All goosed-up with nowhere to go

Thursday, August 19, 2010

Mike Dubin, from the KRock radio shows “Domestic Disturbance” and “B-Local”, puts together a mix every month which are quickly becoming highlights of the month. Check out his Mid-August mix here (I heard Mid-May is pretty good too):

This month also includes a new song by Bad Books which is Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra’s new side project, definitely worth checking out. They are also playing their first show ever at CMJ this year. Speaking of CMJ:

Superglued is giving away Free CMJ badges if you blog about the summer concerts you have attended. You know you were all at the !!! show at the Waterfront, write about it! You might just win AND you could even be crowned NYC SUMMER MUSIC JUNKIE and win a whole year pass to shows at the Brooklyn Bowl. Not bad for logging shows you are already going to- right?

And for the closer of this weeks fun stuff: funny pictures of cats dressed as famous people.

Handmade Music Workshop @ the gallery in Dijital Fix LES

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

On August 29th is the Handmade Music Workshop being held in the gallery.  Equal parts science fair and music party, Handmade Music is a gathering at which musicians and the musi-curious explore new sound worlds. Assembled from the growing, global grassroots DIY scene, makers and hackers present new inventions and technology. Instead of just consuming, these are the people making the code, instruments, and noise-making contraptions that make the music. They’re building a musical future that’s open, creative, and hackable. Inventors bring their new creations for an open show-and-tell, join performances and jams, and make much noise.  Purchase your ticket here.

4pm – 6pm
WORKSHOP: Make your own Photo-Theremin

$10 (includes parts)

Never soldered before? Dozed off in Physics class when they were explaining electricity? Here’s your second chance. Create a noise-making two-transistor synthesizer of your very own, controlled by modulating light. Based on an original circuit by electronics legend Forrest M. Mims III, the man who de-mystified electronics in books for Radio Shack and others, and adapted by designer Eric Archer for Handmade Music Austin, this simple circuit is the perfect introduction to making sound with electricity. It’s quick to assemble, but lots of fun. Learn basic soldering, then make your own kit. And be sure to come back in the evening with your creation to join the world’s first known Photo-Theremin Chorus.

7pm – 9:30 pm
HANDMADE MUSIC – Open Party

FREE

Meet and mingle with inventors, musicians, and artists. Discover chip and mobile music played live wirelessly at the bar by New York’s Pulsewave community. Hear music and sound made with free software on Android mobile phones. Check out open sound inventions in the gallery and surprise performances hosted by createdigitalmusic.com, DIY musical crafts from Etsy.com, the latest inventions and kits from Make Magazine, and a world-exclusive debut performance of a new, hackable synthesizer called the MeeBlip.
Special guest: Drone Lab creator and renowned synth designer, artist, circuit bender, and musician Pete Edwards of Casperelectronics
Full lineup will be announced, but unplanned guests tend to appear.

NEW YORK, NY 10002

[gallery order="DESC" columns="5" orderby="title"]

Come celebrate the opening of dijital fix’s second store, featuring the first-ever physical Hipstamatic gallery from photos submitted from users around the world. Curated. Prizes. Giveaways. We’re very excited for this, and we’d love to see you all there, it’s open to the public. This gallery opening is in our new space which also contains a beer and wine bar with light “tapas-style” foods. Multi-function space. We can’t wait to see all the work from the latest Hipstamatic contest on our walls. Check out some of the 5000+ submissions here! You can get a preview of our products at our webstore, or better yet, stop by the new shop! If you feel like it, check out the facebook event page!

Dijital Fix is a designer electronics store. Born out of Brooklyn in 2006, we’ve grown up to open a second store in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Stocking some of the most exciting and interesting design gadgets available, we pride ourselves in offering only the best, as if we were to own it ourselves. We’re very excited to present our new store along with the Hipstamatic show: SOLSTICE: The Rebirth of Summer!

Marty Markowitz Renames Bridges “WiFi” and “Broadband”

Saturday, March 27, 2010

After I saw this, I wasn’t sure it was real, but checking it out, it appears to be true!  Marty Markowitz, in a bid to get Google’s attention and bring their 1-Gigabit/Second Fiber-to-the-home network to Brooklyn as their first test community!  Go Marty!

While I’m not exactly how long those names will stick, I hope people occasionally tell cabbies to “take the WiFi Bridge and exit at Broadway”.  Brilliant move, Marty, this might just get their attention so we can finally kick Time Warner and their crappy service to the curb!  If you haven’t heard about this yet, best thing for you to do would be to nominate our community (Brooklyn/Greenpoint), oh nevermind, it’s too late, deadline was yesterday!  Well, the next best thing would be to get down on your knees and pray, join the official facebook page, and only use google as a search engine so that they see we’re loyal!

In addition to music, we’ll be having an art exhibition by Artist M11X and Mike Mabes showing off his gorgeous Twin Lens Reflex shots of the neighborhood world!!!

In addition to having just about all of our products out to play with, we’re showing off a huge new line of inventory, you’ll be able to use all of our analog cameras we have to be our party photographer, and you can walk away with free stuff from Superheadz, AiAiAi and Lomography!  Come check it out, and get your drink on for free at Dijital Fix before your night begins!

Store Renovations Done!

Saturday, October 10, 2009

HEADER

Well, I forgot to blog about this last week, but we’ve been open with the new store layout since last Saturday and it looks great!  Here’s some photos for your enjoyment, but keep in mind these pictures were taken immediately after we opened and thus, it is looking a bit sparse.  Starting this week our truckloads of new inventory will be pouring in so definitely come in and take a look at all the new goodies we’ve got!  We’ll be blogging about them as they arrive, so stay tuned here as well!
