More musical goodness...

Well it's been a while everyone. I have been less than diligent about updating my blog about personal stuff, seldom feel inclined to do that over the internet I suppose.

This weekend was a pretty mellow mild mannered weekend, and even though it was I am still exhausted!!! Already looking forward to next weekend at Vanguard! Since I skipped out on EDC this year (I can't handle another hippie love fest) I am gunna hit up Vanguard. Next weekend at Vanguard we have C. Lawrence, Rank 1 (Piet) and Blake Jarrell. Lawrence was supposed to play back in May but I guess he had some back problems or something??? Regardless he got scheduled for next weekend.



I have yet to see Rank and Blake so I am pretty stoked. Over the past year I have really liked most of the stuff that Jarrell has produced, it has grown on me more and more. His remixes of the popular 'Louder', 'Chasing Cars', and Nalick's 'Breathe' are pretty solid productions. Will be a pleasant experience to hear them on the Funktion 1 system, which is just totally diamonds and gravy goodness. It makes me very feliz inside, haha! Not sure if there is going to be a guestlist for this event, but $20 isn't gonna be so bad I think. I'll find out if there is going to be a guest list, so email me if you're interested.


As far as the Sunday Feed goes, it's a little sparse and dry for those who aren't good company for finance gar-bage.

Dealbook - My new favorite blog of the week. Full of GREAT info about all the happenings of the M&A, IPO, IBD, etc... I love the place. Especially love all the great details about

In Between - Everyone knows the love I have had for Mr. van Dyk over the years. His old stuff is so mind-blowingly genius, that I would do little justice puring out my undying obsessive love for the cd's here. I will only say this: That the cd's will put you into total musical submission.

With the approach of the new artist album release (August 19th), he has started touring around (as usual) promoting the new album. I will regrettably miss him at Vanguard on July 20th, because I will be out of town. I am just excited because I am so tired of the mix album thing that has been going on for the last 2-3 years. Every artist making a mix (didn't care for PofD 2 at all blegh), and then selling it. COME ON! Sit in the studio and use the obvious creative talent you wowed us all with in the early 2000's. I swear, I would kill (yes, KILL) to go back to 2001 Innercity party and listen to Paul's set again live. As soon as Autumn comes on, that thing will melt your face (in a good way) hah!

Okay, that is enough of that. I had some other links, but will update this later in the week. And post some live sets that have come in. Got a really good Sasha set, that has been stock in my mp3 player for the whole week.

Karma Police!

Been a while since I have written anything, so I thought to pound out a few thoughts I have been thinking about over the past couple weeks. As usual this is not a very ad hoc post, and is more a discombobulated hodge podge of news and random thoughts. This week is admittedly less serious than others...

I spotted this not too long ago, and it is hilarious! Perhaps it is just me and my twisted sense of humor, perhaps you are just too serious (it's possible...), but this has to be one of the best wikipedia categories ever: HERE

End of an Era: The whole concept of internet taxes is receiving more and more attention as of late. With the imminent death of internet radio (because of unfair and thoughtless taxes), the next in line to be strangled by taxes seems to be the internet as a whole. All though this will definitely have less of a strangling choke-hold than the i-radio taxes, it will still be a detriment to many of the websites we know and love. Wyoming Senator Michael Enzi is pushing for a bill to require taxes on all online purchases.

The Washington Post put the total lost state revenues from untaxed Internet sales in the neighborhood of $16 billion. A very considerable amount. I wonder what the money lost could have been put to use for?

Outsource Your Life: well I have blogged about crowdsourcing, outsourcing, and the likes, but this has to be the best yet. This takes the Mechanical Turk (if you don't know what that is, check it out!) to a whole new level. Good read!

Kobayashi Loses: Takeru Kobayashi, famous for being a tank when it comes to competitive eating, lost to Joey Chestnut, from CA. Kobayashi is nutz, he always blew the competition away when it came to eating hot dogs. However, Joey apparently finished 59 & 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes. Mind blowing.


みんなさん！日本語をタイプすることには、以前久しぶりだ。新しい目的があります！毎日、日本語で何かを書きます。練習、練習！でも日本語はすごく難しいから、ホントウに時々やるきがない。。。残念です。頑張りましょう！

金曜日にCitizen Copeのコンサートに行きました。Citizen CopeはFunkとかアコースティックギターとかちょっとラップのバンドです。House of Bluesで見に行きました。その場所はの踊り場は地さい！幸いにも、立て込まなかった、よかった。　出演は、楽しかったから、気持ちが落ち着きました。

一番好きな歌は、Radiohead - Karma Policeのかヴぁです。ワオ！

Lastly, (it's a bit late I know) but, congratulations to Quinton Rampage Jackson for KO'ing Liddell in UFC71. Wish I could have seen it!
