The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...

Hi there, I think it's a perfect day to post 3 tracks, just for your entertainment. Hmmm, but then these tracks need to have some kind of story behind it, otherwise it would be meanigless posting 3, right?

Thank god someone already filmed the story back in 1966, so I won't have to make it up. I'm talking about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by Sergio Leone (one of the greatest westerns of all times).

The Crookers (you know, the Italian DJ duo that's famous for their remixes) made an album inspired by this movie and its legendary music by Ennio Morricone. They're just filled with rhythm, it makes you wanna dance. I'll let the music do the talking now...













Enjoy,
Mr. Brown

One Badass Instrument



Readers, in order to enjoy the music of the electronic familia, if you will, we must get back and learn of the roots....

OK, that's a load of bull. Really though, this thing is sick.

Its called a Theremin and the schweet deal is that it was the first instrument that could be played without touching it. Consisting of a bunch of crap, known as oscillators, and two metally thingys, commonly known as antennae, the Theremin actually uses some interesting physics. Its played by moving your hands certain distances away from the antennae. One controls the frequency according to your distance and the other controls the volume. The combo of the two can perform pretty cool music. Not only is this used in the electronic world, many artists such as Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin have used this instrument as well.

So if anybody out there either plays this thing or knows a crap load more than me about it, hit us up. If you're any good, write some songs and if its good we'll post it.

Peace Out Girl Scouts,
James
