There’s not much that which need to be said about this mashup. Forget bands such as Pendulum, this awesome Beastie Boys vs. The Prodigy will blow you away.

Tron 1.5 Rise of The Virals: Soundtrack Available Online [Free]
Apparently Disney had already started work on ‘Tron 1.5′ in 1998. The soundtrack to that movie is now available online at Tron.fm.
In late 1998, I was commissioned to compile and produce the soundtrack for a sequel to the film “Tron”. A draft of the story had already been written and early filming had begun (as reported by ZDNet on July 27, 1999). As I understand it, the film was kept in great confidence with the producers as Pixar was still in negotiations with Disney about the responsibilities of the production teams.
“Rise Of The Virals” was a fantastic, but much darker storyline from the original — different from the “Into The Machine” pitch made to Disney by another party. It involved updating the ENCOM universe to a networked system (thanks to the Internet), but also created a darker world — full of programs abandoned as buggy systems (or “mutants”) and abused by corrupt users as viral systems. Furthermore, the story included the death of Flynn and presented questions about the digital life of programs lasting beyond the mortality of their creators — the users.”
Awesome Music Videos: Yeah Yeah Yeahs and DJ Tiesto
The Yeah Yeah Yeah certainly are making up for their less than stellar latest album ‘It’s Blitz’ with their awesome video clips. The latest is no exception to this, actually it’s lots better than anything they’ve done before so far and surely generates them many more sales.
Another great music video released last week was DJ Tiesto’s ‘I Will Be Here’. Although I am no big fan of what Tiesto has done over the last 8-9 years and still wished he had stayed this awesome DJ who took you on a 2- to 4 hours long musical journey, like he did in 1999 at Innercity (Rai, Amsterdam, NL), the new video is cool, especially the robotic dancing. Feel free to turn off the sound for this one though.

Johnny Cash Sings German
Maybe you’re an old boring sod like I am or maybe you just know to appreciate your bad asses music. In both cases you might enjoy the following tracks, especially if you understand German. If you have never heard of that thing called German, it’s a language. A language master Johnny Cash apparently knows how to sing in.
Tracks
- Besser so, Jenny-Joe
- Kleine Rosemarie
- In Virginia
- Wo ist Zuhause, Mama?
- Wer kennt den Weg? (Walk the line)
Cake Goes Solar
Cake goes solar for the recording of their next album. Hopefully the sun won’t hit them as hard as it did hit Muse.
Trent Reznor Chimes in. Should Artists Sell Their Music or Not?
Nine Inch Nails and online legend Trent Reznor once again had to share his opinion with the whole world and their 3 nephews. This time the fan of free distribution shared his opinion on whether artists should sell their music or not:
If you are an unknown / lesser-known artist trying to get noticed / established:
* Establish your goals. What are you trying to do / accomplish? If you are looking for mainstream super-success (think Lady GaGa, Coldplay, U2, Justin Timberlake) – your best bet in my opinion is to look at major labels and prepare to share all revenue streams / creative control / music ownership. To reach that kind of critical mass these days your need old-school marketing muscle and that only comes from major labels. Good luck with that one.
If you’re forging your own path, read on.
* Forget thinking you are going to make any real money from record sales. Make your record cheaply (but great) and GIVE IT AWAY. As an artist you want as many people as possible to hear your work. Word of mouth is the only true marketing that matters.
8-Bitified: The Prodigy
8-Bit music is the hype lately. Now The Prodigy became the victim of the hype.
NIN plays Cars with Numan
On Wednesday NIN brought Gary Numan on stage during their concert at the O2 Arena in London and played “Cars”.
Drowned In Sound editor Sean Adams was on scene and reported: “Just when you thought the soul-fucking audio-visual skulldigging duggery couldn’t get any better, a fascimilie of Trent wanders on stage, in the uniform of black jeans, black boots, black hair and a slighty faded black tee clinging to masculine curves. Trent looks up from his piano, grins like a four year old munching a mud pie and introduces ‘GARY NUMAN, everybody!’ They played ‘Metal’ ending with a lush synth duel before dropping a ‘Car(s)’-bomb on the 02 and the crowd, predictably, go frugging apeshit. Beer flies, sweat is flung and front to back people dumm-noo-noo-new-num along like they’re at Guilty Pleasures.”
