It’s iPhones being used by cute babies! And if that doesn’t sum up the ways in which Apple’s mobile is divisive, I don’t know what does. It’s time for our Monday round-up of the latest from the Apple iStuff world. I’ve never been an advocate of the iPhone and iPod touch; the idea is to cover all digital music platforms on CDM, and as regular readers know, I have no love of Apple’s strict NDA ...

Two 20th century additions to the comparatively small body of concertos for double bass and orchestra: Einojuhani Rautavaara's Angel Of Dusk (II, III), from 1980, and the 1948 concerto of Eduard Tubin (II, III). Those are courtesy of YouTube, but if you're not sated you can hear still more from bassist Phillip Serna, and a great deal more, from the fine Contrabass Conversations podcast.

Despite my forays into all sorts of music (both playing/recording and listening), I always come back to two WILDLY disparate genres: 80s jangle pop and dirty, greasy soul music. It’s okay. I’m used to being a man of contradictions. Just ask my therapist. As far as Soul music goes, I’m generally old school: mostly Stax (Booker T. and the MGs, etc.) with a heaping helping of Al Green (before he found the Lord), a splash ...

Filed under: 精彩杂录 [图文引用来源：MAKE] 或许马特洪峰( Matterhorn )并不是地球上最高的山峰，但与它同名的喇叭却应该会是目前最大的重低音喇叭。这组长宽高为 20 x 8 x 8 英尺( 609 x 243 x 243 公分 )的重低音喇叭，由 40 个喇叭单体组成，最大输出功率为惊人的 40,000 瓦。目前只知道这组喇叭的委托者是军方，但究竟要用在什么地方则是不得而知。或许是要用来朝地洞里发射，让藏在里面的敌人忍不住而跑出来开战吧！跳转后看看施工者怎么说。Continue reading 马特洪峰，超级重低音喇叭Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Microsoft Xbox 360, RhythmWe all know that the talent of a musical performer is less important than the instrument through which they channel their rocking energies -- that's why we were pleased as punch to get a look at Mad Catz's impressive line of Rock Band 2 peripherals during E3. Sure, $200 might sound outrageous for a controller, but after viewing their full-sized (and realistically weighted) wireless Stratocaster and Precision Bass guitars, complete ...

Filed under: Gaming While we love Rock Band 2 as much as the next guy, playing that miniaturized plastic controller will forever look a little dorky (or just make us look like giant men, which is kind of cool). Nothing wrong with looking dorky -- heck, we make a living of it -- but Mad Catz's new full-size Stratocaster and Precision Bass controllers for Rock Band 2 are bringing the cool back. They're exactly what ...

Until the advent of such determinedly minimalistic bands like the White Stripes or the Black Keys, it was taken as read that every band needed at least the following components: 1 x singer (good haircut, spiky confrontational attitude) 1 x drummer (silly) 1 x guitarist (cool, excitable) 1 x bassist (a what?) The equipment needed to sing comes as standard with most plain old human bodies. You have lungs and a throat, so you’re good ...

Budweiser -- King of American Beers?There is a certain pride in drinking Budweiser beer. It has been American-owned and American-brewed — in St. Louis, Missouri — since 1876. By the end of the year, though, it will turned over to a Belgian-Brazilian company. InBev has announced that it is buying Anheuser for $52 billion (click here). The deal should close by the end of the year, analysts say. Don’t think it’s a big deal? I ...
