Code Monkey. A Hymn for the Industry.

Jonathan Coultron is a singer and songwriter from NYC. His song Code Monkey has been around for some time but it took me until today to find it on thesixtyone.com. And it’s a fantastic song – a hymn for a whole industry. Check it out here and sing along

Cool. Band gets social to apply as Faith No More’s Support Act.

I love clever little ideas. The kind of ideas with a clear message, no agencies involved…just something to make you smile. This one is one of these ideas: For about 17 years now I am a fan of Faith No More. I almost cried when they made worldwide reunion tour earlier this year. As they have just announced their U.S. tour, L.A. based band called “Feast of Fetus” applied to play as their support act. How?

Simply by writing a song which is basically a plea with the Prog Rock Gods. Enter your twitter username and password and you send a twitter message together with the song to Faith No More’s band members Roddy Bottum and Mr Gould. Nice, funny and hopefully effective (via FNM Blog).

But only if you support Feast of Fetus.

Gaming. The very, very, very cool new DJ Hero trailer.

Okay, my next Wii purchase will be this: Activision’s DJ Hero is going to be launched on Oct 27th. And I just found this extremely groovy trailer from Visual FX studio Framestore, London. Looks like serious fun and a cool presentation (via Creativity Online).

Crazy. Meet a Belarusian Media Mix.

welikeAnd now for something completely different: Advertising in the post-Soviet world (for the kids: the Soviet Union was…okay, forget that). The Prodigy just toured Belarus. Their gig at the Dinamo stadium in Minsk was advertised for, beyond other media, on eggs, which were sold in local stores. Ummm…I guess, you got to target your customers where they are, right?

Whatever. Remix something somewhere somehow.

Okay, this is maximum idiotic. Jesse Stills has created this piece of Remix-Mashup-Ambient-Locationbased-GPS-Whatever to do something. I don’t know what it does. But it is digital and weird. (Via Createdigitalmusic)

Nike SB. Today was a good day.

On days like these I feel like a granddaddy talking to his grandparents about the music back in the days. Nike SB has just published a very, very cool short clip for the launch of Paul Rodriguez’s third shoe Zoom P-Rod III. It features skater god Rodriguez, his shoes and…Ice Cube. To all kids younger than 28: Ice Cube was a gangster rapper (a musicial style which was pretty popular in the mid 1990s) back in the days. His 1993 hit ‘Today was a good day’ was cut to make it fit into prime time TV and his short appearance gives the skater story a nice twist.

Well done, Nike. You made me think of the good old days when we still sang songs about dough, bling and AK-47s. So romantic! :-)
