![Concert Record: Béla Fleck - The Africa Project
Mar 8, 2010 / The Plaza Theatre
If you enjoyed his ‘Throw Down Your Heart’ DVD, you’ll certainly love this concert series. If you ever wondered what bluegrass would sound like over African rhythms, this is the concert to go to!
[disclaimer: Like the DVD, this concert is just about as much (if not more) about the showcased African artists as it is about Béla. Think of it as ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ but in Africa.]](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz0sm7Vd381qz5sr7o1_500.png)

Nacional Records Sampler 2009: The New Sounds of Latin Music -
I found this free album on the Amazon MP3 shop. It’s got artists like Aterciopelados, IMS, Sara Valenzuela, Juana Molina…good stuff; trust me. I wouldn’t exactly classify the last track [Manu Chao’s ‘Clandestino’] as new since that’s a pretty old song but other than that, it’s a pretty fresh collection.
Check it out and learn a little about these excellent bands from Spanish speaking countries.

What are the ‘Music Industries’? -
A proposal to refine the media’s use of the ‘music industry.’ By separating and using ‘recording industry’ appropriately, we can better define who’s really hurting and who the RIAA really represents here.
22 pieces by artists from around the world, each piece created with just 140 characters of code. -
This link has been making the rounds on all the geeky sites. So I’m passing it around, particularly because I was surprised to come across Steve Reich’s Piano Phase.
It makes sense that it’d be pretty easy to program a computer to achieve this effect, written as such:
f={|t|Pbind(\note,Pseq([-1,1,6,8,9,1,-1,8,6,1,9,8]+5,319),\dur,t)};Ptpar([0,f.(1/6),12,f.(0.1672)],1).play
Concert Record: El Ten Eleven
Dec 3, 2009 / Will’s Pub
These guys rocked the house and the crowd wouldn’t allow them off stage (with the power of cheer, not physically you retard!). You’d be insane to not catch these guys live. Thanks for coming to Orlando guys!
