Will went to see Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s The Book of Mormon tonight and I’m insanely jealous…
So while it’s still available, watch this interview because THIS is why Trey Parker is a musical genius! HAHA!

You know, Easter is coming and it’s always been my dream to see a completely mechanized film version of Christ’s Crucifixion. Think about it. A Post-Industrial/Post-Apocalyptic quasi-robotic interpretation of “The PASSION of the CHRIST”??!! Wouldn’t that be incredible? Well, …wouldn’t it????
Its amazingly simple. The talent is already there.
Hollywood could cast Steven Hawking as the Christ,
Robocop as Mary Magdelene, R2D2 as The Virgin Mary,
Bender as Saint Peter, Senator Bob Dole as Pontius Pilate
…and so on.
But I guess until Hollywood gets off its ASS,…here’s a little something to scratch that Hawking itch I know we ALL get from time to time! Hell man, I’m still trying to figure out the physics as how they were able to auto-tune his already robotic voice and not have the universe collapse in upon itself.
Enjoy.
Festo has created a bionic bird that mimics the fluidity of a real bird in flight.
How do they do it?
Hello my friends in geekdom,
This was really crazy but I stumbled over this article:
http://www.archive.org/details/ird059
and it really “freaked me out” (because I’ve heard these sounds before. A lot of it! In some very interesting musical contexts). I’ve never known about this, but there is this thing called “Numbers Stations” that are broadcast on shortwave radio as a way to communicate to international spies and stuff. Thankfully, somebody has collected and posted some of this stuff to the Internet. I listened to some of the samples and I recognized sounds that were used in various recordings of music that I enjoy such as obscure stuff like ChromaKey, Brian Eno, etc.. As we all know my taste in music is poop anyway, but I’m curious if any of it sounds familiar to any of you? I just thought this was interesting, and I know I have super geeky friends out there that would find this “neato” as well.
I hope for comments here. You don’t need to be a member to comment on the article. I wont Spam you or track you down on Facebook (as I refuse to have one).
I want any opinions on it for example: “yeah! know all about this”, or “Chad why don’t you find something to do”, or “… of course i knew this you idiot”.
NOTE: you may not use any of the above comments.
Cheers and stuff,
Chad
…can’t get enough of that kooky cripple!
I’m not really into hip-hip, but after an appearance on The Rachel Maddow Show, this guy from Canada really caught my ear. The Rap Guide To Evolution is crafty, laid-back, and an amazing serious experiment which works on many levels. I’ve listened to it about a dozen times now and it gets better with each listen.
You can listen to any of his work for FREE. Also you can Pay What You Want to download the albums.
I gave him $5 for TRGTE.
Turns out Baba began his career rapping adaptations of works like Beowulf. That alone certainly gives the man cred.
Sorry folks this was a week late in posting. I had to listen to the whole thing the whole way through and clean it up!
Here it is in all it’s glory:
Sound quality is ‘eh… so so’ but … the point is there (whatever that may be).
In summary, listen to a recording of a bunch of people having a good time bullshitting.
