Friday Music Fun
Dem Jews got themselves an alternative to the neo-Nazi Skrewdriver…its called Jewdriver. As someone who heard the afore-mentioned band; Jewdriver are far better lyricists.

Last Saturday I saw Mitch Benn at the SoHoHo Club in darkest Soho. He is playing there this Saturday as well as on 25 March. This was an evening without his lovely Distractions…just Mitch, his new shorter hair-cut and a dinky electric guitar. His leather trousers got an outing this night as well. Kim, my beloved fiance, was with and witnessing him for the first time. Before Mitch took the stage we had to sit through a god awful black female comic as well as a rather nifty Jewish comic. What was most amusing was the fact that the latter took the piss out of the former and mimiced some of her act.
We were then threatened to a rather pleasant night of Mitch’s old and new material. His song on James Blunt with the line “James Blunt the only singer whose name is its own Cockney Rhyming Slang.” He was on very fine form not at all showing the affects of having a rather tiny daughter at home. It was rather fun to sing ‘Crap Shag’ along with Mitch during his encore. As you would expect from me. I would urge you go to see the bloke as he is not only a cracking guitarist; but one of the funniest damn comics I have ever heard or seen.

I was at Sound Design under Virgin on Oxford Street two days ago and was looking at microphones. I have my own mic stand now I want my own mic.
I looked at a nice Shure one…the cost 69.
I just found the price wonderfully chuckle worthy? Too much Monty Python methinks?

This is different, if a bit morbid:
Another of Garnet’s works, Experiments in Galvanism: Frog with Implanted Webserver is currently installed at Latitude 53 in Edmonton, Canada. A miniature computer is implanted into a dead frog. The animal is suspended in liquid contained in a glass cube, with a blue ethernet cable leading into its splayed abdomen. The computer stores a website that enables users to trigger physical movement in the corpse. You can view and activate the project online until March 18th 2006.
Go on, give it a try. Hours of fun for the kids!
The creator, Garnet Hertz, is a Fulbright Scholar, Research Fellow at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, and a doctoral student at University of California Irvine. He was previously famous (so to speak) for using a Madagascan Hissing Cockroach to control a robot. He talks about the details here, and it’s actually quite interesting. This is assuming that you don’t mind looking at pictures of Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches, which are not, to be sure, among God’s handsomer creations.
