Daft Punk Follow-up and Bass Porn

First, Music Thing is reporting that the touch screens from Daft Punk’s Grammy performance were Lemur controllers, although it agrees with me that they were miming along with the track.  I thought the pads looked a little monochromatic compared to the units from the Jazzmutant page, but it’s an interesting insight.  I still want one.

Beat-up BassI also wanted to include a little bass porn today. This comes courtesy of the Inside Home Recording blog - they produce a podcast I listen to fairly regularly. I just love basses like this because, as the writer put it, “it’s a player’s bass—some collectors would weep at its condition.” It’s been played and used well, and it’s still holding up and making music. These are as much heirlooms as musical instruments - as long as whoever inherits it keeps playing it.
