The Dave Brubeck Quartet Performs at the Apple Store in New York

Last night, at the Apple Store in SoHo, I experienced what can only be described as a “wonderful treat.” About a week ago I had been perusing the SoHo store’s website, looking for information on dropping off a broken MacBook. Eventually I found what I was looking for, but towards the bottom of the page I also noticed a very recognizable image. It was the album art of one of my all time favorite albums, Time Out, by Dave Brubeck.

Reading on, I realized that the Apple Store in SoHo would be hosting a special event in which Dave Brubeck himself, along with the members of his current quartet would be making an appearance. I first thought, well this is cool… even if he doesn’t perform; it would be great to see him. So I did my homework and decided to cover the event for MacCreate.com.

Upon my arrival at the Apple store, I began an evening of surprises and win-falls that I like to describe as “everything’s coming up Micah.” It had turned out that my MacBook was ready on the same evening, so I would only have to make the one trip back to the store (yeah right, I’ll probably be back again next week). Not only was the laptop ready, but also Apple decided to pay for the parts, and so instead of my repair bill coming to $180 it was only $15. Thanks Apple!

I just ran into this music video on the web. The band ran around to different locations where they knew they would be recorded on surveillance video cameras and performed. Then, because of England's version of the US Freedom of Information Act, they were entitled to the footage. Pretty cool idea I guess!

Here is some more info at The Future of Media blog.

Alex Mauer Releasing 8-Bit Music on NES Carts

I find this sort of thing very amusing. An artist by the name of Alex Mauer has been releasing "LPs" on 8-Bit NES cartridges. He is also involved in the Playpower.org project, which I also find pretty interesting.

 

Enjoy
