The Front Burner

The Latest Show:

This week see standing sound waves with a light bulb, 
go green with a trumpet in the bathroom,
an angry looking noise maker and 
an itty bitty robot with a big attitude.

I apologize for the audio sync problems. I'm trying to find the parameter that causes Vimeos transcoder to drift. -Jer

Our latest shows, moderately edited, on Vimeo.com

Contests and Activities in progress NOW

Win Jeri's Bluetooth Chicken by playing "Still Alive" on the GHX!! 

Do you just LOVE Jonathan Coulton?  Of course you do, he's one of us...too smart to be a "cool musician."

And here's your chance to actually out-nerd him by playing one of his songs on an instrument that he can't play...YET.* 

You'll need:

• A Guitar Hero or Rockband controller for XBOX
• A mic or webcam
• A copy of the GHX software by our Proto-Scientiste friend Thom Robertson.  The free demo version will work fine.
• The chart that the Fat Man has prepared for you (click below.)
   

Record your rending, er, rendition of Still Alive in either video or audio and send it to us before Jeri posts her version

Please Do Not Be Fearful.  We're not looking for "musical talent."  Play the tune in a way that entertains us, or that's fun for you.  This is a safe place to stretch your limits and be goofy.  If anybody laughs at you in any but a loving way, know this:  That person's stock will go down in our eyes, and yours will go up.

 And hey, you might just be The Talented Winner.  Remember, if George can win a trophy at a demo party, you can win a trophy for a musical performance.  

Here is the inventor of the GHX, getting down with some Duran Duran.

*(JoCo did sign Fat's Guitar Hero controller when they went out for beer in Austin, but that's another story.)
