Slim “Interstate Medicine” – pop/altrock album with great vocals & captivating lyrics

There are times that you just want to listen to some kind of noisy music, but not exactly loud; something that would lift up your mood, but not exactly to dance; something that lets you pump up some blood through your veins but not exactly to make you filled with adrenaline. Filled with 12 tracks that will sure to keep your head bobbing, Interstate Medicine will let you relate to its song's lyrics by the band leader's Michael Baker. Let his voice be stuck in your head! We couldn't exactly put how they sound into words, but here's what Michael wrote: I crank my amps louder than Tom Petty, but not as loud as Cannibal Corpse. I'm wordier than Jane's Addiction, but not as yappy as e.e. cummings. I'm taller than Prince, but not as tall as Krist Novoseli.

SharePod – change, back-up & share the files on your iPod

Have you ever found yourself needing to back-up files from your iPod? I mean, admit it, most of us don’t really like storing large music and video files in our hard drive. And since most of the new iPod models contain large memory (to date, up to 160 GB) that we tend to rely on its capacity. I have personally experienced losing 50 GB worth of files in my iPod and I’m telling you it wasn’t an experience I want to remember; I haven’t recovered everything until now. So, to avoid file loss and to have extra perks than that of other iPod-reader softwares, download SharePod.

Bankai “Quarter Circle Punch” – a real electro feast for your ears!

If you think Bankai is a word that sounds like a positively explosion, then you and Will Dayble, the creative mind behind the electronic music Bankai, have one thing in common. According to Will, the stage name is from an anime series called Bleach, where characters perform the Bankai, a sort of “final ultimate power realease”. The Bankai results in huge explosions and, it goes without saying, sends the opponent off to lick his wounds. That exact same power is probably what you’d get after hearing to Bankai’s music.

[TED Talk] Arthur Bejamin does “Mathemagic”

Mathematics is really hard... not for Arthur Benjamin. In one TED Conference, Arthur demonstrated that math, no matter how many numbers and operations involved, can be done in just a snap of a finger. He doesn’t only love math, he also loves magic. Adding both together, Arthur came up with a very wonderful science, “Mathemagic.” “It makes math fun and interesting,” Arthur testifies on that and this video is actually a proof of his passion to make people see numbers and operations differently and not as the traditional curse bearer in grade sheets.
