PoweryBase Wants To Handle Your Bills in Style

BILLS

If you’ve got stacks of bills to pay and can’t keep them straight from month to month, App Store developer PoweryBase has come to your rescue.

The creators of the excellent NotifyMe (available in both free and paid versions) have just unleashed Bills ~ On Your Table, their latest app for the iPhone and iPod touch which promises to help bring order to your bill-paying madness.

Bills ~ On Your Table is a simple app to store and track various types of bills and expenses with a specific due date, whether it’s repeating or not. Among the many types of bills that the app can make short work of? Phone bills, cable TV bills, credit cards, electric and utility bills, account subscriptions, loans, mortgages -- you name it!

The main purpose of Bills ~ On Your Table is to prevent you from forgetting -- when a bill or an expense is due, you are reminded to pay it. Thanks to the main overview screen as well as push notifications (both before and at the time the bill is due), you can always stay on top of your due dates. Best of all, the app is complemented by web access where you can also create and manage bills which sync back to your device.

Bills ~ On Your Table supports all 170 currencies, can track your bills and mark them as paid or unpaid, keeps a payment log with a history of your actions, supports auto pay, includes a passcode lock to keep your data safe from prying eyes, lifetime push notifications (with no subscription fees!) and a gorgeous interface that’s well worth the price of admission alone.

The 5.3MB Bills ~ On Your Table download requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch. The app just launched and has a $1.99 introductory price for a limited time, so be sure to grab it before the price goes up.

Nash Bridges THE GIG Nate Chinen Jazz at Lincoln Center Ted Nash

A few years ago, saxophonist and flutist Ted Nash received a commission from Jazz at Lincoln Center, in cahoots with the Museum of Modern Art. The result was Portrait in Seven Shades, a program that premiered at Frederick P. Rose Hall. A companion studio album is due out a week from today. (It’s available for preorder through Amazon, where you can preview tracks.)
A few recent spins of the album -- Jazz at Lincoln Center’s first release in conjunction with the Orchard, and its first new release of any sort in nearly four years -- reconfirmed my enthusiasm for the music. Nash, whose solo career, while always mindful of traditions, reaches well outside a “traditional” nexus, features the orchestra in its most flattering light. The playing is strong, the writing robust. I imagine it will go over just as well next week (Feb. 4 to 6) as it did two years ago.

Back then, I covered Portrait with a lengthy feature about Nash and his project. There’s not a whole lot to add now, except that I’m especially glad no Picassos were damaged in the making of this piece. Also: if you have five spare minutes, check out the accompanying video (scroll past “multimedia” down to “video,” and then watch in Full Screen mode). In addition to Nash’s comments and some rehearsal footage, you’ll see a shot of this reporter interrogating his subject in front of Demoiselles d’Avignon. Ann Temkin, soon to be installed as MoMA’s chief curator, was smart enough to stay out of the frame.

Brad Mehldau: Highway Rider by Nate Chinen

Happy Holidays, everybody. I bring you glad tidings of a new Brad Mehldau album, produced by Jon Brion. That’s right: Nonesuch is due to release Highway Rider, a double CD, on Feb. 23 [March 16]. It’ll be the first Mehldau-Brion collaboration since Largo, from 2002:



Last November, when Mehldau and Brion were mixing the album in Los Angeles, I spent about eight hours in the studio with them, taking notes for a forthcoming Arts & Leisure feature. I got a ton of material, some of which I’ll be posting here as we get closer to release date.


Observing Jon Brion at a board is not unlike watching Mehldau at the piano; it’s his chief instrument, and he approaches it with extrasensory focus and an almost surgical precision. (At one point, mixing a track with a drum part by Matt Chamberlain, he rode the controls manually, in real time. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say he functioned as a member of the band.)

So how does Highway Rider sound? Not at all like Largo Part Deux, which may disappoint some fans initially -- that is, until they hear the results. In the years since his first Brion production, Mehldau has delved ever more seriously into orchestration, teasing out the Romantic undercurrent that has always run through his music. The overture to the new album involves a somber piano prelude, a brooding upwelling of strings and, as the clincher, some gorgeous tenor filigree from Joshua Redman. (The Brad Mehldau Trio -- with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard -- holds down the core of the album. Redman and Chamberlain are guests, as is the chamber orchestra, conducted by Dan Coleman.)

Advance music for the record should be going out soon. I’m looking forward to hearing it again, and to tracking the ripples of response. Frankly I’m shocked that word of this collaboration didn’t leak at any point within the last year. There’ll be more on this project, in this space, fairly soon. Service note, meanwhile: Mehldau will be at the Highline Ballroom, playing solo piano in a benefit for Jazz Reach, on Jan. 14.

Big Brothers Satellites orbiting Earth

As data visualization has become more popular, bad infographics have started to crop up more and more frequently. Thankfully, we can always rely on Michael Paukner to make very, very good ones. Here he shows the satellites orbiting our planet.

Russia, as you might expect, has a whole lot of satellites that are no longer functioning. China is responsible for a surprisingly large amount of tiny space trash, though I'm not exactly clear on what that is. America, of course, is responsible for the largest amount of space trash.

Seeing how many broken satellites remain in orbit instantly reminded me of the scene in Wall-E in which the Earth of the future is seen enveloped in a layer of orbiting techno-trash. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Michael Paukner has a lot of other awesome stuff, space-related and otherwise, so check out his Flickr if you're interested. [Michael Paukner via We Love Dataviz]
