MUSIC: New Jack Techno on Turbo Recordings

OH MY.

this is exactly what i would want to hear on the dancefloor. check out that GINGY & BORDELLO track!

funny, sad, annoying, weird and amazing things

wow i think google is being nicer to WP7 users than eyeFone users, as evidenced by my ability to update blogger.  hooray!

today my brother informed me that Anaheim' LITTLE CABOOSE taco shop had a fire!!? i have said this before, and some don't believe me, but their hot sauce is one of the reqsons why i would not move out of Orange County.

free climber ALEX HONNOLD accomplished the Triple Crown of Yosemite with TOMMY CALDWELL in less than 24 hours...!!?  unbelievable, and freaking spectacular.

WOW so much stuff going on...  just a bit of what i can recall at ??am...

DOV DAVIDOFF and IAN EDWARDS were absolutely hilarious last week at the Hollywood Improv.

i went to a lecture about ART NOUVEAU today, and it bugged me that the lecturer couldn't or wouldn't pronounce French or German. and, i was possibly the youngest and truly the only non-white person in attendance. chick at the door directed me to ticket booth but her voice sounded as if she was thinking "are you SURE you're here for this lecture and not for the Asian antiquities?" i'll try to take a photo of the old ladies from part 2 next wk...

maybe lastly, i am annoyed by how more and more often, i hear about 'memoirists' who make $h!} up. sometimes, it's for some reason i don't care to research, but today, it was just for publicity. don't know why it bugs me, it just does. (what am i saying, of course i know why it bugs me!!?! ) pisses me off.

so-called 'bath salts' portrayal in the media continues to anger me, although there was a decent story about mephedrone, et al in SPIN this wk.

a prominent music therapy professor and listserv master was diagnosed with terminal metastasised adenocarcinoma of the lung. freaking bllshit.  and there's a new thing called the TOWER RECORDS PROJECT.

that's it, i'm tired.

Donna Summer dentist office mindblow

such a gorgeous song...but maybe not when you are 10 years old, in the dentist's chair hopped up on NO2, and this song comes over the intercom..which i was. just saying, 'twas a life changing moment.

i ♥ Giorgio Moroder, btw! and RIP CHUCK BROWN.

while i was on Vimeo watching Caine's Arcade...

i found this piece of awesomeness:

100% medically [IN] accurate

let it be known that today is the day that AlSto and PhiLe viewed the second full sequence... THANK YOU, Tom Sicks! i mean, Six!

the state of dance music at the Grammys

'I know it's not cool to get too hung up on "authenticity," but this was not what dance-music culture looks or feels like. Most DJs and laptop performers actually do something onstage.'

 Read Philip Sherburne's well-written piece at spin.com:  Dance Music at the Grammys: What Skrillex, Deadmau5, David Guetta, et al. Mean (or Don't) .

He's referring to the perplexing performance seen here:

"think of the possibilities of having multiple Quinns..."

...or venuses! whereas our recent January trip to Yosemite was documented by our friend thusly: my problem is that i could NOT view this photosynth document, which was developed using Microsoft technology, on my Windows 7.5 (WP7) "smart" phone!!!?? wtf, indeed.

my technologically superiour friend WaDi captured this wonderfully sewn together photosynth of our stop at a viewing spot just outside the big tunnel on the way to Yosemite Valley.

1% blows it for 99% of Post Secret app users

would you believe...an app has become TOO POPULAR??!

i don't know if this is true, or real, or neither, but i just read Frank Warren's post on his POST SECRET blog.  he states:

It pains me to announce that the PostSecret App is now closed. In some ways, this is because of its success. It reached the top-selling spot in the App Store and users shared over 2 million creative secrets.

Like the PostSecret Blog, the App was designed so each secret was absolutely anonymous. Unfortunately, that absolute anonymity made it very challenging to permanently remove determined users with malicious intent.  99% of the secrets created were in the spirit of PostSecret. Unfortunately, the scale of secrets was so large that even 1% of bad content was overwhelming for our dedicated team of volunteer moderators who worked 24 hours a day 7 days a week removing content that was not just pornographic but also gruesome and at times threatening.

and so i ask, dear app programmer/coder types, please, isn't there a way to fix this? not to fix the evil 1%, but to make it easier for the dedicated team of Post Secret moderators?

maybe not.  but thanks, Frank, for trying to make it work!!!
