Huxley’s book The Doors of Perception is a recollection of his ingesting of mescalin for the first time. The drug has been used for centuries by the native peoples of southwest America and Mexico, and is thought to be a catalyst for communion with deities. Instead of being another treatise on the positive aspects of drug consumption, this writing suggests that we can take a look at our daily rituals and ask ourselves ‘What am I doing?’ Most people are so preoccupied that they miss the wondrous beauty of life itself; the amazing depths of color, the richness of sounds, and the endless delights of touch and taste.

77 Boadrum was an event held in New York, and organized by the Boredoms, on the seventh of July, 2007. The idea was to set up 77 drum sets, spiraling out from the four Boredoms in the center. They would begin a rhythm and pass it along to the next drummer on the right until it reached drummer number 77. I wasn’t able to observe this epic event in total, as nearly 5,000 others were able, so perhaps I’m not the best authority on the subject.

The AirPiano is an innovative musical interface which allows the playing and controlling of software instruments simply by moving your hands in the air. Above the AirPiano is a virtual matrix of keys and faders, each assigned with MIDI messages ready to be triggered. The length of a triggered note is equivalent to the time a hand is placed on the corresponding virtual key, which is also confirmed by LED feedback.

In my next life, I want to sing like Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison. Oh, and grow a lush beard, so I can play in their band. Better start cracking.
Despite their over-the-top rockisms (ridiculously monstrous rigs, smoke machines, and high-wattage light show), Jucifer backs the bombast up with some colon-bursting heaviness. The duo from Athens, Gergia, take 90s-era grrl rawk and combines it with slow, plodding, sludge metal like High on Fire on Vicodin.
