App Catch - Onyx

There are many Mac utilities available but I usually use Disk Utility (of course) but also a free app called Onyx. Simply put... Onyx is the Swiss Army Knife of Mac utilities. It allows you to do a wide array of cleanups and gives you a simple interface to hack many hidden preferences. Here is the download link if you are interested. Make sure to keep it updated.

iTunes 8.1 - iTunes DJ Feature

Last week Apple released iTunes 8.1 with a few fixes and some added features. One major feature is the new "iTunes DJ" which allows you to broadcast your library to your nearby friends with iPhones via iPhone app. Your friends then have the option to browse your library, pick songs and even vote against each other on the playlist que. If you want more instruction on how to set this up click here.

Show Alert - Ladyhawke March 26th

We just got tickets to go see Ladyhawke at Studio B on March 26th... very exciting. I haven't been to Studio B since The Black Ghosts show last July. Wondering if the roof garden will be back in action?

Rixmix - Spring 2009 completed!

I finally completed my seasonal 22-track collection of music a.k.a "RIXMIX". It seems as if I have a strong craving for New Wave these days. Not to say that these songs are all New Wave but they definitely have a New Wave feel. Anyway... you be the judge and checkout my Spring 2009 page here.

App Catch - Webkit (Faster Safari)

If you are a Mac user that uses Safari then you might want to download WebKit. Besides its super cool gold Safari icon it's noticeably faster. They post nightly builds which are pretty much daily bug fixes and security patches. So if you want a "faster" Safari I would download WebKit and support the open source project.

Show Alert - Fischerspooner May 7th

Fischerspooner produces some of my most cherished Rixmix tracks and they truly put on an amazing show! I was at the Halloween Irving Plaza show in 2005 and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. So now it is 2009 and they are back in Brooklyn performing at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (my new favorite venue) on May 7th. It looks as if they also have another album coming out on May 4th... and wow does it have high expectations to live up to. If you like electronic music definitely go this show!
