Cool Juggling. I just started watching and I couldn't look away.

What the hell is with new trend of having the music skip? Did some people finally realize that quantized music sounds like ass so they decided "hey, if we just randomly skip the music around then it's like a human played it!" *facepalm* It just reminds me of riding the bus with a CD player and going over a bump.
It also changed my thought on the song from "interesting arpegiated guitar part" to "oh, so what sample library did this guy mangle this together from?"

I'd be very impressed if they thought "this is an interesting effect, let me see how to do that" and pull off godliness on the level of Jojo Mayer by learning how to replicate a computer effect in reality. 90% of drum-n-bass is a guy hitting his fingers on pads or programmed due to the complexity of the poly-rhythms, hence impressiveness with doing it on a real drum set. Tweaking around the timing on a real guitar that sounds like skipping would be an impressive feat to do well, poorly and you'll just sound like a shit guitarist.

What do you think of hard cuts in real music like my sample here:

It's not really super new, and some of it sounds pretty cool.

Prefuse 73 is so rad. Wish he'd come up with some new shit and stop fucking around with his side projects.

The mob puts one an amazing show, even in a tiny venue.

This concept here seemed insanely cool to me, the payoff was only so-so, unfortunately. Because of how close together the grooves are, what this person basically made was "hear a second of one song, then a second of the next song, then a second of the first, then a second of the second song etc". Certainly interesting, but not exactly very listenable.

I guess what I was expecting to hear (many small snippets of many songs strung together) is more in the realm of tape-splicing. Like this:

It is a nicely executed 3 ball routine but it isn't exactly conceptual juggling. The effect of juggling glowing objects in a dimly lit room is always fun to do and the routine is very smooth. Also any juggling post is a good post.

He had a note in his FAQ about the title being a piss-take between him and his university friends about the wankery they were encountering during art school.

Good to hear, I didn't catch that part.

Im now available for anyone who thinks my skills could be of use!

Something feels off about that statement. I guess "being good at juggling" is an inherently useless skill. I'm not trying to shit on it either, I could say the same about playing with yo-yo, something I've spent way too much time on.

I don't know if it's useless. Tell that to the clowns. Or the guys that juggle chainsaws on the street, or flaming bowling pins.. I think it's definitely more of a busker skill. Barring that, I can juggle three, and am learning four, but I'm not gonna make any money from it, it's more of a party trick.

It might help a clown on a resume, but as for actual "usefulness" I still don't see the scenario of someone running down the street screaming "WE NEED A JUGGLER TO SAVE HIS LIFE!" or something similar...

It helps you catch your opponent's weapon after disarming them.

Well, nobody yells, "

KingPellinore said @ 8:20pm GMT on 30th May
Crap. Lets try that again.

Nobody yells, "WE NEED A CHEF TO SAVE HIS LIFE!" either.

So I have to wait 3 fucking minutes for my drink, and he probably put too much head on my beer?

I dunno.

Gimme Moe.

When you buy the stripper a drink, you're not paying for the drink.
