I’m at rock the bells right now and it’s such an interesting group of people that are here. People from every possible background, different cultures, totally inconsistent socioeconomic backgrounds. There is really mo consistency in anything here, and it’s wonderful. It seems like the Internet age has further helped to blur the gaps. Though that is only speculation to how such a diverse group can converge, I feel that people’s appreciation of types of music is greatly due to the ease of access of so many different varieties of music. Furthermore, the creativity of artists has been fueled by the same access to multiple varieties of music. The music here also follows this eclectic convergence. A mix of hip-hop, rock, old school, electro, indie, baile funke, etc all combined to create amazing music. This helps me look forward to the future.

Interesting name, but a pretty amazing song. I added a very uninteresting, but very helpful intro loop to make it more dj-able. Enjoy

My first mobile blog from my new wordpress iphone app, very sick and very slick. I like phones that make me productive, but I definitely am enjoying using this gadget. Hopefully I’ll start blogging a little more now…

Sprokets! I was a lot younger when I used to watch this, but now I realize how brilliant the sketch was.  Here are some quotes I found on the web:

• “Vhy is it that the truly brilliant are doomed to a life of obscurity, surrounded by a sea of mediocrity, only to end up covered in sores in a pool of their own filth? Oh vell, the beat goes on.”
• “Vould you like to touch my monkey? Touch him! Love him! Liebe meine abst-monkey.”
• “Gregor Was, your presence intimidates me to the point of humiliation. Would you care to strike me?”
• “Genius! By seemingly embracing the cliches of the vest, he is underscoring its excruciating banality.”
• “In your film Irritant Number Four, the only images were that of a baby’s head and a toilet. Did you mean for me to scream?”
• “I’m happy as a little GIIIIIRL.”
• “You plug your show with the subtlety of a flying mallet.”
• “Your agony is gorgeous.”
• “Textures intrigue me.”
• “Your story has become tiresome.”
• “A fat man and a shprinkler are soon together.”—-Old Bavarian adage
• “Yes, Ve are doomed and I am filled with remorse, and it is most delicious.”
• “Sadly, Klaus is limited. But he is beautiful, is he not?”
• At Dieter’s Dance Party , in response to a record being rated -3 on a scale of 1 to 14, Dieter says, “Sadly, there are no integers on this scale, so your gangly adolescent attempt to be clever has proved futile.”
• “You are beautiful and angular.”
• “You disturb me to the point of insanity. There. I am insane now.”
• “Now is the time on Sprockets vhen ve dance.”

I have not yet experienced Japanese Curry before, but this writer discusses it in comparison to Heroin, “The only significant difference between the two is that eventually, if you stop doing heroin long enough, you are no longer addicted to it.” Anyway, I always like new things, and this one sounds interesting for sure.

I think I need this. It can help detect when a person’s mind wanders, and I’m the guiltier than Hitler when it comes to staying on topic. But when the mind wanders it seems that there is an indirectly very positive effect of coming upon other topics that when combined with the original might lead much more interesting ideas then the first or another tangential topics on their own. Yet another tangent. Point in case…

Maybe its just most useful when you really need to focus, like flying an airplane, driving a bus, driving a semi, drinking alcohol, etc..
