Super Mario Bros. 3 in 11 Minutes! 12/02/2003 10:14 PM
Mario in the News A Japanese person (cannot translate the name, sorry) has completed the classic NES game Super Mario Bros. 3 in just over 11 minutes. Fortunately he recorded it for posterity. (uses Windows streaming video.) Speed runs have been gaining in popularity lately. What game would you like to see abused in such as fashion?

Mario and Zelda Big Band: NES music with

Mario and Zelda Big Band: NES music with
Latin beats and Japanese lyrics 06/19/2004 01:25 AM
Someone just posted a track by the "Mario and Zelda Big Band" on a private file-sharing site I'm on. This is a Japanese big band fronted by a singer whose delivery reminds me of the frontwoman for Orquesta De La Luz (my favorite Japanese salsa band), and backed by a huge horn and winds section. They've got a CD of a live performance of music from classic Nintendo games, with invented Japanese words and super tight Latin jazz melodies. I've just ordered the scorchingly expensive CD and while I wait for it to arrive, I guess I'll just keep this one track in heavy rotation. It's fantastic. Link

Now that's mobile entertainment:
eccentric dude's piano bar on wheels 07/13/2004 12:23 PM
Following up on yesterday's post about the ice cream truck converted into a reggae dub soundsystem on wheels, Bill Pollock says: "Harrington King (whose business cards read "Spiritual Optimist") regularly parks his custom piano bar on wheels at various places down midtown [Sacramento, California] most weekend nights. Its cozy inside, appropriately piano bar-y with assorted bongos for those who feel moved to play. An awful photo but decent writeup avaialble via the News & Review (L ink) and the traveling piano bar has its own website (Link)."

On the piano bar website, an archived interview in the Sacramento Bee, in which the eccentric dude says:

(Reporter) Do you have a favorite weekend song to play?
(King) I've got a Sacramento song that people like.
(Reporter) What's that?
(King) I don't know. I guess it's called "Sacramento Song."
(Reporter) You go to any music spots around town?
(King) I am a music spot around town.

Yamaha CVP Keyboards: First Electronic

Yamaha CVP Keyboards: First Electronic
Piano with Realtime Streaming 08/21/2004 09:11 AM

Keyboardists will appreciate Yamaha's new "CVP" series of electronic pianos and keyboards, providing they can afford the ~$5,000 USD these cost. The most prominent new feature of this series is direct streaming - meaning, you can not only connect to Yamaha's site directly from the keyboard and play live songs, but you can also broadcast your own renditions realtime. I can't really imagine an era where we attend concerts over the net, at least until we work out some latency issues, but I guess this would be an effective way to form a student-teacher relationship online. Then again, with all the features these offer, why do you need a teacher?

Apple loops 02/01/2005 09:55 PM
SonicEmulations' Bandmateloops.com on Monday announced the release of two new Apple Loops collections designed for GarageBand users. Bandmates Guitar Player -- Electric Guitar includes more than 45 loops that range from "funky wah to classic rock and blues, to hard rock."

Included are 75 "funky riffs and motifs [that] take your rock, funk and jazz to the next level." Both collections were recorded in 24-bit, and were culled from premium vintage keyboards and electric guitars featuring custom amps, some processing and, in some cases, amp simulation. The new collections are available for electronic delivery and cost US$13.95 each. Previews and demo loops are available for download.

Mario and Arnold

Mario and Arnold 09/01/2004 12:40 AM
On the road in Boston, watching the Canada/US game on one TV and the RNC on the other; they’re both pretty good entertainment, although the RNC didn’t quite manage to top the venerable Mario Lemieux wading into an astounded US player fists-first, I bet Mario was just as surprised when he realized what he’d done. But that speech by Arnold, that was something, I was totally impressed with the rhythm and the flow and the complete command of the stage... hold on a second. He’s saying that the Democratic convention should have been called True Lies after one of his movies. He’s citing Nixon (“I am not a crook”) as a major influence. He’s saying that people who disagree with his economic theories are “girlie men”. This is vacuous slop. Hmmph, this calls for, via Dave Sifry’s spot, a tour through Technorati’s politicoblo gosphere, looking for adult reactions. Feeling better... yow! A mouse just ran across the hotel-room floor. Boston’s an old town.

Was Mario some Communist propaganda? "If anything can be said about Mario, it is that he seems to wear quite a bit a red . It’s on his name, it’s the color of his suspenders, his super mushrooms, his flag, even his hat." He does kinda look like an 8-bit Stalin, but a more important question must be asked: "Is Mario a drug pusher?"
