Louie and Miles RE-mixed

The Apple Juice Kid has combined two of my very most favorite things, JAZZ and BEATS. In these two remix projects he has reworked some Miles Davis and Louie Armstrong classics. Some very cool, chill-out type stuff. Check it out.

Kind of Bloop

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the release of Miles Davis's masterpiece Kind of Blue, Andy Baio got together with 5 chiptune artists to produce, "Kind of Bloop An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue". This is the entire album, recreated in 8-bit sound (you know like the music from your old NES and Sega games). If you are a fan of the original album, jazz, chiptune, or music in general I highly suggest checking this out; it's really great.

You can pick it up for only 5 bucks right HERE

Davis and Dylan. Did You Know....?

Happy Memorial Day everyone. A little tidbit of information that I hadn't ever realized. Did you know that music legends Miles Davis and Bob Dylan were born two days apart from one another? (well and over a decade apart as well but nonetheless). Yep, that's right. Robert Allen Zimmerman (Bob Dylan) was born on May 24, 1941 and two days later (and 15 years earlier) Miles Davis was born on May 26, 1926. Pretty cool that two of the greatest and most highly regarded musicians of all time almost share a birthday. Oh well, maybe it's not as cool as I think it is. Anyway. I'll leave you with a few videos of the guys.

Some Videy-Yahs To Start You Off

In my opinion, two pretty damn good musicians (John Scofield and Jaco Pastorius) playing a pretty damn funky tune.



Also in my opinion, Miles is the man.



Buckethead is a sick. A lot of the time he just shreds and a good amount of his material sounds similar but I feel this song shows his versatility.



I think this is pretty awesome. Check out their music video for this too. Oh yeah and the band's name is Holy Fuck (not very commercially friendly but i think they are cool)



Some Old School Roots



Biggie Freestlye



Les Claypool is a wild man.



If you have the time, watch all of these videos from Bob Dylan's 1965 press conference. They are great.



Ohhhh The Dead.



Who would have thought?



These guys (Fleet Foxes) are finally getting the recognition they deserve. I'm happy for them



Vampire Weekend is another band i can't stop listening to.



Myself. White Castle.



I think this is going to take off in a few years. It's getting there with the iPhone, all the other touch phones, and the new touchscreen computer that just came out. Also I think it was CNN who had that touch screen map they used the night of the Presidential Election.



This thing on the other hand..I don't know what the hell Microsoft is doing. I know this is a parody but the Songsmith program is real.
