Surf’s Up

27 Apr 2007 at 8:00am

pcenterimg src=http://www.stylusmagazine.com/ipod/070427.jpg/center/p pYou know that chapter in IFear and Loathing in Las Vegas/I that starts with the Art Linkletter quote? The one where Hunter S. Thompson talks about the death of the ‘60s dream and how the youth generation was riding a seemingly inexorable wave of momentum that broke and rolled back with the deaths of Martin Luther King and RFK Jr. and Richard Nixon’s election as President? I’d always held that chapter dear to my heart—it’s the demarcation line between what the book is (an intense deconstruction of 1970s “silent majority” America) and what it could have been (“hey, aren’t people stupid when they’re fucked up?”), one of the most cogent pieces of what the 1960’s meant to the people that lived through them. You can actually feel Thompson’s pain as he describes what it felt like to have the future stretch out before you, vast, exciting, and all for the taking, only to have it snatched away by the vagaries of fate./p pI think about that when I hear Brian Wilson’s solo take of “Ba href=http://www.stylusmagazine.com/ipod/070427-surfs.mp3Surf’s Up/a/B,” recorded for Leonard Bernstein’s IWorld of Music/I in November of 1966. It’s just Wilson at his piano, debuting what would be the final track of his fabled ISmile/I album, his heart-meltingly beautiful voice wrapped around Van Dyke Park’s brilliant word paintings. Free of Wilson’s studio conjuring, the Beach Boys’ gliding harmonies absent, Wilson alone with his two favorite instruments, you can truly get a sense of how amazing the song really is, the perfect capper to Wilson’s unfinished symphony./p pAt that moment, the Beach Boys, and especially Wilson, had reached the peak of their own massive wave, both creatively and popularly. Behind him were “Surfer Girl,” ISummer Days and Summer Nights/I, “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Good Vibrations” (yet to be released), and the masterpiece IPet Sounds/I. Ahead were the painful valleys of drug abuse, the rejection and dismembering of ISmile/I, tragic deaths, increasingly brutal albums, the band’s descent into a creatively bankrupt nostalgia act, and Wilson’s sad, ugly downfall in the 1970s. But before those would come, we would have this moment, taped for a nation to watch on CBS, Brian Wilson’s final moment in the sun before the clouds, and the shade, and the darkness./p p[buy stuff Ba href=http://www.amazon.com/Good-Vibrations-Thirty-Years-Beach/dp/B000002UR4/ref=pd_bb s_sr_1/002-6845429-8357646?ie=UTF8#038;s=music#038;qid=1175881501#038;sr=8-1here/a/B] /p

Sion surfe plus vite !

1 Aug 2007 at 2:30am

Mathieu Chevrier s'intéresse à l'arrivée de l'Internet à très haut débit en Suisse. Depuis le début du mois de juillet 2007, l'Internet à très large bande a débarqué dans la capitale du canton du Valais. Les habitants de Sion vont pouvoir surfer cinq fois plus vite que jusqu'à maintenant ! C'est intéressant, mais si c'est un bon argument marketing, dans les faits, ils n'iront pas toujours plus vite. Le très haut débit ne permet pas vraiment d'afficher plus rapidement des pages Internet. A moins d'avoir affaire à de très gros serveurs, la différence d'affichage d'une page entre une connexion 3 ou 5 méga standard et une connexion 15 méga ne varie pas de manière évidente. Concrètement, les très hauts débits servent à télécharger plus vite. Ils sont d'abord et surtout utiles aux gens qui téléchargent de grosses quantités de données. Ils sont forcément très prisés par les utilisateurs de services de peer2peer, pour les téléchargements légaux ou illégaux de musique, films ou séries télés. Pour des applications quotidiennes simples, à savoir le mail ou du surf léger, quelques magazines, des journaux ou des blogs, le très haut débit n'est ainsi pas une nécessité. (01.08.2007)
