Video (OT): Wii Fit - from the makers of 'Big Ass Table'

Sarcastic Gamer strikes again with their follow up to "Big Ass Table". This time they've put the new Wii Fit in their cross hairs:

Video(s): The Whip

Found these guys through Beatportal. I for one am glad that the whole electro/rock hybrid thing seems to be in resurgence over the past few years. There's just a certain energy seeing electronics performed by live acts in whatever context versus the static nature of most dj sets. No hate for the dj, some of my best friends are dj's.>;) It's just that it's very refreshing to hear those sawtooth leads and square wave blips in a little less clinical context. Maybe it's just me becoming more receptive once again because, at least in my part of the globe, live electronic acts seem to have taken a backseat to the "superstar" DJ yet again.:(

Divebomb - This seems to be their single that's making the rounds at the moment:



Muzzle No.1 - A bit more of an overtly rock track but damn it's been stuck in my head since I heard it:

A free (Beta) Spectrum Analyser: bs-spectrum

Surfing around yesterday I found this @ macmusic. "bs-spectrum" is a freeware Spectrum analyzer for both Windows and Mac.  On the Mac it's available in both AU and VST flavors.  I had a chance to poke around with it a little and it's pretty straight forward.  As with all utility software nothing fancy is expected.  They just do what they do.  My only complaints are that I wish it had a higher frequency resolution and the redraw seems a bit sluggish but keep in mind that this is freeware.  It's CPU overhead is negligible and for some reason I like that way the level meters are laid out.  It's simple and really easy on the eyes.  Well suited for across the room viewing.   I think it's worth at least checking out.

Spectrum analyzers are a great tool to have around for reference.  Especially, in apartment/bedroom situations where sometimes you don't get a true feel for what's going on in all the various frequencies.  Especially on the bottom end.  Remember this is beta software and although I haven't found any issues yet  use at your own peril.  While we are on the subject of Spectrum Analyzers, if you haven't tried out Inspector (PC and Mac) by Roger Nichol's Digital  I highly recomend it. It's great for when more detail is need.  It's free also.
