I read about this free Philip Glass album at LifeHacker. I really like the music of Philip Glass so this is a treat. The free album is called "The Orange Mountain Music Philip Glass Sampler, vol. 1".

Here is the article about it on LifeHacker ...

Not bad!

Mattel has a new game called Mindflex that uses the power of brain waves to make an object move. When I read about it in BusinessWeek, I couldn't help but think of a scene from the 1978 Brian De Palma movie, The Fury, starring Amy Irving. Here is the scene I thought of ...

Let's hope the game is not that intense.

You can download the torrent for the movie, The Fury, here.

Mozilla (maker of Firefox) has a new application called Raindrop, which will try to organize all of the messages you get from email and all of the social networking sites you belong to. It sounds pretty cool, but I can't figure out how to download and install it, yet.

Here is an article on it ...

Here is the song, "Raindrops", by Basement Jaxx ...

Basement Jaxx have a really cool album out called "Scars", and the title song is really cool. It features Kelis, Meleka, and Chipmunk.

This is an old remix of Kanye West's Gold Digger/ Ray Charles' I Got A Woman by Diplo, but I just found it recently and had to share it since it is a lot of fun.

I started a Piracy Funds Terrorism, vol. 1, playlist on YouTube a while back (it actually survived a couple of usernames I have gone through since YouTube used to have a 2 strikes and you're out copyright infringement policy ... they seem to have gotten a little more tolerant lately). There were two songs left off of it. One was "URAQT", which is pretty much the same version that is on Arular, even though is says "Diplo Mix" after it. The other song is "Bingo", which has a different background on PFT (the background is a Jay-Z song). I will do a video for "Bingo" later, and I am sure it will be pretty much the same as this URAQT video, just tweaked a little.

Here is the video for URAQT, which I think came out better than some of my other videos ...

update ... and here is the last video ...

I got this from the M.I.A. Fans message board (of course) ...

"Get It Up" has 2 versions. The version in this ad is the Esau Mwamwaya version. The other version has Santogold, M.I.A., and Gorilla Zoe. Here are the 2 versions to listen to ...

This is a funny commercial of a fake TV movie starring Kathy Griffin as Kate Gosselin. This was shown on the Jimmy Kimmel show when Kathy Griffin was a guest. George Takei from Star Trek plays Jon Gosselin.

I decided to make a YouTube video for an old remix of Tori Amos' "Horses" by a DJ named Gavo aka Gavin Bradley.

Here is the video ...

Here is Gavin Bradley's website ...

I always thought this was one of the best remixes of a Tori Amos song (the Armand van Helden remix of Professional Widow is probably the best remix ever).
