I've been to a marvelous party (in music & sound)
Last week Alex e-mailed me about the links to my online mixes, and pointed me in the direction of a video piece he'd done. The description on Vimeo reads: In 2002, I was a big fan of Underworld, so I enjoyed The Divine Comedy's cover of a Noe ... Read More
Maybe ending the draft wasn't such a hot idea after all... (in politics)

If I'm still alive after this f#@$&^% flu, I'll be at SxSW (in music & sound)
Please come on by if you're there. It's my first time, so I assume it's madness for 3 days. The main event is produced by my friend Sang from Chicago, and I'm appearing with Maker, Intel, and Pickel, who are all killer. The Jetset events are co- ... Read More
