Future Music magazine interviews members of Animal Collectiveon sampling, songwriting and playing live. On page one, Avey Tare says “For us, the gear isn’t that important”. The remaining two pages are a discussion of, you know, all of their gear — and how they use it to record and perform.

Speaking of gear, this video shows Jordan Rudess demonstrating the “Bebot” — a new multi-touch performance synthesizer for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Freeky-deeky!(Via www.youtube.com )

using just guitar effect pedals to reproduce the synthesizers and tape effects.
The Yngwie ‘J.’ Malmsteen Humidor and Memory Box?!?
When it comes to 80′s Metal, it’s hard to tell the parody items from those more earnestly intended.

After a very extended beta period, DEVONthink has finally “come out of its shell” today with the final release of its 2.0 edition. (Congratulations to Eric and the gang at DEVONtechnologies for finally getting rid of those yellow “Beta Stripes”!)
As part of their “virtual launch party”, DEVON is offering a 10% discount on the new edition for both new customers and upgraders — which I think is the least they can do for auto-playing a Rod Stewart song on the page. ![]()
Questionable music choices aside — I also noticed that Dan Byler, the author of the NetNewsWire-to-DEVONthink AppleScript, wrote a review of DEVONthink Pro on his blog which won him some swag. Nice work, Dan!
One more bit of good news — the final release seems to have fixed the problem that Beta 8 created with the Evernote-to-DEVONthink AppleScript. Anyone who had trouble with the script recently should download the new version of DEVONthink and try again!
There was a recent post on the the Mac Rumors Forum with this AppleScript question:
“I have a rule in Mail, which moves specific emails to a specific email folder… Now I need an AppleScript to run in conjunction with the rule, which will save each email as a txt file in a folder on my desktop…. Can anyone suggest how I go about this?”
You remember that I whipped up an Export Apple Mail Messages to Text Files script just a few weeks ago that pretty much fits that description, right? So I thought that, in the process of turning it into something that Apple Mail can use, I could do a little walk-through for you guys of how to write a script like this in the first place!
Easy, right? A walk in the park.
HA!
(And how does that Robert Burns poem go again?)
