Another magic music night in GA.
This past saturday was a much anticipated show featuring Jungol, Stokeswood, both from Atlanta, and The Zou from Ohio.
All I can say it is was very sweaty in there.
Here are some videos I managed to catch.

A good friend of mine insisted that I see this show. After having recently heard some of his stuff online I did not appose.
This was my first time at New Earth and the place is nice, especially for a party like this.
SeaDub was hosting throughout the night with some awesome mixes. Also the live drum and bass set was great.
While we were waiting for Rusko these guys were doing some sick popping and locking right beside us, then eventually disappeared.
They then reappeared when Rusko hit the stage, wearing gold outfits and masks. They did their thing for about two songs and it was awesome.
Then it was time to turn the bass up and get crazy.

If you have not heard about Pandora yet, it is time that you check it out.
Pandora.com is a serviced based on the Music Genome Project.
I have been listening to Pandora for a few years now and it continues to get better and broader.
Today I wanted to talk about the holiday stations. Typically around this time of year one would need to either play from their own collection of holiday jams, be it CD’s, records, MP3s, etc., or they would need to tune into that one radio station in the city playing all holiday jams exclusively.
Sometimes though, especially from personal experience, this is not enough.

I have been debating on whether or not to post a ‘top’ albums for 2009 list, mostly due to the fact that I might indulge in posting a top albums of the decade which would require a good bit of time.
Over the past decade I have listened to 90% of the music I have ever listened to in my life. My musical pallet has sampled many a sound in that time.
This year I have also sampled a good amount of new music, some from bands I already enjoy and some from new bands that I have come to enjoy. Unfortunately some of the music I have come to love this year, was not necessarily released this year so I might just have to make that Albums of the Decade post after all.
Normally I would throw in some “key” songs for album reviews, but all of these albums are all good all the way through, so if you are going to give them a try, just go all the way. Go big or go home…
My top 5 picks are the albums that I listened to the most when I first heard them. They inspired me and played with my emotions more than the rest.
In no particular order:

Saturday October 3rd proved to be a stellar evening of music. To start the evening I was at 529 in the East Atlanta Village to catch my man Arablak open up the night for the A3C hip hop festival. Shortly after he went off stage I got word that my people Odist were setting up on stage and I rushed over to Drunken Unicorn to catch their set at their EP release show.
Lets start with Arablak. A good friend of mine that I have been working with as an engineer and producer for the past couple of years, Arablak aka Jermaine Edmonds, has been doing random shows down here in Atlanta, typically being on nights that my band 13 Day Mission has a show. That said I’ve been unable to catch his live set until last Saturday at the A3C festival.

Tonight, Monday Oct 5th, is 13DM’s last show of 2009. I could not be more excited about the line up to be honest.
13 Day Mission: I’ve always liked these guys….
Vegan Coke: Another Atlanta instrumental band doing some mathy stuff, should be more of these IMO. We got a chance to see them at a BeAtlanta show that we played with 6 other bands on the bill. These guys were by far the most exciting for me and I look forward to hearing them on the awesome sound system at DU.

I have to say, thats a pretty big motto, but this mouse is pretty fancy.
For a few months now I have been using Windows Vista with my laptop, unfortunately the Logitech software that works with Vista does not support my MX1000 or MX500, so to the XP machines they go, and insert new MX Revolution for me @ work!
This mouse brings two new things to the table for me, one being this hyper-fast scrolling and the other being a quick flip button.
The hyper-fast scrolling is pretty elite, no more ticks and no more manually scrolling down long documents for ever and ever. The scroll wheel has some kind of wheel set up that allows you to flick it once and it will continue to scroll for quite some time. Logitech calls it ‘MicroGear Precision” scroll wheel, just feels like it has some sick barrings inside. Regardless of how it technically works, my scrolling down forums and pages full of images is made much easier again. The only other mouse I’ve used that made me this happy about scrolling was my first wireless Microsoft mouse, also had no ‘ticks’ and allows for pretty fast scrolling.
The Quick Flip button allows me to scroll through my open applications using the new Vista window scrolling feature. I think its a pretty nice addition to Windows but I have not been using it at all until now that it is only a thumb press away.
