Our friends over at This Is A Magazine just released their most original and interesting project to-date. It's their "EVERYTHING WILL BE OK" performance art edition, which consists of a 300 page PowerPoint presentation from artists including Pamela Anderson and George W. Bush.

Both Unix and Bep of Electroboobies are bustin loose. They're breaking out of the Training Bra, and launching a whole new electronic experience in the heart of Downtown LA. Starting this Saturday and continuing every month head down to ULTRALUXX at Litle Pedro's (901 East 1st Street @ Vignes). You'll be treated to DJs dropping the beats of electro, indie, brit-pop, 80's, new wave and more - tell 'em BitBoy sent you!

First it was Apple. Now it looks like both Apple and Sony are getting pretty good at prying me away from my hard earned dollars. The new PSP is charging right now!

Old school party fliers. Awesome [via Newstoday].

I'm not sure exactly what this whole Japanese Kumauta singing polar bear PS2 game is about, but it looks just weird enough to be a winner. My Japanese is bad enough to where I can just make out the "ku" on his uber-stylish tracksuit.

04/05/2005 Fischerspooner "Odyssey" Record Release Party
Cinespace, Hollywood, CA. Details: Casey will DJ. Open to the public on a first come-first serve basis.

SF Robots, tonight head over to Active at 9th & Folsom for a very special visit - direct from the Hague in western Holland Legowelt will be bringing his analog synth grooves to hungry robot masses. Legowelt is not to be missed!

Just a quick note for all LA robots, get your gears in motion and head down this Saturday night to Data Age. Not only is it LA's exclusive venue to see drum machines, sequencers, and computers along with their live counterparts, you'll just may also get a glimpse of neighbor and friend Mike, as he fires up his keytar. Check out more information at Curious Recordings.

Rockstar Games launches Beaterator, a real-time, online Flash music sequencer and sampler, complete with loops from Ghostly artist Matthew Dear.

The rain they promised for LA never came, so it proved to be a nice day to head out on foot and take the Lensbaby and the D70 out for a spin in the 'hood. Lomography has nothin' on this combo!

I've been listening to an advance copy of the new Fischerspooner album, Odyssey and it's really grown on me. The art troupe extrordinaire have returned to prove that they're for real, with some incredibly catchy melodies and lyrics. It's clear "Just Let Go" will be the breakout single, but equally fab is the sassy "Never Win" or the more contemplative "All We Are" with rifts that harken back to the Cure's "A Forest". Definitely worth picking up when the album is released in April 2005. For now, you can check out Casey and his new Napoleon Dynamite coiffure in the "Just Let Go" video here.

Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with music and images. I have also harbored a secret desire to explore the relationships between sound and image; to "see" what a song sounds like, and to "hear" what an image looks like. Blogger and software engineer Tim Omernick takes my obsession one further with his innovative SoundOfAnImage software, which converts images into music. Sometimes the music even sounds like music, especially if you play images with a lot of structure and/or symmetry to them. Here's the results of some experiments with recent pictures from Rem Koolhaas' and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture's amazing Seattle public library. They might not make your iTunes playlist, but they're very interesting nonetheless.
