Last night UK band Squeeze appeared on Late Nigh with Jimmy Fallon and took an iPad with them. They played “Pulling Mussels From the Shell” and one of the band members used an iPad all along. Take a look at the solo during the second minute - the app is MooCowMusic’s Pianist Pro.

Of all the bad habits I have, one I managed to kick is falling asleep with music. Yes, I used to go to bed with my earphones on and music playing until I was unable to listen to it. I read a lot of people do it - but I couldn’t stand waking up with cables all over my bed. I felt stupid for that habit.
Now we (I, actually) have a problem. There’s this new iPhone app, Decrescendo, which helps you falling asleep with your music, it’s “intelligent” and looks great on the Retina Display. Oh boy.
The Retina Display is great, and it’s always a pleasure to see updated apps show up in iTunes every day. If you don’t have an iPhone, you really have no idea how gorgeous apps look on it.
I was amazed by Ether, a simple radio app by Pandapps, as I saw the first screenshots in iTunes. Why? Because it’s the first music app that actually looks great on my new device.
Rana Sobhany has been experimenting with custom iPad DJ setups for quite a while now. But with the iPhone 4, she decided to take this a step further, and composed a song on the iPad using AKAI’s Synthstation and SoundTrend’s Looptastic. The music video was shot on an iPhone 4, the same day it came out.
The result is quite impressive in my opinion, and I look forward to the next video.
Sometimes a new app comes around and changes the way you interact with a device. It happened before. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here always living on the edge of the App Store looking for new promising pieces of software. The app we’re previewing today is more than promising, it’s a big leap forward, at least for me.
My Artists has replaced iPod.app on my iPhone.
I’m not exactly into music games, but this app for iPhone could help me rediscover the genre. If you know what Guitar Hero is, that it shouldn’t be difficult to understand the main concept of Street Orchestra: you have to tap on “music notes” coming down from a “panel” to keep playing a specific song. It’s very simple and addictive.
In North Carolina, my respective radio station is 106.5 The End (link might contain NSFW content). And while I don’t know too many people who still listen to their local radio stations, I’m a huge fan, thus the shameless plug (and the window sticker). Occasionally they’ll have a block party weekend, where they’ll play two or three songs by the same artist in a row, and it’s a format I really love. But now when I travel, I can have a block party weekend wherever I go with Tripmix.
