UK Girl Group Emerge As New iBand Contender
iPhone Savior — It's not often that I get an email tip from a Creative Manager at Sony Music Entertainment UK pointing me to an unsigned group of girly girls playing iPhone instruments. This all girl band go by the name "The Mentalists", seen here performing a wicked cover of "Kids" by the wildly popular UK band MGMT using only the iPhone and iPod touch to dazzle a crowd. Their performance is far from musical perfection, but who cares, it's all about iPhone domination in the UK. Though "The Mentalists' are way more than just an iBand by design, it's ...

London's The Mentalists Cover MGMT on iPhones [IPhone Apps]

And since girls who play iPhones is simply a fetish I made up just now, you can imagine my surprise when faithful Macenstein reader Antonio sent us this clip of the UK girl group The Mentalists ...

Leaf Trombone out now in the App Store
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Odds and ends, Developer, iPhone, App Store I've been down on the fine folks at Smule in the past -- I've said that their app Ocarina seems kind of silly (even if people have created some pretty awesome stuff with it and other less annoying music apps). And about the only thing they could have done to make it up to me was to develop some sort of super massively multiplayer music app, some app in which you could play a tune and have it sent all around the world. So I guess I have to call off my pretend grudge against them ...
