This one goes out to Jed. What is so great about this movie? I found it really tedious. Just when you think something is going to happen or some point is about to be made, nothing happens. The movie feels exactly like the main character, you just want to slap her and say "stop whining you...

A little uncomfortable tooting my horn so much... Go to http://wmbc.umbc.edu and hit Hi-Fi mp3 at the top to listen to a streaming broadcast of me mixing some techno somewhat ineptly. Mostly minimal and hard kind of stuff like Jeff Mills, Maurizio, Steve Stoll. Edit: It's over now of course...

I know some of you are definitely UR fans so I thought this article may be interesting. http://www.freep.com/entertainment/videogames/midclub-bar310e_20050410.htm I love UR but it occupies this weird place. It seems much more accesible than most techno because of the melodies and symphonic...

Here's a mix I cooked up in Acid a few years ago. I took rave tunes from around 1990 to 1992 that I never listened to and made something that I could enjoy in the car. Influenced by Hawtin's DE9:Closer to the Edit and Hit the Decks series of mixes. Some of the tracks were heavily edited to...

Can we have a spam forum for things like event listings/for sale lists etc. or can this stuff go in the miscellaneous forums? Or is it not welcome at all?

Does anyone know of a place on the web where I could download all the results for NBA for the latest season, preferably in a CSV format? I found some sites with results for 2003-2004 but I would like something that is current. Also interested in data on daily closes for Dow Jones and such...

Music videos: good, bad? I generally dislike them because they impose some kind of narrative structure to a music piece where it is often inappropriate. Sometimes, when they are more abstract, they could create something greater than music by itself, a separate art piece. What really annoys...

I got "Oldboy" from a local rental store and it had a sticker on the box from the staff "The City of God of 2004". I think they were comparing the grandiosity, or level of achievement there rather than any thematic or stylistic similarity but it made me think anyway. I really enjoyed "City of...

This has been bugging me for a while now. You know that famous scene in "Wildstyle" where he goes "you've heard it on the radio, you've seen it on the TV show. A to the K, A to the motherfucking Z" What does that last sentence mean? Google is useless, all I get are Cypress Hill lyrics for...

Was walking out of a video rental store and heard the Run's House break going really fast out of the corner of my ear. I came closer and heard the distinctive stabs. As my mind is trying to place it, I walk into the store. "where's the music coming from?". The salesguy points at the screen...

Not my kind of thing and the whole "no strings" thing is a bit "who cares?" but here is a website for a new Bruce Lee type martial arts movie. The trailer looks pretty cool: http://www.ongbakmovie.com/ Thai fighting didn't really get its moment in the spotlight yet. So what was the latest...

I remember reading something along the lines of Grime producers making tunes on Gameboys (or was it Playstation?). Maybe I am confusing it with my friends fantasy to have a band where he would play some instrument that was like a gameboy. Anyway, I thought it was a joke and then I found this...

I know a lot of you are vinyl junkies so maybe you can help me out here. How does one remove static from records? I got this cheap brush thing with a little bottle of purportedly anti-static liquid. It does ok at removing dust although if you don't wait for the liquid to properly seep in, it...

Anyone have any recommendation on books on the subject? Fiction or non-fiction as long as it is interesting. I am thinking along the lines of those bits in "Snowcrash" by Bruce Sterling that talk about Sumerian mythology. So I am not looking for a dry account of the beliefs of Sumerians for...
