“In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. This was in the midst of Lennon’s “bed-in” phase, during which John and Yoko were staying in hotel beds in an effort to promote peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries traditional pen sketches by James Braithwaite with digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.” – current

Lifehacker has a great tutorial on Creating Custom iPhone Ringtones For Free.

“Apple has introduced a simple and free way to create and sync your own custom ringtones to the iPhone using GarageBand (i.e., Mac only).
The first thing you’ll need to do, if you haven’t already, is download and install the latest update of GarageBand from Software Update (at the time of this writing, that’s version 4.1.1). Once you’ve installed and restarted your computer, turning any song on your computer to a ringtone is a breeze. Here’s how it works.

1. If you’re using a song from your iTunes library, just open GarageBand, open iTunes, and simply drag and drop the song from iTunes to a new track in GarageBand.
2. Now click the Cycle Region button, which will activate the region loop tool.
3. Now adjust the length of the region to the section of the song you want to export to iTunes as a ringtone (40 seconds long or less).
4. Finally, when you’ve got everything set the way you want it, just go to the menu bar and click Share -> Send Ringtone to iTunes. GarageBand will automatically convert the song to the proper format and sync it to your iTunes library as a Ringtone.

Simple, no? Likewise, if you prefer to create ringtones of your own music, just build your own tracks in GarageBand and repeat steps two through four. If you’re a Mac owner, creating custom ringtones for your iPhone just became dead simple.”

I’m looking for suggestions on some great new DUB to add to my small collection I have. If you have any suggestions on some great DUB that I should have in my music vault let me know. I’m open to all suggestions so don’t be shy. Please post.

I’m spending the evening, oops it’s morning now, listening to Global Underground’s Synchronised. Buy it. You’ll like it. Or buy it for a friend. Friends like gifts too. :)

I think the Quiet Songs album by Aisha Duo is a great album to start your day with while sipping a coffee outside as the fog lifts from your mind. Quiet Songs is enjoyable any time for that matter. Try it. You’ll like it. ;)
