Dubstep Violin by Lindsey Stirling

Posted by jesse on Mar 29th, 2012 in Music | 0 comments

Lindsey Stirling had a strange, but wonderful idea – to mix the violin with the wonderful genre of dubstep! Without further introduction, I present you with a song titled Crystallize which is her first song experimenting with this mix. I really like it and hope you do as well.

This track can be downloaded from her website in high quality for $0.99! Please check out her website and support her at http://lindseystirlingviolin.com/store/crystallize-single/

I know it is older, but I am really digging this. I am going to have to pick up this album. I just thought I’d share. It is just good, smooth techno.

Issue #0

Issue #1

Issue #1 Variant

I must have missed this in October but I am pretty excited about Dark Horse’s upcoming Star Wars comic book series. It is called Dawn of the Jedi and is in the ground breaking pre-Republic era of the timeline. The first story arc (and hopefully not last) is called Force Storm. “Here’s your first look at the Star Wars of 25,000 years ago–before there were lightsabers, when the ties to the Force were new, and before the Jedi spread out into the galaxy.” The preview issue comes out on February 1st, 2012 followed by the first full issue on February 15th, 2012. I am pumped!
