#DonnaSummer the Queen of Disco

Donna Summer was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach number one on the U.S. Billboard chart, and throughout her great career, has decorated her “trophy room” with 5-Grammys…an amazing talent, but most importantly, an amazing human being. We celebrate her life, and will continue to celebrate her music, and legacy.

App Review | Ohm

The iPhone 4 Music app in my opinion is great, its easy to use, clean, and overall gets the job done. However, like everything else in technology, there is always a way to improve or add new features. In comes the recently released Ohm app, the first project from Ohm Labs. This is a dope app to use in combination with the Music app and is mad useful for on-the-go listening. Ohm uses quick and easy controls including swipe to change songs, double tap screen to start or stop music, and one tap playlist creation. But the best feature is the ability for you to easily create a queue of any songs in any order from your music library. Instead of having to constantly re open your Music app to change the song to a different artist or album you can simply create a queue of songs to fit your mood for that moment. In addition, Ohm allows you to import, adjust, and create playlists very quickly and can be added straight to your streaming queue. If that isnt easy enough, Ohm features a one tap Tweet button that auto generates a custom “now playing” tweet for your quick sharing pleasure. We are looking forward to the Ohm Labs updates for this app which will hopefully feature a portrait function, video queuing, and other sharing abilities.

@Beastie Boys Bid Farewell to MCA

Adam Yauch, who helped make hip-hop a worldwide cultural force as one-third of the influential @Beastie Boys, has died after battling cancer. He was 47. The band’s publicist said in a statement that Yauch died in his native New York on Friday morning. Yauch, also a film director who co-founded the distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories and an organizer of several charitable concerts, including the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, was first diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his left salivary gland in 2009. Rest in peace. CLICK THE PIC for one of my favorite Beastie songs.

Just Days Until Our #Ohm #Music @AppStore release

After months of intense design work, we finally pulled the trigger on submitting our 1.0 Beta release to Apple’s App Store (more improvements to come shortly after!). Ohm Music is a music player app that we hope will take your on-the-go music listening experience to the next level. We’ve build in a number of improvements such as a dynamic queue to quickly build playlists on-the-go, gesture controls, playlist artwork and colors, and sleek artist collection pages to make  your existing iPod music library both more beautiful and more useful to you.   If all goes well we hope it will be out come mid next week. meanwhile, we’ve attached a few screenshots just to get you excited.. stay tuned!!

PS- if you have an Android phone, we’ll be releasing a very similar update on or around the same day, so no worries you will not be left out in the cold! :)

Follow along with them at http://g.co/projectglass as they share some of our ideas and stories. CLICK THE PIC to see the demo.

About the “Van Sessions”: Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers are a rock/country/soul band from San Francisco with a busy touring schedule. Between gigs they pass the time by playing cover songs in their van, recording them with an iPhone and posting them online for fun. They do, indeed, wear their seatbelts. For more about the band’s original music check out nickibluhm.com, iTunes, or any YouTube video not set in a van, or just come to a show the next time they drive to your town!

#New #Music: Victor EP by @whoszed & @OmarLinX

This new EP collaboration between beat-maker Zed’s Dead & rapper Omar Linx is advertised as ‘genre-bending’, and that couldn’t be closer to the truth. These 7 tracks synthesize nostalgic pop samples,  sharp rhymes, and heart-stopping dubstep beats into a seamless sonic creation. If you are partial to hip-hop, rap, or dubstep, and especially if you like all of the above, give it a listen. @Soundcloud widget embedded courtesy of Mad Decent or you can click the picture to download from Mediafire directly. Enjoy!
