Well yesterday Wayne announced that he'd personally delivered five Gummi skulls to Psych Explorations of the Future Heart at 4:20 and promised “hug and kiss all buyers“. Inside these skulls were hidden USB's with a total of four new tracks inside! Eat a giant skull Gummi get new music? I like where this is going.

SL Jones, “Paper Cuts” MP3 Missing Hell Hath No Fury Clipse? Here’s young Atlanta-via-Arkansas SL Jones, giving his best lost in the sauce audition for next-wave Pyrex sous chef, minus the Neptunes sound. Jones says, The inspiration for this song is street etiquette. When not plainly stating the toxicity of cooking residue, SL’s staying busy preaching behind hashtags (#beforewehadjustin, #yallneedtobreakup, #onlyintheghetto, #liespeopletell). Jones’ long-cooking mixtape will be on the table, “prolly next month.” Download: SL Jones, “Paper Cuts“ iPhone keeps record of everywhere you go | Technology Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised. The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program. For some phones, there could be almost a year's worth of data stored, as the recording of data seems to have started with Apple's iOS 4 update to the phone's operating system, released in June 2010. "Apple has made it possible for almost anybody – a jealous spouse, a private detective – with access to your phone or computer to get detailed information about where you've been," said Pete Warden, one of the researchers. Simon Davies, director of the pressure group Privacy International, said: "This is a worrying discovery.
What Lucky People Do Different Today’s guest contributor is former Wall Street Journal and Fortune writer, Erik Calonius. Erik collaborated with Dan Ariely on Predictably Irrational and he has a new book out from Penguin Portfolio, Ten Steps Ahead: What Separates Successful Business Visionaries from the Rest of Us. A few years ago I was standing in the garage where Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer. I had an excellent guide that autumn morning: Steve Jobs himself. “Look at this,” he exclaimed, pointing to the far wall. Today we certainly know what a personal computer is. The thing we don’t know today concerns Steve himself. But there’s another other issue at play in Steve’s illness, and Jonathan, I think you raised it your recent post, Dust in the Wind. Recently I stumbled upon a Stanford graduation address that answers that question surprisingly well. This is what he said: That’s a blunt confession, especially delivered to an assembly of fresh-faced college graduates. Great thought. He added,
BBC iPlayer - Bob Fischer: 21/04/2011 Tumblr armchair dancefloor 030: Terre Thaemlitz, Rick Wilhite, 2562, Maria Minerva... Thanks largely to the first hints of summer bathing the country over the last couple of weeks, house music has suddenly become a whole lot more appealing again, its slower pace and analogue warmth heralding the arrival of lazily sun-blushed days. Well, that, and the fact that there seems to have been a heap of excellent house records released in recent weeks. This thirtieth edition of armchair dancefloor checks out some of the best, alongside a few other bits thrown in for good measure. Kami-Sakunobe House Explosion (Terre Thaemlitz) – Routes Not Roots [Skylax] Reviewing Terre Thaemlitz’s music is a slightly intimidating prospect: his albums are perfectly self-contained entities in themselves, and as such are difficult to discuss without detracting from that essential quality. Slight digression aside, this reissue of 2006's Kami-Sakunobe House Explosion album is just as essential. Rick Wilhite – Analog Aquarium [Still Music] What marks out Analog Aquarium, however, is its fearlessness.
Interviews: tUnE-yArDs Photos by Anna M. Campbell tUnE-yArDs' second full-length, w h o k i l l, is the kind of record that wants to know where you stand. tUnE-yArDs is a relatively new project, but Garbus has been involved in art and music for some time. I spoke to Garbus on the telephone from Oakland. Pitchfork: I'm curious about your history as a music listener. Merrill Garbus: I was very resistant to the idea of being a musician as a career. I had a traumatic series of moves growing up and ended up settling in suburban Connecticut. "At a really young age, I wanted to be a rock'n'roll star-- a powerful woman singer like Cyndi Lauper or Debbie Gibson." Pitchfork: It does. MG: Usually when people ask, "Who were your influences as a kid?" Pitchfork: What about through the 90s as you were becoming a teenager? MG: An awkward teenager. Pitchfork: Did you have a punk phase where you got into music that was not on the radio? MG: I did not have a punk phase. MG: No, definitely. I think "Bizness" lent itself to that.
Good Videos for Good Friday - Videos of the Year: 1st Quarter 2011 DiS has found a man who watches loads of music vids, so you don't have to. He knows all there is to know about the bestest music videos around, and here is his very first column... Now that MTV is (and arguably always was) rubbish, I think music video has got a lot better. In fact, at the beginning of the year The Economist took time out of calling everybody stupid to sing the praises of the renewed format. I’m not sure there’s anything quiet about it to be honest. MTV removing the “music television” from their logo doesn’t say anything about music video, but more about how MTV has made its own role obsolete by forgetting about music completely. Anyway, this year’s videos so far involve guitar chainsaws, eating cockroaches, businessmen doing slow-motion dancing and robots. 20) Daedelus – ‘Stampede Me’ (Brainfeeder) Director: Chris Shen I really like Daedelus, and I also like this video because it has a man in a scary mask being a bit weird and then burning it. Director: Bob Harlow
SOUR / MIRROR Royal wedding: Fans camp out at Westminster Abbey 26 April 2011Last updated at 13:08 Royal fan John Loughrey has set up camp at Westminster Abbey ahead of the wedding Royal enthusiasts have begun camping out in front of Westminster Abbey for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. John Loughrey was first to arrive on Monday night, and said he planned to stay in his position to ensure a prime spot for the event on Friday. The 56-year-old from Wandsworth, south-west London, said: "I have always been loyal to the Royal Family." He was joined on Tuesday by Guen Murray, 76, from Attleborough, Norfolk. The mother-of-four arrived with a suitcase, a roll of bedding and a large ball of wool so she could knit during the week. Together 'forever' Mr Loughrey was dressed in a Kate and William T-shirt stating "Diana would be proud". The former assistant chef - a self-confessed "super fan" of the late Diana, Princess of Wales - also wore a Union flag hat. Mr Loughrey also spent four days camped outside following the death of Diana in 1997.
Guest Lists: Gang Gang Dance Welcome to the latest edition of Pitchfork's Guest List. Each week, we ask one of our favorite artists to fill us in on what they've been up to lately: which tracks they can't stop spinning, what books they can't put down, and what new bands they've caught on tour.
