The 100 Coolest Science Experiments on YouTube - The Dry Ice Bubble (vid #2) is quite nifty, by the way. (via The Presurfer ) How to Extract DNA from Anything Living - Like so many of your wild regret-filled weekends, it starts with green peas and a blender, and ends with alcohol. If Dr. Moreau had been just a bit hipper, he just might have beat Basement Jaxx to the whole human-rockstar hybrid prototype....
Over at ESPN.com, John Buccigross is sharing some of his memories from previous NHL All-Star Games: 2001 in Colorado: It was like 70 degrees in Denver and the West won 14-12. I think Bill Guerin had 10 goals or something and was the MVP. I also remember Thomas Dolby rehearsing "She ...
Now this is the way to handle a fan/cult favorite. I picked up Howard the Duck today, and I’m impressed. In addition to the movie, available relatively cheaply, the DVD has a documentary (almost a half-hour) checking in with all the bits I remember about the film: how they found the comic, modern-day footage with [...]
(For other forgotten albums and books, head on over to Patti Abbott's blog .) Eight years ago, I caught an episode of PBS’ “Frontline” where they focused on the music of Iceland . I don’t know about you but that seemed intriguing. At that time, Bjork constituted all I knew about Iceland and their indigenous music scene. That one program not only opened my eyes to the stark beauty...
I know this is going to clash a bit with 'The art of production' thread, but I got to thinking about producer/artist combos that shouldnt have worked but did and vice versa. One that stands out for me is Prefab Sprout/ Thomas Dolby on 'Steve McQueen'. Dolby - uber boffin and genuinely avant garde in terms of experimenting with tech innovation in sound, synths etc. Paddy McAloon - the tradionalist...
Lady Gaga's DJ pal Space Cowboy (aka Nick Destri) has had a busy year. Not only did he jet around the world for months together with Lady Gaga, he also co-wrote "Monster" and "So Happy I Could Die" together with...

The version of Flying North that Thomas Dolby recreated for his Sole Inhabitant tour has become my favourite version of one of my favourite songs. I was thinking about it a few moments ago, chatting to hunkymouse on Twitter about my Great Circle tomorrow, up north into the dark and then south again into the sun and desert... Luckily the man has put it online for us, as part of his podcast series. Enjoy!...
It’s getting to be that time again… StarWars.com posted their own mammoth Best of 2009 this morning. Below is my personal list. Since it is personal, it’s clearly missing some things. (As always, I don’t speak for all of Club Jade. I just post a lot.) So let’s get to it: 10. Rumor mill With [...]
The recent appearance of a hyper-accurate Back to the Future DeLorean replica on eBay got us thinking: How does one build such a time-traveling monster? Who does this? And just what does it take to go eighty-eight? Thankfully, Gary Weaver was there, as was YouTube. According to several BTTF fan forums and general internet scuttlebutt, Weaver is the preeminent authority on how to bastardize a DeLorean....
YouTube via retrosound72 "vintage synth demo by RetroSound Roland Jupiter-4 4-Voice Analog Synthesizer from the year 1978. The JP-4 sound is very warm and organic. The 4 VCO`s are always a bit out of tune but this is the typical JP-4 sound. A very nice analog synth! Unfortunately a bit underrated. Not compared to the bigger JP-6 or JP-8. For me the best sounded Jupiter. the demo shows some sound...
via this auction "Offered for sale is a very rare Fairlight IIX CMI (computer musical instrument) in full working order, fitted with series I channel cards and MIDI. This system was a “test” machine in the Fairlight factory in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney around 1983, and subsequently lacks some of the cosmetic finesse of production systems, as can be seen in the pictures. There is no front...

Having inadvertently unleashed an internet monster, he now clarifies that he misspoke (misstyped') and that his LucasArts pal was actually talking about the eventual live action series: A slight correction about the Lucas thing that my friend Paul Sebastien pointed out to me: he’s actually not aware of any movie plans, and was just talking about [...]
To call yourself a hardcore Star Wars fan in an age where the prequel trilogy has come and gone, is to admit to being a glutton for punishment. After seeing Star Wars: The Clone Wars in theatres last year, I have no idea how anyone could possibly be excited about another Star Wars movie in the foreseeable future. The franchise is at a real low point right now, and yet... all it takes is one wild,...
One brief mention in the blog of composer Thomas Dolby, who worked on George Lucas' Howard The Duck, and heads start spinning. We know there's a live-action Star Wars television series in the works,... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
