Float

Coolest record player (concept) ever:

The record player uses a carrier and dock outfitted with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control system which carries the LP into thin air as it is playing music. a self-running record player shaped
in the form of a red sphere, contains a needle, amplifier and speaker, spins around the record,
bringing the music to life. the sphere that plays the vinyl was technically influenced by the ‘vinyl killer’,
currently the world’s smallest LP player that has a built-in motor, amplifier and speaker.

White Shit

The guys from Big Business have a new project: White Shit. It also features Andy Coronado, the guitarist from Monorchid and Skull Kontrol.

From Post Present Medium:

The world of hardcore crossover dropped a big loaf in our laps and we are very pleased. White Shit is the powerhouse musical styling’s of Andy Coronado (Wrangler Brutes, Monorchid, Skull Kontrol, Nazti Skins) Jared Warren and Coady Willis (Big Business and The Melvins) and a guy named Tits. White Shit think in terms that are somewhat too mentally elevated for most to understand fully, but if you read between the lines it all comes together. Make no mistake with a name like White Shit you get what you pay for. The music is powerful, hardcore straight-ahead shredding with a group of fellows we have grown to love. Enjoy.

Read what Vice has to say about them and check out an MP3 there as well.
