iPhone applications

Not sure which iPhone App I should download. Thu, 2009-04-30 20:13 | by Carles

Just traded in my Razr for an iPhone. My 2 year plan finally expired. My parents wouldn't let me break out 'family plan' contract since I used up all of our minutes + text messages + data.

N e ways...Been trying to research iPhone applications 2 download.

APP #1: Mad Decent App
Saw this DJ app by the popular subsidiary of Down Town Records, MAD DECENT.
The popular DJ bro 'Diplo' smokes 'a blunt' and 'explains how the app works. I think it just takes zany sounds that they sample, and allows you to make 'sick beats.'

I think this is how Diplo produced the popular song 'Paper Planes (ft M.I.A.)". He basically just took tons of zany sounds and 'made them big.' Think this might be a new electro model for the startup myspace DJ duo that me and my bro are starting out. I think they call it 'the Mario Paint Musical Composer' style of producing beats.

Wish Nintendo would turn this in2 some sort of 'iPhone app'/sell it for the Wii/Nintendo DS.

APP #2: Cocaine App
I also saw this really kewl iPhone application that allows me to do blow off my iPhone. Not sure if the cocaine is real, or if the app lets me network with local drug dealers to 'get the best price' on a kilo.

Can't believe my dream finally came true. [see previous memorable post]

I heard that in our modern world, bands no longer need to 'make albums/songs.' All they really need to do is create iPhone apps. Scared that we will only need iPhones/iPods to run applications/musical programs in the future. Think the future of the computer is 'somewhere between lappy and iPhone gadget.'

Just want to build the perfect 'app' that is 'fun' AND 'useful', kind of like an iPhone.

Does n e 1 know what 'apps' is short for?
What kind of phone do yall have, and do u have any kewl apps/games on it like 'Snake'?

h8 when memes are mrktng gimmicks Sat, 2009-03-07 13:30 | by Carles

I was recently browsing the internet, and I saw this meme being blogged/blurbed about in multiple outlets. In the video, a group of free-spirited moms without kids who formed a band instead play the song "Kids" by MGMT on multiple iPhone applications.

Is this just some sort of 'marketing gimmick'? Did some ad agency pick 'girls who look interesting' to promote Apple/applications/the band MGMT? Should MGMT sue these people for using their song without their consent? Am I supposed to think that this is 'cool' or that it is 'oddly entertaining'? Should part of me want to 'cum' with these broads because they are 'talented and beautiful'?

N e ways... their cover is pretty poopy. It sort of sounds like 8 year olds who just got a 3 octave keyboard 'learning that they love music and want to make it for the rest of their livez bc they did a cover of a popular song.' Makes me kinda sad. Just wish there wasn't this space on the internet where products could be showcased in what appears to be 'an organic cauldron of buzz', but it's really just people looking 2 sell u something.

Is "Kids" by MGMT going to be used for the next 200 years in the background of commercials that need 2 be 'upbeat'?

h8 our modern world.
I can't tell if videos like this are 'real moments of beauty' or just gimmick marketing.

Do yall know if this act of puberty is authentic, or just something designed by marketing firms?

Linkin Park makes an iPhone game for their angsty + minority + gamer fan base Wed, 2010-03-31 15:57 | by Carles

Linkin Park is one of the most popular bands on the planet since they sing songs that angsty teens can identify with. Whether you are a minority, an AZN, a gamer, or a bro who drinks Mountain Dew alone in his room that is dimly lit with the glow of a computer screen, Linkin Park has become the ultimate prophet / psychologist / bro of a band.

It seems like Linkin Park made an iPhone app to 'appeal to their fan base.' It seems to be some sort of 'vintage' 8 bit video game played on an iPhone. iPhone is apparently the new Gameboy for tweens. Bands are always encouraged by 'social media experts' to do something new and exciting that gets ur fan base 'excited.' I think their fans like to play video games, but probably ones where you kill other humans, or maybe ones where you travel to other planets to kill aliens.

According to the trailer, the 8-bit thing comes into play musically, because the game "features original and 8-bit versions of some of their greatest hits." It also references the band's gaming roots, which include a lot of standards, according to Shinoda.

"My bandmates and I grew up playing games like 'Metroid,' 'Donkey Kong,' 'Zelda,' 'Space Invaders,' 'Mega Man' and 'Rygar,'" he said. "We wanted this game to have the feel of a vintage game, and a big part of it was the music."

Should I buy an iPhone so I can be a better Linkin Park fan?

Is Linkin Park the modern U2?
Do u want to hear 8 bit versions of Linkin Park songs?
Should Linkin Park become an indie 8 bit band?
Whatever happened to Crystal Castles wave 8 bit dance music blog house?
Are Linkin Park fans iPhone users, or are they poor tweens who are lucky if they got an iPod touch for Christmas?
Are iPhones the new Game Gears / Game Boys?
Is Linkin Park the most innovative band of the 21st century?
Should indie bands make video games?
