The GOP just had its best week in the past nine years or so.

The whole North Korea scenario this past couple months seems to have played out like every other North Korea crisis of the past twenty years. But if NK had bombed some island off the coast of South Korea or sunk a fishing boat, would Vice have apologized for going there with a washed up...

Ace of Base's Secret Nazi Past in Noisey is based on a documentary released in 1997, a cd reissued in 1998 and a youtube video uploaded in 2011.

Do they still have those photos taken on the streets of New York or Toronto/Montreal with snarky comments about the way people dress or look? They don't take money from certain people but they sell full page ads to American Apparel and their CEO who has a way of being sued for sexual harassment...

Deep Forest acted like they had the ethnomusicologists permission or acceptance for the sample. They had just walked into a library to find the record. Some guy even went back to the Solomon Islands or wherever it is looking for the lady singing on the original. Herbie Hancock acted like the...

I think throughout his career LA's behavior was justified as "being competitive". Any kind of delta bravo story about the guy was just passed on as "he just cares about winning". Even one of the hosts on ESPN knew him in High School and kept claiming "he was just supercompetitive....and wants to...

I knew timbo had produced the queefcore track Apologize by OneRepublic, then when I heard the drums on Good Life I though he had done that one too. Turned out it was some other guy.

The thing about EDM is that all the dj's will play the exact same stuff over and over again. Its great that they get booked in Vegas and make tens of thousands over a weekend for a bunch of "day club" gigs, but they get to play tracks everybody has heard already while they do it. Its more about...

Outadiway? I didn't anticipate Dubbel Dutch winding up here:

Leave valuables in hotel/hostel, go to minibus station, get in the loudest minibus, don't ask where the minibus is going, pray the minibus doesn't get on the highway.

These two guys bumped into each other in the jungles of South America while searching for traditional music to sample/reissue/steal from. One of them said something like Dr. Byrne I Presume.....? Great stuff.

It gets worse, you could get a sex crime conviction for something a friend or person you just met does. Its like you give a person a ride to a party and they do something stupid, then they come up with some ridiculous story where it was really your idea or something. Not having a good lawyer can...

Fatima Al Qadiri brought some remix talent for her latest release:

Being reminded of gwo-ka makes me remember the David Murray Gwo-Tet album: I think it had something to do with gwo-ka.

I guess its the same reason vinyl from Japan is so expensive.

Ron Paul held a campaign event in the poorest zip code in MI, and sent a campaign letter in Arabic aimed at the largest Arabic American community in the USA in Detroit. I would have thought he would win at least one county in the UP, eh?

Ego trip has been giving the music some love recently, http://www.egotripland.com/dj-rashad-dj-spinns-10-favorite-sample-flips/

Any predictions for how things are going to shake out in the next two weeks? If Santo wins tonight, he could win OH and probably every state between PA and CO. If he loses and fundraising slows, I still think he can sleepwalk and win PA, WV, OK, KS. I can't see Gingrich winning anywhere but the...
