THE IMAGINE PROJECT – HERBIE HANCOCK

dave@weheartmusic.com July 10, 2010

In the liner notes Herbie Hancock apologizes to anyone he may have left out. After listening to his latest album, The Imagine Project, I wonder who it might have been. The purpose of the project “is an effort to show the power and beauty of global collaboration as a golden path to peace.” How do you do that? By inviting everybody to be on your album from Pink and Chaka Khan to John Legend and Seal. Even my two favorite bands, Los Lobos and The Chieftains make an appearance, as well as international stars like Anoushka Shankar and Juanes.

I have also been playing Dragon Age, quite slow-moving, but I love it. The best version to get is the PC version, surprisingly. First of all it's about $10 cheaper than the Xbox or PS3 version, and it looks fantastic compared to those console version. Plus you can zoom out for that top-view like those Baldur's Gate games. Love it.

Crypticon 2009

vu@weheartmusic.com November 8, 2009

Crypticon 2009 was a bit disappointing, compared to last year. As with last year's cancellation of Tom Savini, this year it's Charles Band. What upset me was that Band's disinvolvement wasn't even mentioned anywhere on their website. As of this writing, their website still lists Band as a guest: "6:00pm Charles Band and his Full Moon Road Show in the Music Room 2nd Floor."
