     Eh, you know what?
    I'm done trying to be smart. Now I'm just trying to be cool. Here's my new blog that is everything this one should have been: Crashpop.

     The Twombley Spiders
    The new six-song EP from my musical project, The Twombley Spiders, is out now and available for free downloading, thanks to the avant-garde French-Canadian record label, Notype. It's their one hundredth release, which they describe as "Great music for Sunday mornings and other such instances of lying on the futon and enjoying your time."

    It's out on a creative commons license, so you can download it! It's in English here or get the same songs with French text here, if you want that international flavor.

    I teamed up with Katey Sleeveless of Zine/Radio/Cassette-label fame for this one, she bangs the hell out of some drums, sings a bit and strums a guitar plus god knows what else when I wasn't looking.

    Hope you like it!

     On Random
    Ever get the feeling your iPod's shuffle shows favoritism to certain genres or artists? Here's why.

    And, an old article on what it means to cede the control of our musical tastes to the shuffle is here, both thanks to the always great Radio Open Source

     Metallica Binary Remix Project
    The Metallica Binary Remix Project is a way of reinterpreting musical notation and structure. Metallica songs are stripped down to their lyrics, and then the lyrics down to binary, and then using that binary as the structure for another piece.

    Why Metallica? Because Metallica is the sworn enemy of binary, ever since their choice to support the RIAA in its never ending quest for making record execs wealthy. Binary is what annoyed Metallica, so let's use their binary and feed it back into the system, ourobouros style.

    Anyone can make a binary remix, of any artist, in any style. Currently, the binary remix of "Freedom of Speech for the Dumb" is a ten minute long ambient piece; I intend to do a more abstract/IDM style binary remix of "Master of Puppets" sometime soon.

     Today!
    Should have posted this earlier, maybe? Sorry!

    < UPGRADE! BOSTON: ERYK SALVAGGIO >
    WHEN: June 1, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
    WHERE: Art Interactive, 130 Bishop Allen Drive, at the corner of Prospect Street, Cambridge. [Red Line to Central Square]
    Join us for a presentation by net artist Eryk Salvaggio followed by a
    dialogue between Eryk and Brooke A. Knight. As usual, the atmosphere will be warm and the fake oreos and conversation will flow.

    ABOUT ERYK SALVAGGIO: Called "The Harry Potter of the Digital Avant Garde" by the Dutch Press, Eryk Salvaggio has been creating internet art since he was 17 years old. His work has been compared to "a more human Andy Warhol," and strictly adheres to his own "6 Rules Toward a New Internet Art." This formula has led to articles in the New York Times* as well as mentions in ArtForum, alongside several international exhibitions and talks.

    Turbulence commissioned Salvaggio's "American Internet" in 2002, and he curated "Duchamp's Ideal Children's Children: Net.Art's Brat Pack" for Turbulence's Guest Curator series in 2003. He's currently working on "MySpaces," a piece about the projection of self onto social networking sites such as friendster and myspace, and a degree in New Media and Journalism at the University of Maine.

    Artist and educator BROOKE A. KNIGHT has been working with digital media for over a dozen years. His current interests include webcams, the landscape, and text in all forms. Knight is Assistant Professor in the Department of Visual and Media Arts at Emerson College, Boston. He received his MFA in photography from CalArts in 1995.
