Ok, maybe we’re exaggerating a little bit. It may not play every game in the universe, but the CMACC gets pretty close. CMACC stands for “Complete - Multi Arcade Console Computer System” and is comprised of a giant pile of gaming goodness.  [Mayhem] packed a PC, Xbox, Xbox360, Dreamcast, Wii, PSP, and a DS into the cabinet. He seems to have overlooked the Virtual Boy though. He’s using GamEx as a front end for a multitude of emulators, including MESS which emulates tons of old desktops like Commodores and Apples. The cabinet, while not as elegant as the Retro Space, wins major geek points for the cup holder. [via Engadget] Less

Out of Cedar Falls, Iowa, the Teddy Boys have managed to revive the sounds of 60’s Britain in the Corn Belt, the soil apparently UK friendly last year, with another crop of songs promised to be germinating in the sonic fields this year. “Baby You’re the Best” is from the Teddy Boys debut LP “Love After Dark”, planted, harvested, and then released in late 2007 on the Tyros label. The group is currently at work on their 2nd LP and have been touring much of July, running the gang gauntlet via tourvan in the late of night in Omaha, unsuccessfully dodging drive-by pellet gun attacks, and engaging in drunken sharpie shenanigans and light-hearted 4am yard pranks. For some oddball reason, I’m envisioning their tour as a Mentos-like video for Insomniacs, where everything is ultra-cheerful in the end as the sun comes up. Join the lovefest and head over to SnoCap where all songs on “Love After Dark” can be purchased additive free. [cs] Spread It Around: Hide Sites Less

From their album Wild Streaks & Windy Days (2008) The third release from The Boxing Lesson, Wild Streaks & Windy Days is a simultaneously modern and classic journey through the dark side of the conscious mind. These 12 new tracks explore the contrasts between dark and light, love and lust, space and time, sacrifice and indulgence. Lead boxer, Paul Waclawsky, flexes his song writing muscles and his space echoes like never before on the timeless recording inspired by the Austin indie music scene and radio emissions from outer space. Paul’s voice shows maturity and his epic sonic guitar textures are psychedelic and lush, like Cassiopeia A, the Birthplace of Stars.

Without Simon Carless many of us wouldn’t be here. He’s been managing Monotonik since 1996, which seems far far away within the netaudio scene. He’s also been moderating the archive.org netlabel community, granting us permission to host our files there, something like being our ‘godfather’. ;) here a few words from Simon…. “To be honest, I think my netlabel experience has run into a little arrested development – not that there’s not insane amounts of good music out there, but a lot of my netlabel points of reference seem to have peaked somewhere around 2004-2005, in terms of fellow netlabels doing the electronic headphone listening thing. So, from my sadly limited field of influence, here’s a sorta ‘Monotonik greatest idm hits vs. some classics from other labels I admire’, partly cribbed from a ‘best of 2004’ pick I did a while back (!). It’s all totally serene, and should make you happy.’ Less
