Just kidding. I got nothin’.

Talking Popcorn / Sad Lala

One of artist Nina Katchadourian’s works, “Talking Popcorn,” below.

The idea is to hook up a microphone to a computer program that converts the popcorn pops to text using Morse Code.  Every day a sample of popcorn is taken and placed in a capsule along with its “speech.”  Nina bronzed the popcorn’s first words, “WE.”

Check out the entire project, along with her other cool works.

Also, one of my favorite music sites is closing – Lala.  It gave you the opportunity to stream any album whole before buying it, and served as a great discover-and-share community.  Perfect for finding new music and, of course, listening to any whole freaking album!

But then Apple, Inc. bought Lala at the end of last year.  Now they’re killing it.  Because I guess iTunes is kind of like a bastard version of Highlander.  There can be only one!!!

Like this, but with Steve Jobs' glasses.

So… I’m a little pissed at Apple right now for murdering one of my best friends.  So in light of that, every day, maybe a few times every day,  I’m going to post a favorite song in requiem.

So long, farewell!!!

… Well that’s not gonna work.

…Ok, WordPress.  I can’t share music links because you strip the little flash portion away from Lala’s player.  Well, balls.

…*gah!* WordPress is so musically unfriendly! I’ve been searching about for the last couple hours and cannot find any way to make a simple audio stream without using an mp3 illegally.

So hrmph.  I won’t post a Lala song every day.  Whatever.  I’m all grumpy now.

Here’s one song I wanted to share, however….  Enjoy it in an illegal YouTube format instead!

Abney Park – “Throw Them Overboard”
