But the Disk Protector ain’t leaving
No surprise in that, 3.5-inch Floppy disk is dead today. I hesitated to put that on the blog knowing that people who would be interested in that info would already know by now anyway.

Famous Artists’Ffaces Made Out Of K7 Tapes
Graduated from Washington University in St Louis,Atlanta-based artist Erika Iris Simmons AKA Iri5, just created the "Ghost in The Machine" series. She recycled donated cassette tapes and film reels, turning them into portraits of famous musicians and movie stars.(Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Trent Reznor, Alfred Hitchcock, Bob Marley...)
"I love the nostalgia of the archaic and I hope that not everything which has outlived its use goes to waste", says on her website. I love to think about the data contained on the media, and the idea that a copy of the the music (or movie) is also contained in your own head...", she says.
Don't push it Erika, it looks good, and that's already a lot.

Funny to define RIEN’s music – try “tropical math-rock”. Anyway, Grenoble-based act RIEN- french word for “Nothing” – come back with the first piece of a trilogy “which will end in 2014″ and “without any name right now. Lire la suite

Debut solo album from masked man from punk legends the Dwarves
This is not even something I can remember live because I’m just too young. But I know that in any record store you go, there’s always a hidden Dwarves record. Originally from Chicago, mid-80′s hardcore/garage band had relocated in San Francisco.
