I choose to start my weeklong Sky Saxon remembrance with Future because it's the Seeds album I've listened to the most of late. It's their third full-length effort as a group and dropped in '67 , the year so many call the Alpha of the 1960s. [...]
photo: Philofoto I'd love to be on a beach playing football right now. Anyway I haven't posted in a while so I suppose today would be as good a day as ever. First song up today is one which I've had for a while which is a Jason Nevins remix of Kat DeLuna's new single "Dance Bailalo." I prefer this song to "Unstoppable" by a long way which I thought was dire. This is quite nice and up-tempo and I really like the chorus on it. Jason Nevin's remix is especially good - The second [...]
A great day on Sunday – got to town, checked in to hotel and then off to the Tate Modern – saw the Futurism show and the Per Kirkeby – too much to absorb in one go, really, so another visit asap. The Futurism exhibition is amazing, the Kirkeby... mmm, not sure, his early stuff looks a bit scrappy but some of the later enormous canvases have a certain power. Reserved judgement – too quick a shunt round to make up my mind. Then off to the Festival Hall down the river walk – [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates but one of my sisters is in labour, 2 days and still no baby... Patience is not exactly my grand forte, or well, I have patience to crack codes and loose myself in a war of pixels but zero for these kinda things, the champers is still on ice... That's that, now back to the blog-buiz, them remixes for Major Lazer just keep on coming. First up from the world of Major Lazer's zombie warfare; a great remix of 'Hold The Line' from Futures . [...]
Major Lazer - Hold the Line (Futures Remix) "Hold the Line" Remix by Futures features Santigold and Mr. Lex, track from Major Lazer 's album Guns Don't Kill People Lazer's Do .
I have been deeply embedded in an ongoing project which is moving nicely forwards... so time for a break! Off to London later on to have a mosey round the Futurism Exhibition at the Tate Modern. A walk down by the river, then grab a beer and off to James 'Blood' Ulmer's gig at my unfavourite venue... hope the support is better than they usually are... report tomorrow... Part of Ornette's Meltdown Festival - going to catch him on sunday night...

L'Europe a peur. La libération de Julien Coupable réveille de mauvais souvenirs. Cet homme avait été arrêté en 2008 par les forces de sécurité antiterroristes de l'époque, puis relâché. Il était à ce moment-là soupçonné d'avoir organisé le sabotage de lignes de TGV. Il avait ensuite été relâché faute de preuves, ce qui avait amené la ministre de l'Intérieur Michèle Jésus-Marie à devoir démissionner. Julien Coupable était alors devenu l'icône de la rébellion d'ultra-gauche, et on avait vu sa photo orner des tee-shirts, des pancartes, etc. durant les émeutes de septembre 2009. [...]

The Bike Riding Future Here's a rad bike design idea: a changing frame that adjusts into unique modes for smooth, sustained riding -Variable Frame Bike Lets You Recline on the Go.
A Machine That Creates Peace Dear Friends, The run of FUTURITY that is ending this weekend has been a really major development for my band and for me as an artist. The experience of collaborating with so many wonderful performers, designers, directors, and talented people has been an unbelievable blessing that has brought forth a really original piece of performance. I came up with the idea for a musical about a a Civil War soldier that wants to be a science fiction writer almost [...]

The artist formerly known as B.o.B. struggles for his identity
According to the brief bio on his MySpace page , Nashville rapper Future has been searching for the right sound – first dabbling with "conscious rap" à la Kanye West, and settling now on the sparse, electro sound of acts like N.E.R.D. and Outkast. And while there are several solid examples of the latter style, it's this house-heavy song "Grow Old With You" that really gets me going. My two cents: follow Dizzee Rascal's lead with more club-ready rap tracks. Worked well for him... Future: Grow Old [...]
Band: The Lisps From: Brooklyn, NY Sound: Vaudevillian shenanigans and avant-garde Americana for the 21st century Similar Artists: Violent Femmes, Moldy Peaches, Squirrel Nut Zippers, They Might Be Giants, The B-52s Listen Now: "Brackish Water" Eleven people are facing me, a singing and dancing phalanx stacked in three tiers cramming the room within this particular Prospect Heights loft to its physical limits. It's time for rehearsal, and there's not much time left. In front, [...]
