The Dork Report for August 27, 2006

  • Loads of new UNKLE releases com­ing up:
    • Self Defense, a four-disc boxed set of remixes from the Never Never Land album, on Sep­tem­ber 12. But it appears only three (!) tracks are pre­vi­ously unre­leased, so I think I may skip it.
    • Tons of new remixes, none of which are avail­able in the US, even on iTunes: I would espe­cially like to hear Depeche Mode’s “John the Rev­e­la­tor (UNKLE Re-Construction)”, and Mas­sive Attack’s “False Flags (UNKLE Sur­ren­der Sounds Ses­sion #2)”
    • Wikipedia notes UNKLE’s new album The Future is Unwrit­ten is due some­time this sum­mer (with a teaser on the offi­cial site).
  • Steve Jobs’ lat­est inspi­ra­tions come straight from cheesy 1980’s sci-fi.
  • Pic­oCricket, a new, uh… thing from Lego Mind­storms. Looks to be less “awe­some robot” and more “pipecleaner arts’n’crafts.”
