Modding iTunes...
...organize classical music such that the composer appears in the artist field and the artist/ensemble appears somewhere else. The obvious choice would be to use the now vacated composer slot, and I do exactly that. I've modified iTunes to support this new paradigm and am VERY happy with the change. The final result looks like this... Link.

HOW TO Make Your Own $6 Microphone Pop-Filter
This article will show you how to make your own microphone pop-filter. A pop-filter is a small screen that goes between a microphone and your mouth to prevent sharp popping sounds (known as plosives) like “P” and “B” words from overloading the mic level and distorting. Commercially available pop-filters are expensive and can often cost 20 dollars or more. The pop-filter you can build here will cost less than $6 dollars. Link.

Build a Better Music Interface: Railfans (as in Trains)
Railfans are building life-size, full-scale railroad cabs that look and function like the real thing, then projecting scenery onto their wall. And for music, you can hack their USB controller to turn it into a music / video / VJ controller, using either the Windows SDK (for hard coding) or a Mac app called junXion (for simple MIDI, useful with Max/MSP/Jitter, audio and VJ apps etc.) Aside from the train controller interface, you could use their I/O box to build any controller you wanted. There are other I/O boxes that use USB, but theirs has an unusual number of ins and outs, saving you basic stamp programming. And it's also comparatively cheap. They also make bunches of custom controllers, keyboards, everything... Link.

Dave Matthews DRM workaround HOW TO
Dave Matthews Band encouraging fans to bypass DRM restrictions on new album (and, funny enough, petitioning Apple to ignore DRM restrictions in iTunes). Their HOW TO suggests burning a CD, then importing it in to iTunes, that's wrong. Just hold down the shift key and/or disable autorun (here's how). [via] Link.

DIY amp'ed Congo music...
NPR_Nut writes "A group of musicians took centuries-old instruments from the forests of Congo, brought them into the city - and plugged in! Their do-it-yourself amplification devices conjure up garage bands. African punk music from Konono Number One." Link (WindowsMedia audio). Wow, this is really great- they also talk how they made the DIY pick ups.

The Walkman Sequencer: Tape + Homebrew Sequencer + Nintendo Game Boy
Master chip musician Gijs Gieskes has outdone himself this time: his second Walkman tape sequencer controls the Game Boy music cartridge LSDJ via various knobs and circuitry. In other words, the sequencer he built controls both a Walkman tape deck and a Game Boy. Check out this audio sample or this one to hear what all this sounds like. The effect is quite brilliant: a madcap tape deck scratch system with Game Boy music. Forget records and turntables. Tape is the future, man. Link.

Boot Camp - Mashing for Beginners
The term "mash-up" or "bootleg" (or, more commonly, just "boot") describes the result of mixing together two or more records to create a whole new track. Though originally performed live using turntables and DJ mixers, recent advances in sequencing software have taken this art-form to a whole new level. This document outlines how mash-ups can be made using the software package Tracktion. Link.
