FrameByFrame is a freeware stop-motion app for OS X. I just used it to quickly make this very small test movie: stopmotiontest.mov Here it is embedded. Click to play: Had to cut it b/c it was crashing people’s FF3.
The little bit of music here is from NIN’s new freely downloadable album, the slip. The entire album is licensed under a Creative Commons license that allows me to use it in this little test video. How friggin’ awesome is that?! The song is called 1,000,000.
It’s like you took my two favorite artists and smashed them together. The only thing that would be more awesome is if Thom Yorke walked out on stage and joined Prince in a rendition of Let’s Go Crazy.
You got your chocolate in my peanut butter! You got your peanut butter in my chocolate!
I was looking over the How to Speak German page that Sara has been working on and was pleased to see Die Fantastichen Vier represented, and suddenly, I was hit with memories of Germany in 1995 and me discovering Die Artze and rocking out to this song:
Ausgezeichnet!
Here’s a Sims video of the non-live album version:
Our Guides Lon and Andy worked hard digging through all the ways to download free music online and they put together this great page: How to Download Free Music - Mahalo.

To the person who wrote to me several months ago, asking that I repost this article online, my apologies for the long delay. It took me quite a while to track the paper down.
Update: Found the song and video the paper is partially about on YouTube:
I forgot to mention this on Sunday, but OMG. I’ve been waiting for the SuperBowl clips on iTunes to materialize into a $1.99 copy of the half-time show, but someone doesn’t want to make some money. Fortunately, YouTube to the rescue:
and…
Pouring rain. Live performance. No recording lip-syncing bullshit. Just rocking Prince in the house. Best half-time show in years.
One good thing about iTunes not having this up and buyable, though, was that I discovered this Prince podcast. It’s actually good. Rock.
Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews is a jazz musician that embodies his hometown of New Orleans, and he shares his thoughts, reactions and overall feelings on what has happened in New Orleans, and what has yet to be done.
Cool hybrid podcast / video. Make sure you check out the performance clip from tonight’s episode of Studio 60 at the end.
I just bought the Foo Fighter’s new live acoustic album Skin and Bones on the iTunes Music Store. Just on the first track, Razor, but I can already tell it’s going to rock.
I really loved Wall-E, but I couldn't help but notice that more than half of the film's plot was lifted from the brilliant--and much more adult--film idiocracy.
