I skipped all the coverage of the 9/11 commemorations today. The message seems to be “Never forget,” but what is it that we’re supposed to remember? I remember 9/11 very well: the immediate realization, when the second plane hit, that this was no accident, the WTF moment when we heard the Pentagon was burning. I remember trying to get to WFMU to do my first show afterwards, and being turned back by NJ State Patrol officers until I figured out an alternate way into Jersey City. I remember insisting that Sluggo and Dog Baxter go [...]
By Scott Tienken Watch more on Network Awesome (Plus the other 3 parts of this doc!) Adam Curtis’ 2003 Documentary The Century of the Self gets right to the business of reminding us what a mass of consumeristic sheep we have been molded into. He provides us with the story of Edward Bernays(1), the nephew of Freud who adapted his uncle’s theories concerning animalistic drives and deeply-sunken baser motives for the purposes of propaganda and, far [...]

Sleep, sleep, my little one; adrift in your replica solar ark, sweet dreams carry you closer to the western lands; and while you're at it, I'll just slip this lovely little ruby-colored ten-inch record onto your baby turntable and let it whisper Rosicrucian knowledge into your shell-like tiny ears. One of my all-time fave ten-inchers, this one is loaded up with phrases you'll be repeating for some time. Many of the recordings that came out in the early 1960's from San Jose's [...]

I'm not a shopper. I can't stand indecision. Shopping for clothes for me goes like this... does it look good? Yes! Buy 2 in different colors. Leave, and hopefully never come back. It's not a process I enjoy, unless I am shopping for music. So my food shopping experience is done late night for the reason of swiftness. I'm sure you can understand this. This evening, I went to my local weenie mart for provisions. It took me about 5 minutes to select the food and beverages I needed and I went to check [...]

Devo aren’t one of them. They’re the archest of art school pranksters, all wrapped up in parodying Western culture with affection and despair.

Мы любим Volta Cab за балеарик, за диско, за самый первый релиз на нашем лейбле, а с недавних пор - еще и за качественный, отечественный дип хаус. Наконец-то Костя нашел свой звук и теперь за выпуск его треков борются многие ведущие лейблы. Как результат - количество ипишек на виниле скоро дойдет до чертовой дюжины. Он - настоящая машина по производству хорошей музыки и я с радостью предлагаю вам в этом убедиться самим... MP3: Volta Cab - Propaganda MP3: Volta Cab - Something Wrong With [...]
