Da Movelt Posse are back with ass grabs and smashed speaker cabs. A ghetto juking drive by courtesy of Big Dope P . You'll find 9 tracks in this remix package, each in your face and fornicating in it's own lingo. Beehive techno via Acid Jack and chopped sample house a la old Surkin by Kurbatov , there's something in here for everyone. With all the vibes and variety, it's hard to pick just one but Policy has been getting the needle drop lately. A laid back view on the future, sensual pads and [...]

"Alamo" by Liz Hickok [ Rush Hour Direct Current ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) Minted last year, Rush Hour's Direct Current sub-label has thus far done a commendable job of cultivating a cohesive aesthetic in both sleeve design and production. Prior releases by FaltyDL, Cosmin TRG, and Aardvarck have showcased glossy, adventurous takes on garage-leaning house, and Specialty Party , the new 123 from New York producer Policy, fits in neatly with them. The two [...]
Yesterday, the Senate ratified not only SMART , but also the 9/11 First Responders bill , which had died in the Senate, but after news organizations shamed Republicans they took another vote and, surprise, the bill past. Actually, that's not entirely true, a compromise was reached with each side giving a little and the bill passed unanimously. Both seem like uncontroversial and necessary bills, but they were the most difficult to pass. And it should be noted that yeah, the economy still sucks, but in two years the Obama administration has done quite a lot and [...]
Nicholas Kristoff in the New York Times : The richest 1 percent of Americans now take home almost 24 percent of income, up from almost 9 percent in 1976. As Timothy Noah of Slate noted in an excellent series on inequality, the United States now arguably has a more unequal distribution of wealth than traditional banana republics like Nicaragua, Venezuela and Guyana. C.E.O.'s of the largest American companies earned an average of 42 times as much as the average worker in 1980, but 531 times as much in 2001. Perhaps the most astounding [...]

The queen is out! What is a "Nazi policy?" The conservatives are out of their minds trying to brand Obama the next Hitler because he wants to extend healthcare to every American. How is that a Nazi belief? Because they are equating health care reform with socialism? Public libraries are socialist, do you call your local librarian Lenin?

Tel un geek primaire mort de faim d'explosions, j'aurai pu me lancer sur les robots qui se cassent la tête à coups de métal . Mais l'intuition m'a poussé vers State of Play . La situation se place dans le contexte actuel d'un embranchement de peaux de vins entre une société privée qui essaie de s'emparer du marché public de l'armée aux états-unis tout en étant confronté à un député très droit joué par Ben Affleck . D'un autre côté, un vieux loup de mer du journalisme, interprété par [...]
It be the god flow. Statement before the US House of Representatives opposing resolution on Iran, June 19, 2009 I rise in reluctant opposition to H Res 560, which condemns the Iranian government for its recent actions during the unrest in that country. While I never condone violence, much less the violence that governments are only too willing to mete out to their own citizens, I am always very cautious about "condemning" the actions of governments overseas. As an elected member of the United States House of Representatives, I have [...]
Policy's eponymous debut EP reminds me a lot of the long defunct band Dovetail Joint. For those of you who aren't in the know Dovetail Joint owned the market on brooding quasi radio friendly rock during about three weeks of the late nineties. Think Muse meets Coldplay. Regardless of awkward and random associations made by my fractured mind this EP is a solid rock debut for a band who seems to have struggled to stay, and play, together. Below I've included my favorite track off the EP. I hope you enjoy it. [...]
Heute stelle ich mal eine Reihe von Bands vor, die ich hier auf meiner Liste stehen habe und zu denen mir irgendwie nicht genug für einen umfängliches Posting einfällt - die aber trotzdem gut sind! Jellybelly - Kleine Ergänzung zu meinem Asien-Special von vor einigen Wochen. Diese indonesische Band weiß, was Shoegazer wollen. Leider ist ihre «Intro» -EP mal wieder außerhalb Asiens nicht zu bekommen, was mehr als nur bedauerlich ist, klingt das Trio doch wirklich perfekt nach 4AD-Noisepop aus dem UK. Vor allem «Loneliness dreamer» [...]
Los Angeles, CA "North" Policy on MySpace Policy on The Hype Machine
Gerade schaue ich in meinen virtuellen Postkasten und was find ich da? Richtig gute Musik! Nicht das das so selten vorkommen würde, aber die Tracks von Policy, so heißt die Band nämlich, muß ich sofort posten! Ich weiß zwar bisher gar nichts über die Band, die E-Mail mit den Promotracks war etwas, na sagen wir mal informationsdürftig und auch die Myspace Seite strotzt nicht gerade vor Infos der jungen Band. Auf jeden Fall finden wir da aber ein Bild der Band und noch ein paar weitere Tracks. Auf jedenfall erscheint nächsten Monat die Debüt EP, und die wird, wenn mich [...]
