OMFG: Een iPhone van 2.5 miljoen dollaren
'Kings Button' heet dit alle financiële sores ontkennende apparaat, gemaakt van 18-karaats goud en ingelegd met 138 diamanten. Het 'ontwerp' is van Peter Aloisson, die natuurlijk het gat in z'n hoofd aanzag voor eentje in de markt.

Perfect Tunng
Henneaux maakte Perfect Tunng. Ons advies: ga er even voor zitten.
MAC: HIERRR
PC: HIERRR
Henneaux verhaalt:
Steeds als ik thuis Tunng opzet komen er reacties in de strekking van: 'F**** wat mooi' of, 'heb je meer van dit spul?'. Na lowlands, waar Tunng een fantastisch en intiem optreden gaf (India), beloofde ik een Perfect Tunng te maken. Bij deze.
De band van Sam Genders en Mike Lindsay komt uit Londen en maakt pure 'Folktronica'. Whatever that may be?! Recept: veel gitaren, 2X mannen- en 1X vrouwenstem, turntables, computers, en de meest briljant gevonden percussie geluiden. Waarschuwing: niet draaien als je hond net dood is of als je een rocker wilt blijven en een brokje intieme-muziek niet in je totaal-plaatje past...
Voorproefje:

Enjoy!

Want Josh Freese to join your band? Got $75,000?
"Who’s Josh Freese?”Freese, a native Floridian who came of age in Orange County and currently resides in Long Beach, is a drumming virtuoso who has risen from being a 12-year-old prodigy backing a Top 40 covers band at Disneyland to becoming one of the most sought-after session sticksmen in the biz.
He’s an official member of three bands: the Vandals (since 1989), Devo (since 1995) and, should it ever reconvene, A Perfect Circle (since 2000).
But he has played on more than 250 albums for almost as many artists, and of every stripe: Chris Cornell, Clay Aiken, Rob Zombie, Avril Lavigne, Rhett Miller, Puddle of Mudd, the Offspring, Kelly Clarkson, Good Charlotte, Daughtry, Ween, Gavin Rossdale, Katy Perry.
He was Nine Inch Nails‘ drummer for the past three years. He was (technically) Guns N’ Roses‘ drummer for three fairly inactive years at the end of the ’90s, and he contributed to Chinese Democracy, including co-writing the title track. He provided drums for the two new Replacements tracks on the 2006 compilation Don’t You Know Who I Think I Was? He backed Sting at Live 8.
Now, nine years after his solo debut The Notorious One Man Orgy, he’s adding a sophomore title to his resume. Like its predecessor, Since 1972 once again finds Freese playing virtually everything. Unlike its predecessor, it will come in 11 different incarnations.
Digital downloads are available starting March 24 exclusively at Freese’s site, for $7. The $15 CD/DVD combo arrives in stores April 14.
And then there are all these crazy special editions … some of which are wisely limited to just one very wealthy purchaser … while others are kinda crazily conceived. For $250, in addition to the combo, a T-shirt and a signed drum head and drumsticks, 25 different buyers will get to have lunch with Freese at either PF Chang’s or The Cheesecake Factory.
And there seems to be no limit on how many people can buy a five-minute call.
Here’s the complete rundown:
$7:
- Digital download of Since 1972, including 3 videos:
$15:
- CD/DVD double-disc set Digital download:
$50:
- CD/DVD double-disc set
- T-shirt
- “Thank you” phone call from Josh for buying Since 1972. You can tell him what you like about the record that you purchased, or what you thought sucked. Ask whatever you want, like “Is Maynard really THAT weird?” or “Which one of Sting’s mansions has the comfiest beds?” or “Are Devo really suburban robots that monitor reality or just a bunch of dads from Ohio?” or “Why don’t the Vandals play more stuff off the first record?” It’s your 5 minutes to yack it up. Talk about whatever you want.
$250 (limited edition of 25):
- Signed CD/DVD and digital download
- T-shirt
- Signed drum head and drumsticks
- Go on a lunch date with Josh to PF Changs or The Cheesecake Factory (whatever you’re into)

- Take a flying trapeze lesson with Josh and Robin from NIN, go back to Robins place afterwards and his wife will make you raw lasagna.
Thanks Roh!

Perfect Stereo Total
Fabian Sapthu, art director bij They, maakte voor ons Perfect Stereo Total. En dat is wat je noemt een eclectische verzamelaar geworden. Zeer de moeite. Enjoy!
HIER voor Mac.
HIER voor PC.
En onder het art-work de bijsluiter...
Wij kennen de muziek van Stereo Total vooral van onderstaande filmpje (Wir Tanzen in Viereck staat ook op deze Perfect):
Maar er is meer over te weten:
The music of the chanson- electro- nonelectro- garage- rock'n'roll- french-pop- rock-à-billy- disco- international- underground- duo Stereo Total can be described as:
40% Yéyétronic, 20% R'n'R, 10% Punkrock, 3% electronic effects, 4% French 60ies beat, 7% genious dilettantism, 1,5% Cosmonaute, 10% really old synthesizers, 10% 8-bit Amiga-sampling, 10% transistor amplifier, 1% really expansive and advanced instruments, a minimalist production, meaning a home- made- trash- garage- sound crossed with underground, authentic as well as amateurish, ironic as well as effective, pop as well as political.
De tracklist:

Wij hebben de Rabobank bijzonder hoog zitten, de rots in de beukende branding van de credit crisis, etc, etc. Misschien dat dit filmpje daarom beyond dubbel kromme tenen oplevert.

O. My. God. Microsoft Songsmith.
Waarom? Waarom? Waarom? Wie? Wie doet/bedenkt zoiets?
Voordeel van dergelijk tenenkrommende ideeen, is dat de gevolgen weer wel heel leuk zijn. Ruim 300 hits werden er al ver-songsmith-ed. En je hoort hoe de wereld zou klinken als Bill verantwoordelijk was geweest voor alle popmuziek ipv een besturingssysteem. Hier alvast:
Meer? HIER.
