Weirdest Track One on a CD EVER

Joseph Nebra was a 18th century classical composer from Spain who never really got much love when he was alive.  

Moises Fernandez Via has just released an album of Nebra's work called Desde el silencio (Out of Silence). It begins, appropriately, I supposed with one minute of silence.  

There's  nothing wrong with track one.  It's supposed to be like that.

Woman Kicked Off a Plane for Singing Whitney Houston [VIDEO]

There is little that is civil about civil aviation these days.  Crowded planes, narrow seats, surly flight attendants and airport delays all contribute to make life miserable.

Then there are your fellow passengers.  The kind that think they can stuff their giant suitcases in the overhead compartments. Those that think they own BOTH armrests.  The jerks that bring their own smelly, messy food on the plant.  And the guy in the next seat who always wants to chat.

This however, is an even greater nightmare.  A woman on an American Airlines flight from LA to New York insisted on singing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" over and over and over and over and over and over again. She just wouldn't shut up.

It got so bad that the pilot diverted the plane to Kansas City and had the woman escorted off by police. In cuffs.

Forget the Harlem Shake. All the Uncool Kids are Doing The Algorave

The "algorave?"  Yep.  It happens when a bunch coders get together to dance to algorithms--or, more correctly, the nerd dance while coding on the fly.  I quote from CNET:

Algoraves are parties where people come together to dance to algorithms. It generally involves some live coding but any producers making music “wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive conditionals’ are welcome. Generally some aspect of the algorithmic processes are visible, but the focus is actually on the audience, and having serious fun.

Naturally, there's a website.  Here's a sample an algorave in Mexico City--shot in 3D, no less.
