Now, Where did I put my bell-bottoms?

Also known as euro dance or just 80's dance to me, I stumbled onto this genre recently through a chick that is notably not Italian. Sally Shapiro does not look anything like you might guess from her airy, spacey vocals which no doubt adds to her image as a self professed "shy" girl. Italo disco purists would say that I simply found some more Euro dance music, but since the genre was actually described in the review of Sally Shapiro's album as "Italo Disco" I would beg to differ. I have always been a huge fan of dance and house music, so this brand of Euro disco is some of the best shit I have run into recently. I think I am going to have to buy some shiny shirts and maybe a gold chain to successfully rock this the right way. Take a listen to some of Ms. Shapiro's work, it's wonderfully cheesy.

Volta-riffic!





















Bjork's new album is actually quite good. After Medulla's vocal experimentation I thought she was leaving her awesome and unpredictable beats behind. Glad to say that they are back, in full force. If u want to peep the album it's here.

BEST GAME EVER









You know enough people don't give Adult Swim (the name given to the segment of cartoons that plays from 10:30pm to 2am every night on cartoon network) enough credit for all the shit that they produce. They have given us Three full length albums as well as a pretty hot EP. They have thrown hip hop shows and have solidified their presence in pop culture, all starting from the humble beginnings of a Sunday night block of cartoons that were considered too much for the kiddies. Now the good people at Adult Swim have brought some serious shit to the gaming table, the flash gaming table that is. Introducing Bible Fight, a flash game that will solve all the questions I am sure most of you have about figures in the Bible. Who would win in a fight between Jesus and Satan? Eve and Noah? Moses vs Mary...and Baby Jesus? Please check this out and if you don't think it's the best thing ever never talk to me again...heathens.

Kate Wax





I gotta give DJ P. Minto credit for re-introducing me to one of the lesser listened to styles of electronica known as Minimal Techno. Mostly sounding like something that blasts out of cars driven by eastern Europeans, the bass lines along with all other sounds are pretty simple with even a simple arrangement. This makes for a pretty relaxing electronic experience that may inspire some lax dancing or just a head bob. Scrolling through eMusic the other day I found Kate Wax, a half tibetan/half european tekno diva. Well maybe not that, but you can judge for yourself. Check out You Can Break My Bones, tell me what you think.

Baron Vista Vs. Count OS X



A funny special on CNet has some idiots carrying out the debate of Vista Vs. OS X in real life via a facsimile of a Shakespearean play. While I do think this is funny and of course stupid I have been giving Vista no credit for being a good operating system, then again I don't OS X is that fantastic either. According to this little play however, the beautiful GUI of OS X has found an opponent in Vista. I wonder if it too late to upgrade my laptop?
