An Update On That Halloween Light Show House

Remember those videos I posted back on Halloween of a house featuring an amazing light show? Well after that LMFAO video went totally viral, LMFAO actually showed up at his house to do a video:

LMFAO even made use of his house for the American Music Awards:

He also created a great light show for “Sexy And I Know It”:

Props Matt whose post reminded me to post an update.

Guitar Covers Of Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” From Tron: Legacy

Two great covers of Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” song from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, one of the best movie soundtracks in recent history in my opinion.

Anatomy of a Mashup: Definitive Daft Punk Visualised

A mashup is a song created by blending two or more other songs. The more complex a mashup gets, the harder it is to distinguish the parts that are being used to create what you’re hearing.

This visualisation of the song “Definitive Daft Punk” by Cameron Adams dissects a mashup in realtime to show you how each of the 23 parts contributes to the greater whole.

A really cool usage of Javascript, HTML5, and CSS3 to show how a mashup of 23 Daft Punk songs are layered and made: http://daftpunk.themaninblue.com/

Foo Fighters Live In Austin For SXSWi 2011

I thought I’d share a couple of videos off my iPhone from the awesome Foo Fighters concert during SXSW 2011. They were absolutely amazing live. They played their whole new album and then like 10 of their classics.

If I had known that the audio was going to turn out so decent, I would have shot more. :(

The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody aka YouTube Adds 1080p Support

YouTube has supported 720p video for a while now, but if you have a monitor that’s more than 1280 pixels wide, then you’ll be happy to know that YouTube has been rolling out 1080p support for the past week or two.

So what’s the difference? See for yourself using this hilarious example of The Muppets covering Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Click on the little “HD” button in the bottom-right of the video frame, select “1080p”, and then press the fullscreen button. Of course 1080p video itself is nothing new, however it is something that’s rather rare when it comes to streaming video. I for one am incredibly happy that YouTube has decided to move into the future instead of lagging behind like they have in the past when it comes to video quality.

Now if only I could choose 1080p from the embedded version…

Tool – 10,000 Days

Hooooly crap, the new Tool CD is f’ing awesome! Only a couple songs in currently, but I totally love what I hear. If you’re a Tool or rock fan, you’ll definetly want to get this album.
