D.I.T.C. Members, A.G. and O.C., Team Up For Collabo Album

Showbiz & A.G are most notable for "The Next Level", as well as being part of the 90s Hip-Hop collective "D.I.T.C". O.C also being part of the D.I.T.C, is notable for his first album
"Word...Life" which is widely praised as a classic amongst hip-hop fans.

The fact that Showbiz & A.G are executively producing this album is AWESOME. So excited for lord finesse as a guest, hopefully diamond d comes through and we have a D.I.T.C reunion.

The Lemur Alternative


I care for you all, very much.
And realize most of my readers don't have deep pockets.
So I always create a CHEAPER alternative, to all this amazing gear I show you.

Quote directly from the article

"Now, as I’m working with JazzMutant’s Lemur this week, before you get excited, this is no Lemur – or even anything like your iPhone or iPod touch. Sensitivity and accuracy are workable, but not exceptional, the overlay is pretty simple (as you can see in the video) rather than integrated with the display, and this is single-touch only — not multi-touch. Lastly, on a conventional laptop that isn’t convertible, you may miss the ability to fully extend your laptop perpindicular to your body. (Having the screen be parallel can put your arms in a fatiguing position.)"

But hey its only $200, and you can get a touch screen laptop out of it!
Mono touch is an awesome program too.

Jazzmutant Lemur

Your midi controller is so out of style!
Where have you been?

Get on that Jazzmutant Lemur Multi-Touch Game

Compatible with any DAW
(or any program for that matter you
could play tetris on it if you really wanted to)
basically a multi-touch screen
that is ridiculous for live performances.

Too bad the price tag is $2500.00

The Nutsons

Another Swedish Instrumental Hip-Hop Group
Two Funky Brothers On A Quest To Change The World

iTunes LP

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Buy the record, I'm all for downloading mp3's but when apple tries to tap into the vinyl market (which has long been dead, but thanks to the indie culture its now hip again), good job apple!
All I'm trying to say is, why buy the doors LP on itunes, when you can buy the doors LP at your local record store (if you still have one). You'll get some awesome album art, a nice piece of wax (if you don't like it make a bowl or recycle the wax), and you'll hear the warmest most comforting sound known to man.

KAWS

Devil Mcdoom

The man who will soon change instrumental Hip-Hop for the better.

Although he is of no use to New Media 1, or New Media in general

He is the man, who can make a gnarly composition and is essential to my thought process while writing blogs for this classroom.

Oh and Btw, Devil Mcdoom's Myspace

The Jetsons Have One Too!!

Another incredible unsung hero, for the people who continuously ask how to properly make Dubstep, or any eclectic futuristic electronic music for that matter.

The Korg KAOSS-PAD 3
is a complete instrument allowing you to manage, recall, and play back samples; sample on the fly; and add dynamic processing to any audio signal or to the samples themselves. KP3 has 128 all-new effects raning from traditional effects such as delays, flangers and reverbs, to exciting new effects, like grain shifter, decimator, analog style filter with a tone-bending drive circuit and EQs controllable directly from the pad.

The cheapest of its kind (So far) with a price tag of only $329.99

MOMMY!!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!!

Granted the TENORI-ON
Was the coolest thing you've seen in the while

With the economy being all whatever, word to the recession and all that (BIG UPS, RESPEK WESTSIDE).
I felt like I should give you something awesome, with a better price tag
!!! (About $400, which is $800 less than the TENORI-ON)

The Abelton Compatible APC-40!!

Musical Etch-A-Sketch


The TENORI-ON

Definitely something you won't see every 7 year old with,
the price tag on it is about $1200.00.

The video, although mediocre in the sense of what you can actually do with it. Blows my mind every time I watch it.
