Akai APC40 Ableton Software USB Controller
I will make a bold prediction: the Akai APC40 will change the way electronic music is written and performed. Considering that the Akai MPC1000 is already in use by countless indie-rock/indie-tronic acts (including Passion Pit and Paper Route), the APC40 is a big step forward towards bridging the gap between hardware and software with a responsive, intuitive design.

Jason Anderson @ Cafe Metropolis, Wilkes-Barre,...
Jason Anderson was fantastic. After the show I spoke with him and he immediately asked if there were songs that I was disappointed that I didn’t hear. He quickly grabbed his acoustic and proceeded to give me and @Kate_One a six song private encore.
And if that wasn’t already super generous he also gave me a free vinyl copy of “The Hopeful and the Unafraid” and several...
