I'll put a word in for Serato (Rane's version of Final Scratch). You still use vinyl, at least I do, although it does have an internal mixing capability. It doesn't map your tunes, you still have to beatmatch, and you have to bpm things yourself beforehand (but ltjbpm is pretty easy to use) If...

yes. oh, and there's lots of footage of Monk on YouTube. Quality stuff.

Hi y'all. we are still looking to play New Year's Eve since we have no confirmation on our original idea. Any of y'all looking for a couple of djs who can throw down all kinds of whatnots, you know we're good for it. But the news anyway is that we will definitely be playing Pure Fire the...

Hey Francesco thanks a million for posting. I really do want to know what's happening. Do you have a blog? is it safe to blog? as far as better information online - are the links I posted any good for you, or do you recommend something better? I just think it's really important, really big...

So, fighting in the streets, the army and federal police sent in, sexually assaulting female protestors. Retaliation includings (at some points) sending the federal police into full flight and beating up one downed officer (of course that footage is played over and over again on national news...

I don't see any hate. I see a lot of people saying that they respect his work but can't get into it. FWIW, I feel a bit the same way. I enjoyed aspects of My Name Is Red, especially the historical and artistic scenarios as described, but I found it difficult going in terms of connecting to...

when you read these posts out loud, is 'nuum pronounced "Nyew Um" ?

Yeah my impression wasn't that the articles said that the US is intedning to mine the Gulf or anything. But I think that's a pretty standard trick from the US - to position US troops (or invent them), and then provoke an incident in order to go to war publicly. you may be right that the US...

Anyone know more about this? I received this email from someone connected with indymedia, with links to support it that are about a week old. It suggests the US is preparing a setup for a war with Iran: "US Warships are currently steaming toward the Persian Gulf, Iran's front yard, scheduled to...

and Balkan Beat Box! Some of the tunes from their album went down a treat with audiences this last tour.

Well, it is success in the marketing world. That happened with drumnbass too, where it broke in the background of commercials well before artists came over from the UK. But yeah, she was even mentioned by name in the ad I saw. Good on her, I say!

If someone can't afford to sink some costs in promotional activity (as it seems to be for some indie music, as well as pop like JT etc) like releasing music for free, that doesn't mean that they are de facto going to make money from selling it, no matter how much they deserve it. It may suck...

and a modern dancer and a film writer and director!

Brooklyn Follies, by Paul Auster. awesome. has the heart that many of his other (admittedly fine) books lack.

Jason Forrest/Donna Summer, the breakcore producer, running cockrockdisco records. He was originally a visual artist.

Kid K and I are supposed to fly to Heathrow tomorrow, and out again the next day. So we'll report back on any hijinx. Boingboing.net has some interesting pictures of Airport officials pouring confiscated liquids into big barrels in teh middle of the airport, surrounded by people. If they really...

Yes y'all, it's your chance. We're playing at Rhythm Factory tomorrow (Friday June 30th) with Mathhead, Adverse Camber, Torment, and peeps from Resonance FM, it's a benefit for Resonance FM, good cause, good music. We play in Bristol the following weekend, as well. Check this site for the...

Sad! we'll just miss them. Definitely had been planning to drop by on the tour.

Re-reading Pat Barker, far and away one of my favorite English writers. The entire Regeneration trilogy is currently falling apart on my bookshelf from being read so many times. On the other side, although not as recently read, Angela Carter is also pretty amazing. The Ventriloquist's Tale, by...

Yeah, absolutely disgusting how this is being spun. Many of the 465 prisoners are innocent civilians turned in by bounty hunters who were paid a small fortune -- no questions asked -- for every member of "Al Qaeda" that they delivered to U.S. authorities. It's clear that many are people who...
