Black Cab Sessions Black Cab Sessions The Black Cab Sessions is a series of one-song performances by musicians and poets recorded in the back of a black cab and filmed for an internet audience. A black cab is a type of hackney carriage (taxicab, An Austin FX4 or a Metrocab) common to Britain. The sessions are recorded while the black cab that serves as the studio travels through city streets, usually in London, England. Most of the performances feature rock bands, ranging from popular acts such as Death Cab for Cutie, The Kooks and My Morning Jacket to lesser known acts such as
Space Taxi and a shooting robot relating to "RobotWar" (1981, Silas S. Warner). Kutcher wrote "Space Taxi" while a freshman at Hopkins University. The physics in the game were influenced by "Lunar Lander". "Space Taxi" was cloned several times for the Amiga, once keeping the original name and once as "AirTaxi". A similar game on the PC was called "Ugh!", where the player controls a caveman with a flying contraption. For Windows Phone a remake of the first eight levels was published in 2012 as "Sketch Taxi". "Space Taxi 2", an authorized sequel to "Space Taxi", was released by Twilight Games in
