Dormitory's USB disco dancefloor 04/12/2005 11:50 AM

David Pescovitz:  Storborg Ddf Pics Rainbow A group of MIT students built a 128 square foot light-up dancefloor in their dorm lounge. A total of 1,536 LEDs provide 4,096 colors and 30 frames/second. Of course, the whole display is programmable via USB. And yes, they plan to play Dance Dance Revolution on it. Link (via Slashdot)

If God is a dancefloor...


If God is a dancefloor... 01/19/2004 12:36 AM

According to Pink in her song God is a DJ: "If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor, love is the rhythm, you are the music". Which is troubling for me, really, because if life is the dance floor and love is the rhythm and we are the music, then who the hell is dancing? Is no one dancing at all? Is that the point? Is the point that life is empty and pointless - a farce of creation without function or utility? Or is it still worse than that? Perhaps it's demons and monsters that dance to us, stomping all over life, letting their evil hearts race to the rhythms of our loves and getting sweaty and emotional and copping off and falling over to the music that is us. We're nothing but the noise that supernatural clubbers take drugs to! That's your message, Pink!? Well, thanks for nothing...

The tired old man.

« HB, tired from the excitement of a car ride and good food, sleeps soundly. »

A long, fun weekend spent in Enschede, the Netherlands, has made us both as tired as HB looks. *yawn* I noticed a book in the in-flight magazine called point it and think it would be great for when you're too tired to really talk, even in your native tongue, to simply point at what you want. Brilliant idea.

Disco Sucks!


Disco Sucks! 07/14/2004 11:57 AM
25 years ago a Chicago radio disc jockey had an idea for a promotional event. Steve Dahl invited his listeners to bring a disco record to a double-header White Sox game. Between games he was going to blow them up. What happened was a full scale riot that caused the White Sox to forfeit and disco to die.

Bollywood MP3 Disco Blowout Friday


Bollywood MP3 Disco Blowout Friday 06/04/2004 10:46 AM
Following up on this previous BoingBoing post about the Bollywood Freaks mashup "Don't Stop 'til You Get to Bollywood," BoingBoing reader Mike says:
This was only a very slightly re-tweaked version of a tune from an early 1980s Bollywood soundtrack, as sung by the well-known Indian singer Usha Uthup. (The tune's original title is "Chhupke Kaun Aya".) The Usha Uthup version has just been re-released on CD in the UK, as part of a 2CD mix set called "The Trip", mixed by Tom Middleton.

But you ain't heard nothing yet! Usha's greatest work, which dates from the same era, is the utterly INSANE "One Two Cha Cha Cha". (This also quotes from a classic disco hit.) This track is available on a 1997 compilation called "In Flight Entertainment Vol.2" - and also as an MP3 on my blog for the next week or two.

Link to the blog hosting an MP3 download of "Cha Cha Cha." Oh yeah.
