real quick
I want to jot down this fun idea. You know how there are those really sticky moral issues like abortion, illegal drug distribution, etc etc? My views, obviously, are pretty god damn liberal... but it would be fun to get some authors together and write a bunch of short story scenarios describing everything from "giving granny pot for her glaucoma ( Read more... ) -
a dj mix
Last night, I wanted to hear how two songs sounded together, then added another, then just rocked out for a while, as my girlfriend fed me bacon. Luckily, I was recording! So here it is, flaws and all, best played loud.

So there's this concept that I've been fixated on for about a year now. I try not to reduce philosophy to science, but natural stories can be as illustrative as any myth or legend, right? You'll have to bear with me a bit if you're a biologist -- I am just barely educated ( Read more... ) -
power overwhelming
I went to bed early last night so I could wake early, gear up, and ride the motorcycle to work. Unfortunately I passed out before setting my alarm, and slept an impossibly orgasmic nine hours. Sleeping well and waking early makes me crackle with energy by noon; I just hate that I'm stuck at work when I'm feeling this productive and creative. My ( Read more... ) -

Okay okay. Look. We're all eukaryotes here -- many of us somewhat mature. And yes, we don't know why we (as individuals) don't always take care of ourselves. And part of what makes life interesting and rewarding is doing kind and pleasurable things for others. But why depend on loved ones to take care of your own rather basic needs, and get ( Read more... ) -
dance music
I don't go to parties like I used to. :( But the thing a lot of my friends don't understand about electronic dance music: listening to trance and jungle, etc is like sprinting, and listening to prog house is like running a marathon. Dancing goes the same way: I loved seeing a dancefloor at 4:00 a.m., full of sweaty, exhausted people, all in for ( Read more... ) -

shape notes and earnest old white men with big noses
I was raised Christian in Appalachia -- Missionary Baptist. My parents were modern, I guess, in that they actually allowed their ability to think interleave with their faith instead of just blocking logic out. They defied my dad's family by bringing my outcast gay great-uncle (and his adorable partner Larry) over for Thanksgiving dinner every ( Read more... ) -
remorseful bill cosby
Am I to understand that Bill Cosby never, in fact, actually stated, "People think I'm Bill Cosby... but I'm really tooth decay," in reference to his Pepsi endorsements? Is sounds like a sample when listening to Negativland's album Dispepsi, but. Maybe it's a little audio mosaic they fabricated. Regretfully, a query on Google for "remorseful bill ( Read more... ) -
music and the ability to enjoy it as a community
Something has been on my mind for a few weeks. I think it all started when I heard, on the radio, a home recording from the late 1940s of a bunch of folks singing some holiday songs. Some singers were hilariously lacking in tune, but they were all laughing and having a grand time. I was skeptical of its authenticity, or at least its historical ( Read more... )
