don't know about other europeans (like Spaniards for instance), but seems to me Americans curse a lot more than Germans. here i get the feeling that only uneducated people use swear words a lot, where as in the US everyone does it, and sometimes especially intellectuals, i suppose trying to be...

maybe here we can talk about various things related to them... really i dont envy kids growing up today... the going is going to get rougher as they get older. berlin is a great place to raise a child, as it is so safe with low crime rate and i see 7 year olds riding the trains by...

it is said that the drum itself was invented in Africa. and as far as i'm concerned, all modern pop and especially dance music have deep roots in the musical traditions of that continent. i have made the admittedly sensationalist proclamation "techno comes from Africa", and here is an...

not a happy post for the beginning of the new year, be warned. had a dinner party last night and there was someone who works as camera man for the UN, just arriving in Berlin a few hours earlier, after being stationed in various parts of Africa for the past 8 years: mainly Uganda, Rwanda, and...

(dubstep and otherwise) if you've got half of a luke-warm idea, or better yet, some neat little sound you randomly acheived by piling a bunch of effects on top of each other, please, do us all* a favor: do not repeat it for 4 minutes and send it out to be released. instead, work on it more and...

never used to, but my laptop has gotten into the habit of doing spontaneous Glitch remixes of what ever i'm listening to. when i'm doing something in like a graphics app, not especially demanding task either, sometimes the sound just gets all digi-distorted. and not just itunes, all sound...

i recently lost everything in storage in the US due to the fact that i forgot to pay rent for a few months and did not realize their 3 months no rent = auction everything off rule. this means my collection of books and and art books - a few things not replaceable; my pretty great wardrobe...

some may have noticed me sometimes posting at all kinds of ungodly hours of the night -- my schedule, which really does not exist, but if it did, would be completely fucked according to any standard of social normalcy. i'll wake up at 4AM and if i don't feel like sleeping, i'll work on dj sets...

the new woody allen flick is an exercise in cliches, the cliche of cliches, and meta cliches. but there were a few saving cliches, like the hysterical spanish girl... perfect! :D don't know what people see in s. johanson. so blah.

it was raining, i was on my bike, illegally crossing a major intersection and making a left turn, was listening to that track on Diary Of with the little voice sample which sounds like squarepusher, and this sound of screeching tires --- i pictured a truck sliding toward me, with breaks locked...

been up all night, it's 6AM and just had a brain um... hiccup: the XXXL tall tees rappers wear that go down to they knees are a contemporary stylistic manifestation of traditional African dress -- which is, I'm no expert but from everything i've seen, always baggy. (has this been talked about...

i'm thinking of /Rupture's first 2 mashup albums, and how they were able to be released (albeit by the very indie Tigerbeat) with many big artists like Missy D samples (more like entire sections of songs) on there... do you think they cleared ALL of them??? i guess they probably just said...

anyone know how he's getting on in the mid east? wheres he at anyhow? i tried PMing but his box is always full and not been around in for ever.

don't know how many around here are interested but i recently found a digital treasure trove: 2,300 works, 3 GB. (above is reduced size, all files are much higher resolution) download links here a pre-happy holiday of sorts... (this stuff is public domain so mods do not remove!)

sorry not a dissertation on interactivity, brain chemistry and learning trying to figure out what to get a very bright 9 year old girl in terms of a good, hopefully both educational and fun, but would settle for just fun, game for mac. any suggestions? hundreds turn up on a search and a lot...

Afro-Asian Dubstep: FUSION ONE this is a mash-up album fusing global traditional music and modern dub, grime, bass and electronics. (made with material originally prepared for Fusion Festival 2008) if you've ever wondered what Digital Gamelan is like, how Capetown Gospel singers sound in...

what are they? my first exposure to Grime was the CDRs Woebot sent me, and my favorite was the one from 2003. but i don't know who any of the artists are because they were unlabeled and untagged. who did that song "sell drugs sex gals smoke weed that's me"? listening to Lightnin and...

what little i know about revisionist history and the fictional divide between "east" and "west": during the first half of Greek empire everything came from Persia: food, music, technology, philosphy, mathematics, astronomy, religion, medicine, fashion, etc, etc, etc, etc. and it was not until...
