Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody Old School Computer Remix at Youtube
The link doesn’t want to say what this is but it’s “Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody Old School Computer Remix” with an HP ScanJet 3C supplying the vocals. No effects or sampling. Awesome. Seriously, I’m dumbfound. The end is perfection.

Opinions on Biber recordings?
Trying to decide if I want to spend money on Biber done by Goebel and Musica Antiqua Koln or Romanesca or John Holloway? Listening to clips, I hear things I like in them all. OK. I got Holloway’s “Der Turken Anmarsch” because there was one left in stock and it made me dizzy (in a…

An All Natural, Organic, Folk Holiday Music Offering from the Kearns
Inspiration struck upon hearing Nuttin’ for Christmas last night. We’d no idea it existed and if you aren’t familiar then I suggest you go take a listen at the above link before proceeding, because… I promptly came up with my own all natural, organic, folk holiday version, got Marty to play guitar, and off-the-top of…

Heston's "On the B Side" on the Michael Baisden show, now
Heston, today, on the Michael Baisden show. Heston is the artist Marty recorded who recently released his CD Storyteller. It’s also available on iTunes.

What they did opening for Todd Rundgren
I wasn’t at the Variety Playhouse yesterday, where Marty was playing, but I’m still going to try to provide a basic description of the scene, via his telling of it. Not only was I not at the Variety Playhouse, I didn’t do my yoga yesterday. It’s the first time in the nearly seven weeks since…

Wildly imaginative worlds of Yannick Puig
A couple of wonderful whimsical offerings. H.o.p. loves the animations of Yannick Puig, such as the below “I Lived on the Moon”. Another is the delightful “Krapooyo”. I like Puig’s animations as well. P.S. “I Lived on the Moon” was replayed over and over here today and probably will be for a while. I showed…
