I was compelled tonight to actually perform a stunt. Yup fat as I am and wired with Caffeine I actually performed a real bona fide no tricks stunt - without the aid of a net. Ladies and gents I jumped on board a fast moving band wagon.

Yup, I s*** you not this sucker was moving and moving damn fast, i think I got a splinter…

I paid a full £10-ish for AudioSurf, a game that has been gathering erm… steam on the er… STEAM network. — see what I did there ;0) — The game allows you to ’surf’ your music collection collecting different coloured blocks strewn all over a virtual track. The track and blocks are actually generated based on the song you choose. In the latest version you get the game, the full soundtrack from Valve’s Orange Box and a new feature that allows you to surf songs from net radio.

One superb feature is that you can discover entirely new songs from featured artists. Tonight I discovered ‘Lost on Purpose‘, a one man indie band. This guy has an acoustic feel to his songs with a real upbeat rythm. his site and ordering process for his songs could do with a bit more polish, evidently he’s a better musician than web developer, but then I’m no musician (unless out of practice drummer counts) so I’m not going to hang him out to dry for that.
Anyhow, his stuff is great and he’s available on iTunes so you can find him and buy him real easy. I think you can play samples from his site too if you want to get a feel for the music.

So, Two recomendations for you: Buy AudioSurf and go check out a one man indie band… you don’t have to do both btw but do one and do it now ;0)
