Craig’s latest piece is quite fascinating. It’s comprised of twenty speakers operating independently each powered by solar panels. There is a different guitar sample in each box all playing together making the composition. The guitar samples are all of different lengths so the whole piece keeps evolving.

It’s that time of the week, 5 songs of very different styles and moods, all lined up for your liking.
This Sunday you should start off the day with this song. If you’re laying around not knowing what to do with yourself, you’re spending a good Sunday.
Bloc Party – Sunday
Not only do they have a great name, but their music is beautiful.
Air France – No Excuses
I generally save the soothing sounds of Great Lake Swimmers for bath time. And that’s a huge compliment from my part.
Great Lake Swimmers – The Man With No Skin
With time I have come to realize most people don’t get as excited as I do when Drum’n’Bass is blasting in their ears. So slow down the bpm and enjoy some Benga.
Benga – Zero M2
The singer from Wolf Parade Dan Boecker got it all right by uniting with his wife for to create Handsome Furs.
Handsome Furs – Hearts of Iron

Well well it’s a bit late but this is still the weekend, and the time has come to spread some music love.
Starting off with an album I discovered yesterday, and blew my mind. Wait What has mashed up the legendary masterpieces of Notorious B.I.G with the beautiful sounds of The XX
Wait What – Notorious B.I.G vs The XX – Islands is The Limit
I’m ashamed to say I’ve only listened to two of Chris Isaak’s songs, both of which are amazing.
Chris Isaak – Blue Hotel
Sia’s goddess-like voice combined with the intricate chill-out sounds of Zero 7 can only produce awesomeness.
Zero 7 feat. Sia – Fine Social Scene
Thom Yorke’s side project The Eraser has dark electronic vibes to it. Naturally I had to force myself not to compare this to Radiohead’s other amazing work, but once I got past that I thoroughly appreciated it.
Thom Yorke – The Eraser
the grand finale: the renowned Strokes, who’s music will never leave my little shuffle ipod because there is always a part of my day dedicated to them.
The Strokes – Heart In A Cage

Here’s a pretty eclectic mix of music for you this week.
Starting off with one of my favorite songs of all time
The Funeral – Band of Horses
Moving on to Amy Macdonald’s most recent album. Nothing too extraordinary here, but I do enjoy her style.
Spark – Amy Macdonald
Next up is this little precious that I found hiding in the unclassified corners of my itunes. It’s a great song and you should listen to the whole thing.
Duermete – As Tall As Lions
Devendra Banhart will conquer you.
Freely – Devendra Banhart
And finally to send you off on a good morning/afternoon/night, Ratatat will always get you up and groovy at anytime of the day.
Mirando – Ratatat
