The Tony-B Machine

The Tony-B Machine, Version 2
It has recently come to my attention that not everyone knows what the Tony-B machine is. I need to fix this.

At my first job as an advertising executive (yes, thats right...miss executive to you), I caught my boss messing around with this thing. It wasn't hard to catch him - after all, this tony-b machine does produce NOISE. Well anyways, he showed me what he was up to - hitting all these buttons on this online app, makes all these different techno sounds, and viola! it's kind of like you're a DJ for a crowd who takes a love of repetition to a whole new level. But I'll be damned if I didn't go straight back to my desk, put headphones on, and start rocking out. Truth be told, I will still put my noise cancelings on at work and do this when I'm tired of arguing with attorneys.

There used to be only one of these "machines" and now there are three. I like 2 the best. It's pretty rudimentary but if you get good at it, you'll surprise yourself with a killer drop or loop or some other dj lingo blah blah. You can even record it and put it to a YouTube video and get famous for like 35 seconds so let the sparks fly - http://www.tony-b.org/.

Keep on rockin' me baby.
