    Worst Mistake in History of Human Race

    the Jarred Diamond article below is too important to stay buried in page 14 of some political thread. (obviously those who have joined in the discussion with me before feel free to ignore) __________________________ i have been interested in the fundamental claims (if not the concrete...

    virtues of dj vs. producing

    have always thought that my true calling is making, rather than spinning. and that djing is a step on the road toward a debut album... but now i'm not so sure. one always (at least i do) encounter this attitude that djs are somehow less than producers ("are you JUST a dj or do you also make...

    peculiar yet great moments

    genre defying, or just reputation defying; improbable yet (at least partially) awesome. gang gang dance - god's money : can't think of too many examples of rock bands taking rhythmic cues from dancehall. and the lo fi electronics... orbital - the box (single) : just heard this again...

    kano last night

    began the set with a string of bangers, a few old, a few off the forthcoming. really on-point flow - to the extent of sounding almost too rehearsed. but after half to a dozen songs or so the lesser ones come on, and the unfunkiness started to get grating... these shows would benefit from a...

    humour: media / politics

    just saw the Simpsons movie and was thinking this -- humour can be liberating, defiant, or even insurrectionary, when you laugh in the face of authority. but in American media humour becomes a very efficient tool used by authority to pacify- a way to shrug off and ignore things we need to...

    sight vs. hearing

    a friend made the observation that the term "communication design" means visual design, while human communication itself arguably has more to do with audio. also in the education of children, looking is focused on as a means for knowledge to enter the brain, while hearing is often ignored or...

    how to deal with ignorance

    i think this is one of the most important things one has to learn -- how do you deal with people who have the conceit, arrogance, and self righteousness which comes with ignorance. often the most adamant and self assured people are the most misinformed and convoluted, acting out of fear without...

    105 Bpm

    making a mix at the mo around 105 -- like the uppest of uptempo hiphop, or the downest of downtempo house. it seems this is a really good groovy party dance tempo -- energizing yet sexy and mellow at the sametime. a lot of 70s soul funk floor fillers are in this range, as is a lot of cumbia...
