Beaterator Rocks the Playstation Portable !!!
(download)
Beaterator - the new Rockstar Games title for PSP, developed in conjunction with megastar Hip-Hop producer Timbaland, is currently playing on my PSP. One of the reasons I recently upgraded to a PSP-3000 (for the built in mic). It's not a game as such but it's pretty much as close as you can get right now to a fully fledged music production studio on a gaming console. Surprisingly easy to use with great video tutorials and help built right into the package. This probably won't be a bestseller but its certainly the best of its class - production values are superb as you'd expect from Rockstar/Timbaland - it looks and feels great - the controls are bang on, and once your over the slight learning curve you can produce decent sounding tracks in a matter of minutes.
Check out all the features here - BeateratorAnd check this little ditty (above) - I knocked it up and exported straight from the handheld - no post production at all, this is how it came out of the machine - I just converted it from WAV to mp3 before posting here.

I've recently decided to upgrade my old PSP to a PSP 3000 - it was a tough decision in light of the recent PSP Go release - I'll be detailing how I made the decision in a later post - in the meantime, check out the hardware spec comparison on the Video Games Blogger site.

This is an addictive puzzle from the Londonist blog - what London entity does each of the elements in the table represent? There's some patterns and relationships just like in the real periodic table - look at the comments on their page to get some ideas based on what others have cracked so far...

Legendary Music Shop: Macaris Musical Instruments of London

I bought a guitar here recently and it was a great experience - the guy who runs the place spent about 3 hours with me, helping me try out stuff and explaining all the voodoo etc. The place was filled with curios like 6 necked guitars and old valve amps that his dad had made back in the day. They still manufacture their own custom pedal effects that are sought after by today's rock and pop bands - Noel Gallagher had been in that week to order some of the pedals - hopefully prepping for his new solo venture? Excited.

These little mammas are way too sexy - gimme gimme - I'll probably scribble a review of the setup and sound quality at some point - interested in how they handle acoustic guitar and voice thru desktop production software - acoustic guitar is always a bit tricky. Blue official site is here.
