Happy Friday, everyone. Enjoy the Timber Timbre video!
So even though I paid my dues to hip-hop, I hadn't paid my dues to music, and so I went and started studying theory.RZA
I’m glad RZA took the time to learn music theory. Pivot tone modulations ain’t nothing ta fuck with.
Great moments in mashup editing: Reggie Watts + PONIES
I should warn you prior to clicking the play button that there’s a ton of fluttercussing and even more general cussing. Heed the NSFW – Language warning. (Mom, that means you)
That said, this is one amazing mashup. Ponies + Reggie Watt’s Fuck Shit Stack.
Whales have their own ‘pop songs’ and they spread them across the ocean
I wonder if there are hipster whales?
A new study reveals that, just like humans, humpback whales in the South Pacific follow musical trends that change by the season. Moreover, these songs always move from west to east across thousands of miles of ocean—from the east coast of Australia to French Polynesia—over the course of a year or two. The authors say it’s one of the most complex and rapid patterns of cultural evolution across a region ever observed in a nonhuman species.
Amazing.
The death of the music industry
As someone who majored in Music Business, I can tell you with great certainty that I’m glad I’m doing web design & development full-time. Yikes.
Pandora files to go public
