freedom Rock" is one of my favorite Frank Black songs and even though they got some technical difficulties at the beginning, it doesn't matter because Andy Richter is dancing in the background.

Chad's live shows are super great and if you can't see them you should at least hear them. Buy it! Excited to go see him someday/somewhere!

Nineteen Live Recordings is available for download now, go get it! $5 for the MP3s, $6.66 for the MP3s + a really nice CD copy with 4,000 words of tour notes.http://chrisclavin.bandcamp.com/album/19-live-recordings

Here's me playing with Emperor X at Pianos back in May. Chad put an ad on Craigslist to get an orchestra 2 days before the show and it actually sortof worked despite only one 30 minute practice session. You can hear him shouting musical cues between verses.

 Chad avoids the stage when he plays so he's shrouded in darkness and I'm lit up like an xmas tree playing a snare drum. Enjoy!

Been digging the pixel-art that Ben Brown has been making lately in preparation for the release of his fancy 16-bit-style Pixel art drawing program, that I think you can get access to by asking him on twitter (@makepixelart).

This one is particularly appropriate since Chad Matheny (@emperorX) has coincidentally hidden a bunch of purple cassette tapes around the country to promote his upcoming album and you can try to find them by going to westernteleport.com and seeing if there are any near your town.

Each cassette contains the only physical recording of one of 41 new songs and a code to unlock a free download of the song for everyone on earth (with internet access).

More are being added to the map over the next couple days, so check back again if you don't see anything nearby yet!

Soon, nobody will know what this is.

The new Emperor X album comes out in a couple of weeks on Bar/None Records! There are pre-order links and amazon is the cheapest way to go.

There are a couple of freely downloadable songs from the album at WesternTeleport.com and that's where a massive geo-caching project will kick-off on Tuesday so that people around the world can unlock unreleased songs by finding hidden cassette tapes. Details later!

I'll try to post some video of him later this week. Maybe even some with me in it!

emperorx:

Some of y’all know this, but I was waiting to post until it was for sure. I’m beyond psyched to say that New Jersey’s venerable Bar/None Records will release my new album Western Teleport on Oct. 4th. The pre-order link is already up on the label website for 180g vinyl, CD, and digital...

Lately, I've been riding NYC subways with people who try to guess the notes of the two-note "doors-closing" chime (older trains have different notes because of electrical drift in the older circuits where new ones are sampled and constant).

This video of someone playing a number of the songs that play in Japanese stations when the train arrives is pretty cool. The train-line is shown at the bottom each time they play a new song. It would make the note guessing game a lot more interesting.

The closest I've seen to this in the US is at the Denver Airport tram, where a short country ditty plays for each terminal arrival. 

peterberkman:

this is actual music they play on the subway platforms. yep. YEP. YUP.

We played music on the radio and I got interviewed about my micro-cassette skills. You can listen to it here:

Radiohive Eleanor is the most cheerful illegal media dissident I’ve ever met. We caught up with her on the third floor of a dingy office building in an NYC location she made me swear not to reveal. The offices housed a lot of socialist/communist/anarchist organizations, media outlets, NGOs, etc.,...
