Personal space invader?

For those of certain vintage, just mention of the words space invaders conjures up a whole host of 80s imagery that might well include Debbie Harry, Adam & the Ants and Duran Duran from music, two-tone Cortinas and Delorean cars from motors, yuppies, Wall Street and ET from film and Ronald Reagan from er, politics.

Space Invaders formed a large part of my teenage years and its sound is ingrained in my brain, not to mention the hypnotic dance of the alien creatures as they inevitably destroyed my attempts to destroy them.

So one idea has been to put the game sound on to its electric vehicles as a way of alerting pedestrians.

But this could be just one of myriad potential sounds added to cars, with the issue slowly rising to the top of legislators’ in-trays as EVs start to become a reality.

No-one likes the heavy hand of the State micro-managing daily life. But just imagine if everyone personalised their EV to Kajagoogoo or whatever 80s tune grabbed their fancy?

We’d end up with a cacophony of white noise. Perhaps it’s best left to the lawmakers after all.

Blue Turtle Seduction: Add Dates

Blue Turtle Seduction End Of Summer/Fall Tour 2009


Blue Turtle Seduction

Blue Turtle Seduction is no stranger to the road. Currently finishing their summer tour, the road is leading them back home to the West Coast for a small jaunt before trekking back into the Midwest. The band is touring in support of their digital release of 13 Floors, proof this touring juggernaut is primed to give fans ample opportunity to hear the latest tunes featured on the release.

Hailing from South Lake Tahoe, CA, the band released the digital version of their album 13 Floors February 10. Possibly the truest encapsulation of the essence of the band, this release pieces influences from The String Cheese Incident to Duran Duran to The Clash into a 13 track record. The album is at times rock, at times bluegrass, occasionally hip-hop and gypsy folk at the core.
