Adam Lambert disses Susan Boyle?
by Roberta Ferguson on Feb.23, 2010, under articles
Uh oh! Apparently Adam Lambert has a little bit of a bone to pick with Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle.
When speaking to a magazine recently the American Idol singer said that he didn’t like her debut album. Prior to that, he said that the UK is more tolerant with homosexuality and androgyny.
Speaking to the leading gay monthly, the performer said: “I just think that you guys in the UK are way ahead in terms of tolerance. It’s really interesting. In the UK and in Europe it’s less of an issue because people are more comfortable with their sexualities.
“And not just the gay thing, but even playful things, like the concept of androgyny. That is something that generally many Americans are uncomfortable with.”
He later went on to discuss Susan Boyle, who kept him off the top spot in the charts. He said: “I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible. Wild Horses is the one that just made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it, I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song!”

Kesha was only 13-years-old when she performed Radiohead’s “Karma Police” in her High School talent show. Back then, you can see that she was just as normal as the next kid, and even dorky.
This was only nine years ago! It’s amazing what some weight loss, hair dye and glitter will do for your career. See the performance, after the jump! (continue reading…)

Robot drumming machine with a Wiimote
by Stephen VanDyke on Feb.22, 2010, under articles
Popsci has a really cool article about Jazari, a drum machine robot thing that Patrick Flanagan built so he could play some drums and other percussion instruments with his Wii remotes:
A musician has harnessed the power of two Nintendo Wiimotes to become a cyborg percussionist with the robo-band Jazari. His playing of one drum machine can evoke an automated response from another, so that he can go around the drum circle in a beautiful display of human-robot improvisation.
The man behind the machine, Patrick Flanagan, is a composer who cites music theory, music cognition, and machine learning as the three “chin-stroking disciplines” that influence his work. He created Jazari with a nod to Al-Jazari, a polymath of the Arab world in the 13th century who supposedly created the world’s first robot band.
I think he built something really cool, but dances like a white guy. Watch a video of the bot in action after the jump. (continue reading…)

Remember when we introduced you to this illustrious and yummy looking pickle? The pickle gained such popularity when fans pit it against Nickelback, in their Facebook fan page. Now Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger wants to shut it down. No fair.
The pickle received more friends than the rock group and reportedly, the page starter received a note from Kroeger himself, stating that the page is getting shut down.
Real or fake? Oh yes, and salute the pickle.
