    Rolando 2: Majestic Shores game play video. The first game was an iPhone classic and this looks an even more accomplished effort.

    Who I settled with for all my domain names

    After a lot of searching about best web hosts and checking out Lifehacker articles, I finally settled for 123-reg who convinced me with fair prices and a fluid website.

    I used to have a hard time finding this sort of service. Websites should be fun to make. That and connecting to the entire world is a great experience, and I want whatever that supports my site to be nice and easy to use.

    And it seems I’ve found one that did everything I needed, and explained it in nice idiot terms so I could concentrate on being creative.

    It’s nice not to think when using a site like this. Call me a sucker for a blue website.

    MLR, regarded one of the best Monome apps, is demonstrated in the video here.

    What is even more exciting is that all Monome apps can be emulated on an Akai APC40, and our studio is getting one very soon.

    Talking of APC40s, I’ve started a new blog at http://APCtuts.com which intends to be a one-stop resource for all things APC. Subscribe if you’re joining the DJing revolution.

    Radiohead responsible for surge in vinyl sales?

    inrainbows

    With the release and hype surrounding the 2007 Radiohead release In Rainbows, die hard fans (of which there are many, including myself) were keen to get the box set for £40. Unlike later experiments by Nine Inch Nails, the only options were digital copies or the full box set which included CDs, digital photographs, bonus tracks, two 12” vinyl records and an art book, and it seemed many fans I knew bought this regardless of whether they had a record player or not.

    So what happens when records are put in the hands of self-confessed music aficionados like Radiohead fans? They get a record player either cheap, from Freecycle or ask their Dad for one. Then probably go and buy a load more vinyl.

    According to the L.A. Times Music blog, american vinyl sales jumped up 90% from 2007 and 2008. The figure continues to rise, with 1 million being sold so far in 2009 compared to 701,000 at the same point last year, with predictions from Soundscan suggesting 2.8 million vinyl records will be sold by the end of the year (note these are figures for the U.S.).

    Can we underestimate the effect Radiohead had on vinyl music culture? Considering they are one of the most respected and historic bands in the western music world, I think not.

    Demonoid is "removed from internet"

    demonoid

    One of the largest torrent trackers after the Pirate Bay, has for the second time in fourteen months appeared to be removed from the internet today. Demonoid.com had a huge seeding base and thousands of illegally shared files being traded, and was first taken down by the then admin Deimos in April 2008, to return six days later with a new admin.

    The current reason for unannounced downtime has not been revealed, but the current Wikipedia entry for Demonoid claims that the site is down in eleven countries and:

    …seems to be due to the fact that Demonoid’s IP space appears to have been removed from the global routing tables.

    Are the music industry’s RIAA, BPI or film and gaming leaders getting involved here? Is it a further ripple from the Pirate Bay hearings this year? What the hell are the global routing tables, the fucking real life matrix?

    UPDATE: Demonoid is already back. Remember, don’t take files from strangers.
