Surfbort and ‘Kermode and Mayo’s Film Review’
[ad_1] Surfbort – Friendship Music Christine FisherContributing Writer Surfbort is the music the world needs right now: screaming about anxiety attacks, plastic in the ocean and Trump’s tweets. There’s a chance you’ve heard of the four-person, Brooklyn-based group. They’ve been around since 2015, played SXSW a few times and have been called “one of New […]
What we’re buying: Elf Audio’s Koala Sampler
[ad_1] Billy SteeleSenior News Editor When it comes to synth, drum machine and other useful audio apps, they can be pricey. The Minimoog Model D app is $15, and there are several similar options in the $30 range. Those are certainly well-built pieces of software, but asking a novice to spend that much on an […]
What we’re watching: ‘Back to Life’
[ad_1] Back to Life Daniel CooperSenior Editor I’m sure you can’t have escaped the enormous hype train around Fleabag, the BBC sitcom currently airing on Amazon Prime. Here in the UK, Fleabag aired a month back, and we’ve all moved on to viewing the show that inherited its timeslot: Back To Life. Since both shows […]
The Engadget Staff on ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’
[ad_1] Devindra HardawarSenior Editor Neon Genesis Evangelion helped me survive high school. I discovered it at the perfect time: It was 1996, and I was an angsty teen who never quite fit in anywhere. Anime and the early internet were my saviors, giving me a community (shout out to the late ’90s Sailor Moon Chat […]

I think the end of Game of Thrones was fine, my problem is with how we got there. For seven seasons, the show was methodical and meticulous about character […]
A solid MIDI controller that’s also easy to use
[ad_1] Roberto BaldwinSenior Editor Like most people, I have varied musical tastes. That would be fine if I wasn’t compelled to start a band based on every genre of music I like. I have a punk band, an indie-dance band with seven members, a tributes bands for both David Bowie and Prince and there’s always […]
The White Album in high-res
[ad_1] Daniel CooperSenior Editor For all of my airs and graces, there are a number of topics where I’m a philistine, and proud. Take high-end audio. To my uncultured ears, there’s little difference between your pricey cans and my phone’s Bluetooth buds. It happens a lot at trade shows, where people slam a pair of […]
What we’re buying: Google’s discontinued Chromecast Audio
[ad_1] Terrence O’BrienManaging Editor Google has killed a lot of products over the years. Some of them are sorely missed (Google Reader). Others, less so (Wave). But the one that hurt me the most, was Chromecast Audio. I love my regular Chromecasts a lot, but I had been a Roku user for years. Streaming YouTube […]
Star Wars and ‘Keeping the Rave Alive’
[ad_1] Keeping the Rave Alive James TrewManaging Editor In 1994, much to my parents’ dismay, I discovered Gabber — a noisy, anarchic genre of dance music that will test most people’s limits (and eardrums). Decades later, I am pleased to say that my folks were wrong: I neither “grew out of it” nor did it […]
