Awesome Music

Set to music by Manabe Takayuki, Sugimoto Kousuke’s seemingly endless The TV Show will blow your mind; it’s an independent effort by Kousuke, who is a self-taught animator.

Pass Labs’ new X260.5 is a 260-watt mono-block amplifier in a manageable size; the high power A/B amplifier features Super-Symmetry topology, which reduces distortion and noise 100x.

Minimalist but by no means musically impaired, Thomas Mascall’s Touchtable concept is 1/8 the size of a DJ setup; the turntable can create sample loops, cue points, and wireless battles.

Life is just awesomer with a soundtrack: NASA’s JSC remixes Space Shuttle Atlantis’ ascent video to eclectic music that is part BSG, part Lord of the Rings and part Lord of the Dance.

MintPass’ Mint Cube music player concept mixes minimalism with good ol’ analog UI: the 2″x2″x2″ gadget is not only covered with buttons but gauges for battery, volume, and frequency.

Canon vs. Nikon becomes Capulet vs. Montague with Nikon Girl, a hilarious music video that recasts the classic feud of lens & bodies as Romeo & Juliet; warning: slightly NSFW.

Tonal but not tone-deaf, the BlakRoc Camaro celebrates the collaborative BlakRoc album; it sports tinted windows, smoked taillights, 22″ Lexani rims, and a 500 W amp w/subwoofer.

Best seen and heard in the video above, the Bliptronic 5000 is an LED synthesizer that is simple in concept yet awesomely creative: it can be tethered to an infinite number of Bliptronics.

Yoko Ono takes an avant garde-axe to John Lennon and company with this brilliantly hilarious Rock Band Beatles parody, which envisions freshman Fab Four playing Call of Duty 4.

Beelzebub has an Animal put on drums for me. The Muppets turn in an epic, monstrosity-filled ensemble rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, complete with all the flourishes of Queen’s 1975 rock opera classic.

Sing in the next ten years with NME’s Top 100 Greatest Albums of the Decade; starting from January 2000 to present day, it includes everything from The Killers to Snoop Dogg.

Simon Panrucker admits that Looping Around The House isn’t perfect, but kudos (and donations) for the effort: he managed to break several things in his parent’s house as he made this.

Designed for MP3 mixing, the Touch DJ is a serious DJ app that features visual mixing and split mode; it won’t work with iTunes, but a free desktop app is included to load tracks.

Dreams of 20-sided mana-draining fairies now dance in our head thanks to Monster Manual, a music video by Mixel PIxel dedicated to AD&D; it’s animated by the prolific Dan Meth.

Skullcandy does a full-court press with its NBA Player Series headphones; each pair of cans rocks the colors and name of one of eight NBA players, including Kobe, LeBron, and DWill.

Aptly set to Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” (also stop-motion), watch as a Suzuki GSX-R assembles itself; it took 30 hours to film, but the ending is the coolest: the bike ran on first start-up.
