Algorithm by Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla
In the towering, nearly 20-foot-tall interactive sculpture, a Diebold ATM sits inside the pipe organ, replacing the typical organ keyboard, pedals, keys, buttons, and knobs with various ATM parts including a card reader, keypad, speaker, display screen, receipt printer, and cash dispenser. Each financial transaction that visitors conduct generates a unique musical score that produces randomized notes and chords at varying degrees of volume by driving pressurized air through pipes selected via the ATM keyboard. The artists collaborated with composer Jonathan Bailey to create a composition of sounds that range from atonal material to more classically structured melodies, harmonies, and phrases.

How much would it suck if your card declined and the organ was programmed to make the WAH WAAHHHH sound.
A lot. It would suck a lot, that is how much it would suck.

Melbourne lovelies:
My rad and talented friends Drunk Mums are having their EP launch on Thursday at the Evelyn in Fitzroy. It’s only 8 measly dollars, the drinks will be cheap, the tunes will be fun, it will be a total blast. TRUST ME. Their shows are always brilliant.
Oh, and they have a bitchin EP available here for five buckeroos.
Oh yeah this is happening ^!
Decent. So decent.
The XX - Crystalised.
Paolo Nutini - New Shoes
There are few songs that are happier than this song.
I felt like there were two days missing,
As I focused on the time,
And I made my way to the kitchen,
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found,
A room full of all my friends dancing round and round,
And I thought hello new shoes,
Bye-bye blues.
Feel The Love, Cut Copy
I’d upload it from itunes but it lags the internet l:
Bukowski - Modest Mouse
This is not some new band you’ve never heard, this is stuff I’ve loved forever and want to share with you……not because I’m drunken blogging (and every key stroke sounds like an elephant fitting on my keyboard).
LUV YEW GUIZE
Ellie Goulding - The Cave (Mumford & Sons Cover)
Ellie Goulding does the best covers EVAH.
Hnnnnng.
Det Snurrar I Min Skalle - Familjen
I started listening to this band in early ‘08 and stepped it up towards the end of the year during finals so for years all I felt when listening to their music was THE MOTHER VIOLATING DREAD OF END OF SEMESTER EXAMS, IN THE BASEMENT LECTURE THEATRES OF THE LIBRARY, WITH LOTS OF RAIN AND LITTLE SLEEP.
Three years on and I can appreciate their music for what it is: weird body twisting inducing beats.
This video is fantastic.
Det Snurrar I Min Skalle (I thought this meant, fire in my head but the best translation would be Spinning In My Head) - Familjen
I like singing along and making my own words up. Their music video was bliss. It was similar to or better than safe sex.
