Remember when Michael Jordan tried his hand at Baseball? Or when Shaq tried acting /rapping / being a cop. Or when Jim Carey tried "serious roles". Most people are born talented with one skill, and one skill only. Attempting to break from these norms can be devastating to a fan base. You see, sometimes when rappers get bored with rapping the results are excruciatingly terrible (Kanye West's Entire New Album). And sometimes when rappers think they can get out of the vocal booth and into the studio to try production, a fatherly figure needs to really step in [...]
Fri 26th - the Cube , Bristol. Presented by Qu-Junktions ...Arrived half way through some films from Fonal label owner - Sami Sanpakkila. Powder-flake snowscapes, an erased face running through the white, trees nebula like to the sky, drawing slow mo circles, then moving on to explorations of Kemialliset Ystavat burning the midnight oil - All available space littered in wires/pedals [...]
How camp is that statue? I took that photo last year in Tampere, on my pilgrimage to the home of the wonderful Fonal label. If you haven't been, I can recommend the trip - Tampere is a lively place, with a bustling arts scene, fascinating museums (the Moomin and Lenin ones are [...]

Hello beautiful friends. I trust gravity is not keeping you down on this beautiful Sunday, is it? Unless of course, you're living in Vermont (as pictured above, six years ago), where temperatures are starting to drop already. After a miserable, rainy Friday night, the rest of the weekend has been beautiful. And how did I spend my time, you ask? Why, getting drunk on Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale and Port Brewing Wipe Out IPA of course! Today I joined a local bird-watching group for a picnic and some vino in the park. Then shared tasty [...]
My dear friend (and industry insider!) Nat was kind enough to share with me the final artwork for the forthcoming Alejandro Jorodowsky DVD boxed set , which will include Fando YLis , El Topo , and Holy Mountain . For a full-sized view, just click the image: Also, it's Sunday. Time for a new compilation. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or [...]
With all the attention and praise heaped upon FM3's buddha machine, I'm kinda surprised that this one has fallen under the collective radar out there. Henke, an established electronic musician as a member of Monolake and part of the team that put together the Ableton Software, has taken on the task of manipulating the famed Buddha Machine's loops into 10 hypnotic dronescapes. The pieces could be nothing more than tranquil but Henke seems to do more than just play the loops one on top of another as the title would suggest. More often that not each piece samples one of [...]
So I was all set to do a big-ass post yesterday, but then Shanna Moakler bitch-slapped Paris Hilton and I had to work late (yes, I am officially writing for three people now); hence random crap today. But it's good random crap. The musical equivalent of pooping a bouquet of daisies, even. Datarock, "Fa-fa-fa" - By now, of course, the cat's pretty much out of the bag on "Fa-fa-fa"; I'd really been hoping that I'd be the one to brighten the blogosphere with its introduction, but then again I never really [...]
