autechre // overstepping all boundaries

I can not help but feel that I am listening to history right now. DJs, music writers and industry folk from around the world that I consider anywhere from personal friends to major influences/heroes seem to be all tuned in to this 12-hour worldwide online broadcast provided to you by none other than Autechre. This legendary UK duo was one of the first electronic artists that I'd ever listened to, alongside other important artists from early Warp and Skam records days. Now going for about four hours, the broadcast has been all over the map. If you tune in and you're not feeling it, hold on to the roller coaster because this is genre-bending (as sick as I am over that word) at its very finest.

What an incredible idea to acknowledge their relevance in the history of music, and simultaneously promote their epic new album, Oversteps, which is out on March 23rd on on Warp Records.

The world is listening!

You can too.

Update 3/4/10: Due to the awesomeness of Percussion Lab, you can now download the set.

Trent Reznor, My Hero

It's been quite a while. There are so many good goodies to point out on the Internet that I've been meaning to mention, but I always figured that something big was going to come along to light that fire under my ass. To no surprise, Trent Reznor is the reason behind it.



In continued efforts to mock Chris Cornell for his awful new album, Scream, coupled with his horrendous attempt of sucking money out of everyone, Trent Reznor has a mock album titled Strobe Light. Not one chance to poke fun at Chris Cornell has slipped through the cracks. Enjoy!

I've also included the link to Reznor's Twitter profile. As much as I love/hate the web 2.0 social media frenzy, there are certain celebrities who sincerely use the site, and it allows them to seem so much more human. Reznor's is such the case, filled with complaints, nerd-outs and general passing thoughts...it's pretty fucking hilarious sometimes.
