Matthew Dear - Don and Sherri
I’ve been revisiting a lot of Matthew Dear the last few days. People are more likely to be familiar with the Hot Chip version of this song and as catchy as it is, I think that Matthew Dear original fits the tone of the lyrics better.

Nosaj Thing - IOIO
This guy… Nosaj Thing? Man, he is really the real deal. I meant to post one of his tracks a while ago, but I was having a hard time picking one because they are all great. This album is soooo good. I have been listening to it non-stop the last month.
Björk - The Dull Flame of Desire (Modeselektor Remix for Girls)
Modeselektor did two remixes of The Dull Flame of Desire off of Björk’s 2007 album Voltaic, cheekily naming one for girls and the other for boys. The remix for boys is more typical of the Modeselektor sound while the girls one here is unexpectedly trance-y. Somehow that is a good thing.
Tonight we are doing our first run of the World Series of ‘Tubing (registered domain, but as of yet, not set up!) at the Eyebeam Benefit. If you are in New York, you should come, but actually I’d recommend the Mixer party on Saturday over tonight’s event.
Anyway, I decided late yesterday that I wanted to have Yooouuutuuube style transitions between rounds and matches as a sort of homage to that wonderful thing, so I hacked together a quick version of the effect for use in the World Series of ‘Tubing software. While working on it, I was using the webcam rather than a video file and it turns out that its really fun to play with live. If you have an OS X computer with a webcam, you can try it for yourself.
It’s called “muybridgey” because that’s what I typed for the project named as I began coding this at 11pm last night at the end of a very long day in crunch mode.
