and YOYOYOYOYO!
we have a new ‘n shinny year ahead of us
so let’s start it with something MEGA

this is the new ‘n shinny HD remaster version

HAPPY 2010 2 U all!

letz RAWK!

Monday Kick.
A happy, positive craziness which helps to start an another week.

Shredder has a party at the technodrome, and all of your favorite robots are in attendance. Robot Party performed by Dub Nasty.

This is not an official Crookers video, but the dancin' robots are cute ;)

The Thingamagoops are really just simple, analog type synthesizers that you control in a different way.

The Thingamagoops have oscillators just like any synth. On analog synths the oscillator that creates the actual tone you hear is called a VCO or voltage controlled oscillator. The Bleeps work a little differently so we’ll just call it the main oscillator. Instead of using a keyboard, the main oscillator in the Thingamas is controlled by a photocell. These little guys are the perfect Halloween gifts for every AudioPornographer ;)

This weekend, you have time to do things around the house and probably you even have time for some music recycling ;) Well to make some crafting fun with useless old CD’s and tapes. Green Living Expert Danny Seo has two eco-friendly ideas for you. Make dumbbells from your old CD’s for stylish workout and surprise your loved one with some TapeRobots storage containers what you can easily make from cassettes and cans. Go, make them!!

Apollo Zero is back with this gem. We are truly amazed, this is one of his bests so far! Robot music forever indeed!!! Here is what he has to say about this mash: – Greetings fellow robots! This started with the idea of using Bruce Haack’s "School For Robots" children dance record as a rap and grew into a mechanical symphony of sound and beats. –

Despite the chaos and carnage of three nights of live punk at the Institute of Contemporary Arts punters would still be hard pressed to miss the three pogo-dancing robots in their midst. The machines, which have been created by a collaboration of artists and scientists, have been designed to fall in love with punk music and show their appreciation through dance.

The robot punks take pride of place in the mosh pit at a series of gigs called Neurotic.

Standing 2m tall, padded and dressed in leather, they are no ordinary concert goers.

Professor McOwan, from Queen Mary University, and one of the creators of the robots, said they were built because of his fascination with human-computer interaction. "I’m a computational neuroscientist and my interest is in trying to build mathematical and computational models for the way the brain processes sensory information, such as visual or auditory information. "I work out how human beings do that, build a computer model to test how it works and then hopefully, if it works well, you understand more about humans but also you have software for use in robotic systems.

"The idea is to look at the information processing strategies that have taken billions of years to develop through evolution, steal them and put them into computers."

The robots use neural networks, a collection of computer processors that function in a similar way to a simple animal brain.

Neural networks are popular in the field of artificial intelligence because of their ability to recognise patterns from the sensory input of external sources, much like a human brain.

The robots have been trained to like punk, explained Professor McOwan.  [read more and watch the video @ BBC NEWS]
