The post Musician and Producer Brian Eno Designs a Color-Changing Turntable appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>The way the colors shift, and their intensity is pre-programmed, but the change comes gradually and in random sequences, resulting in an immersive visual experience.
“Several overlapping light cycles will keep producing different color balances and blends – and different shadow formations that slowly evolve and never exactly repeat. The process is simple. The results are complex,” Eno shared in the press release.
According to Eno, the turntable was designed to be a functional device for playing records while also serving as a piece of art.
“When it doesn’t have to do anything in particular, like play a record, it’s a sculpture,” Eno adds.
Turntable II is currently on display at the Paul Stolper Gallery in London, UK. When it is released, it will be limited to 150 units. The turntable has a price tag of £20,000 ($25,360) and comes with Eno’s signature as well as the edition number engraved on the side.
Brian Eno is known for being a co-founder of the English rock band Roxy Music and for his work in ambient music. Eno, who has been a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 2019, has also produced albums by music acts like U2, Coldplay, and Grace Jones.

]]>Mars’ signature guitar is based on the Stratocaster model and inspired by the “When I Was Your Man” singer’s “signature retro style and showmanship”. The body of the guitar is crafted out of resonant ash and comes with a special “Mars Mocha Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer” finish.
Bruno Mars Stratocaster is available for purchase on Fender’s official website as a limited-edition item. It comes with a price tag of $2,999.99, and the customers get a custom leopard print strap alongside a 3-ply mint green pickguard.
“I don’t think of myself as a guitar player. I’m more of a frustrated songwriter,” said Mars in a statement. “Every song is like a puzzle you have to solve, and a good guitar can bring something out of you that can help take you to the finish line. That’s what I wanted from this guitar.”
Bruno Mars established himself as one of the biggest music stars of his generation. He released three studio albums and sold 130 million records worldwide. His most recent release, 2016’s 24K Magic, won seven Grammy Awards, including one for Album of the Year.

]]>A first-grader Cairo Koomson recently did “Peaches” for his school talent show and amazed not only his peers but also the entire internet. In a video posted on Koomson’s TikTok, which is run by his mom Tracy, the boy can be seen playing the song on a piano while dressed in a Bowser costume.
The crowd absolutely loves the performance, singing the lyrics alongside Koomson and then rewarding him with thunderous applause after he’s done.
The video of his performance quickly turned viral, getting more than six million views. It also captured the attention of Super Mario Bros star Chris Pratt, who shared it on his Instagram story.
In a chat with Today, Tracy explained that the song “Peaches” has a special importance for the Koomson family.
Cairo’s younger brother Eli has autism and usually doesn’t speak much. However, one day he decided to sing “Peaches” out of nowhere, surprising the entire family. This is what prompted Cairo to do the song at the talent show in the first place.
“He was like, ‘Mom, I’m going to sing for Eli,” Tracy shared with Today. “Cairo is very mature, and he’s also self-sacrificing. A lot of the attention goes to Eli because he’s special needs, but Cairo never complains. He absolutely adores his brother.”

All of these factors helped Kylie Minogue make her well-deserved comeback and introduce herself to Gen-Z, and we can’t wait to see what she’ll do next.

]]>Jarred Jermaine aka J Maine is a record producer from California, who moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. He played a role in coining the term RnBass, a music genre that fuses contemporary R&B with hip hop, but he eventually found viral fame through his social media content.
His rise to prominence started after he shared a video in which he pointed out that the 2017 track “Something New” by Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign sampled ’80s jam “Computer Love” by ZAAP.
“When I wrote it down, I was like, ‘Man, everyone knows this. This is actually dumb. I feel dumb for writing this.’ But it just hit right on the money. A lot of people didn’t know that. I was surprised, and thought, Okay, I think I’m gonna do more of these because it’s fun,” he told Dropbox.
Jermaine is best known for posting videos that point out similarities between different songs, but they’re not the only thing you’ll find on his TikTok and Instagram. He also enjoys posting everything from the best songs from different eras to discussing the latest music news.

]]>The post Punk Rock Band Fall Out Boy is Putting Tear-Soaked Vinyl on the Map appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Fall Out Boy dropped their latest album So Much (For) Stardust back in March, and they came up with a creative way to promote it months later. This will be the first album available as the Crynyl record, which contains the artists’ actual tears for “maximum emotional fidelity.”
“Every Crynyl release is filled with actual tears from the artist. We gather tear samples using sterile collection kits, dilute them into a sonically-optimized solution, then seal them into each record using proprietary crynylseal technology,” reads Crynyl’s official website.
To make the whole thing even wilder, each record comes with a gatefold box with a built-in tissue dispenser—just in case you end up crying real tears while listening to your favorite artists.
This may sound like a crazy idea, but let’s just say Fall Out Boy already sold out the limited edition of 50 copies in an hour. If there’s anyone who should be selling tear-soaked vinyl records, it’s certainly one of the most beloved emo bands of the 2000s, but let’s see if other artists will follow suit.

]]>The post Viral “If I Were a Fish” Song is Spreading Positivity All Over TikTok appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Corinne Savage aka Corook recorded the viral video alongside fellow Nashville musician Olivia Barton. It took them around 10 minutes to write and record the viral video, which celebrates the joy of being different.
“I am expressing myself in the purest way I know at this moment like I never have before. I think that leaves me out of a lot of boxes or groups that are way more clearly defined, whether it be the way I express myself colorfully, or my gender or genre of music,” Corook told The Rolling Stone.
@hicorook I was having a very emotional day, feeling insecure and out of place. So I cried to Olivia and after feeling through it, we wrote this song in 10 minutes to remember the joy in being different
♬ original sound – corookhappy Tuesday
In the TikTok caption of her viral video, Carook explained she was having “a very emotional day” and Barton helped her lighten the mood by writing this silly song, with such lyrics as, “If I were a fish and you caught me / You’d say, ‘Look at that fish shimmering in the sun’ / Such a rare one, can’t believe you caught one.”
“If I Were a Fish” gained over 14 million views on TikTok since the duo posted it earlier this month, and the song was later released on several streaming platforms, such as Spotify and Apple Music.
@hicorook these last few days have been so wonderfully overwhelming yall are making this song what it is. me and @oliviabartonhaha ♬ original sound – corook
