Gibson owns your Guitar Hero Controller

Whoa! So it finally happened (over a week ago, actually). Gibson is now suing major game retailers for selling those Gibson-esque Guitar Hero controllers, after previously attempting to stop Activision Inc. from fabricating the controllers in the first place. If you haven't noticed, Guitar Hero has cranked the controller versions of many signature Gibson guitars including the Flying-V, the X-Plorer, and most notibly the Les Paul.

Scion Sampler Vol 21: IHEARTCOMIX Remixed

Speaking of Ocelot, the most recent of Scion's mixtapes is actually Franki Chan's evil bidding.  This mix is a collection of tracks from Chan's label, IHEARTCOMIX, which would include artists such as Ocelot, HEARTSREVOLUTION, Death Set and more.  It would definitely do you some good to check it out.

By the way, if anyone's lucky enough to be in Austin tonight there's a HUGE event by IHEARTCOMIX and Mad Decent with a line-up that would blow anyone's mind.

New Ocelot Mixtape

Looks like our pretty kitty friends, Ocelot, made this exxxclusive mix for No Love Lost Records, featuring a couple remixes of their recently released Lo Sforzo track plus a lot more hard thumpin' electro house goodness.

I especially like their mysterious "Untitled" track, and their remix of Razorlight's "America".  Amazing stuff.  Find a link to the mix and its full tracklist on their myspace.

A Korg MS-10 on your DS

Via Music Thing

I know. What the ef, right? Among the clutter of "meh" music games on portable consoles stands an application to be reckoned with. Modeled after the legendary Korg MS-10 synth, this "game" has a 6-track sequencer, two sound engines, Reason-style patching and the ability to play wirelessly with friends. It sounds like it would waste more of my time than tetris (maybe) and hell, it might just kick the crap out've that Chocopoolp thing for beat sketching on the go.

But hey, you tell me.

Unfortunately, this baby is one of them "Japan Only" games. Someone selling a Japanese DS?

*Update 03/19/08: Looks like the game WILL be available in other regions, w00t!
