Lost In FM

Music is my life. Technology is my life. You know what, this tumblr is basically my life, just condensed into a digital format and excluding all of the boring parts. If you're passionate about music, TV, movies, or tech like I am, please check out Lost in FM. Here, you'll find the home of the Lost in FM podcast. The blog, much like the podcast, focuses on music mostly but from time to time will feature other news and pieces involving gaming, TV, movies, or anything else on my mind.

I imagine that very little of that footage is actually worth watching though.

Many bands are exploring the iPhone as a new platform to create music. Bands like Innerpartysystem are even using the device for live performances in small venues. In the case of New York’s Atomic Tom, the iPhones came in handy when the band decided to light up a subway. Watch and see Atomic Tom perform an impromptu rendition of their single “Take Me Out” on the New York City B Train using only the phones in their pockets.
