even bona fide guitar heroes like our own gary tijuana could probably learn a thing or two at george lynch's . please note that the dancing george lynch on the lower left is more than a piece of awesome graphics work - it's one of a of guitar hero sculptures, not unlike that you've been hearing about.

65 playstation 2s as a linux computational cluster
just as the title might indicate, i have no idea .
The NCSA has constructed a PlayStation 2 Linux cluster as a test bench for scientific computation on "toy" hardware. The cluster consists of 65 compute nodes, 4 user login and development nodes, and 1 prototype node for software installation tests. All the nodes run the Sony Linux distribution for PlayStation 2.maybe will clarify things for you. i'm still in the dark, but that rack of ps2s looks cool...

christopher walken, evil ping pong enthusiast
an evil mastermind who also loves ping pong? that's right up christopher walken's alley. the movie is called and in case you're wondering, it's indeed a comedy, written by two of the guys who do reno 911. filming starts in june. sounds perfect.
jazz dump
i've been converting some of my fave jazz records to mp3s. it's been fun. straightfoward and enjoyable stuff. here're some selections...from the kicker. 1967. milestone.
from happenings. 1966. blue note. hutcherson plays vibraphone. he was only 25 when this came out.
from doors. 1972. cobblestone. slow, moody stuff from the blind saxman.
from natural essence. 1969. blue note. washington's lead sax playing makes this record really excellent. there is almost no info about this guy online. it'd be nice to see a full discogrpahy. he wins the age contest by being only 23 when this record came out.

i saw play last night at in san francisco. the band is and after seeing them play, it makes even more sense. best show i've seen in a while. the songs are very simple. mostly acoustic guitar-driven and augmented by sparse drums, xylophone, piano, and bass. the lyrics have a sweet kind of pessimism with repeating themes of wind, being carried, royalty, cherubs, and dogs. it's all delivered with a rapturous energy. a is coming out. highly recommended.

firefox lets you spot and avoid riaa music on amazon
the firefox extension is pretty sick. quarby was showing me the wild things it can do, like find any mp3 file linked on a page and display a flash player next to it so you can listen to it embedded on the page. ( has all the greasemonkey scripts you could ever dream of, including the mp3 player).
the site has a great writeup about installing and configuring greasemonkey so it will alert you of any riaa music on amazon, in case you're trying to avoid supporting the riaa's heavy-handed tactics (drm, analog hole, etc etc). cool way to get the most from the "internet experience."

"4 freaks"
mistah fab with a HUGE mac dre shirt
this new remix of dj shadow's "3 freaks" with keak da sneak, turf talk, mistah fab, and droop-e is super duper hyphy! too bad keak didn't drop new vocals. fab's verse is especially great.
new film featuring bjork
so there's this new film called drawing restraint 9 which features bjork. seems pretty normal. it makes lots of sense and i definitely get it. the synopsis should bring y'all right up to speed:
The core idea of Drawing Restraint 9 is the relationship between self-imposed resistance and creativity, a theme it symbolically tracks through the construction and transformation of a vast sculpture of liquid Vaseline, called “The Field”, which is molded, poured, bisected and reformed on the deck of the ship over the course of the film.

dj ayres' freestyle mix
if you're in a silly, nostalgic mood, peep this by nyc-based dj ayres. it's free to download. this is not freestyle rap, it's the popular pop-dance genre from the 80s. y'know, lisa lisa, cover girls, exposé, etc. fun stuff. while you're at it, check out the mash-up and remix goodness at affilated site, .
pc cassette deck
i'm definitely gonna get this . fits into the standard slot like a cd burner. i can't wait to digitize the songs i taped off the radio when i was twelve. and the drunken freestyle sessions from college. actually, i'll probably just use it to play cassettes through my pc. fun.
(thanks, janella.)
larry coryell
like a lot of veteran jazz musicians, made some cool early records and by the mid-seventies was off in smooth/fusion stinktown. coryell also has the dubious distinction of being one of the originators of jazz fusion. back in the early days, legendary drummer joined coryell on his second record, coryell. the resulting songs were loud, driving, and funky. "no one really knows" is a carole king-ish jazz-pop number until purdie comes in with a crazy drum break. mayhem ensues. 1969. vanguard.listen to

gettin' head while i'm swervin'
guys put together another funny hip-hop "digital short" for last night's saturday night live. why, it's natalie portman gangsta rapping, of course! it's not as great as "lazy sunday" (and it's essentially the same joke), but it get points for using funny interpolations of sir mix-a-lot's "posse on broadway" and several nwa songs (it's an homage to eazy's "no more questions"). UPDATE: the video has been pulled from youtube, due to copyright infringement. you can still catch it at .
And the Oscar goes to...Mark Cuban?
I figured some Oscar fanfare would be necessary to display here on Sneakmove. One interesting fact is that is up for two Oscars, one for which is a contender in six categories, including Best Picture and which is up for a Best Documentary Feature. to read all about it.This guy is awesome!

more hawthorne heights silliness
velvet rope has a copy of from victory records to the hawthorne heights street team, asking kids to go to record stores and hide copies of the ne-yo cd. ne-yo is hawthorne heights' chief competitor for ths week's number one sales slot. unbelievable!
As for Ne-yo, the name of the game is to decrease the chances of a sale here. If you were to pick up handful of Ne-yo CDs, as if you were about to buy them, but then changed your mind and didn't bother to put them back in the same place, that would work. Even though this record will be heavily stocked and you might not be able to move all the stock, just relocating a handful creates issues: Even though the store will appear to be out of stock, the computer will see it as in stock and not re-order the title once it sells down and then Ne-Yo will lose a few sales later in the week

short films, cool places, completely addictive
i was recently shown the site , and promptly spent a few hours being unable to stop watching. it's a collection of short user-made films focusing on various neighborhoods. most of the hip spots have been done (williamsburg, the mission, hollywood) but the clips about the quirky small places are where the magic happens. the can be hard to find, so here's the direct link.a recently deleted sf craigslist ad might have been interesting to aspiring filmmakers. maybe send them your demo reel anyway?
TurnHere is a new online video travel portal revolutionizing the short travel documentary and combining the two hottest trends on the web today: video and navigation. We are based in Emeryville.(thanks, sizod.)
We are looking for smart experienced filmmakers to create 3-minute character-driven internet films about San Francisco's neighborhoods (and other Bay Area locales). The ideal filmmaker has a feel for the street and the off-beat.
Knows how to find "tour guides" that can bring flavor and fun to the screen while giving an outsider an inside look at hip hidden gems in diverse hoods. Your movie will capture the feel of the neighborhood and will be interesting for locals as well as others across the country to watch online.
