Well, it's been awhile to be sure.
Been neglecting this space for other projects: slacking off school, playing video games (dude seriously, i got a wii), watching the films of amazing Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethkul, not to mention coping with big depressing life issues and such. But now you have my undivided attention....
Here is something I've been working on recently in my Advanced Radio Production class and I hope you listen because it is about a fantastic minimalist rock band by the name of The Monks & their 1966 album Black Monk Time.
And as treat if you listened the whole way through (honor system now), this track from Silver Monk Time, the recent Monks tribute album:
Mouse On Mars - Momks No Time
Also I've been listening to a lot of other fabulous stuff lately... Dixon's Body Language Mix , two new releases from Skull Disco (the two-part Villalobos "Apocalypso Now Mix" 0f Shackleton's "Blood On My Hands" was worth the wait), new Mock & Toof re-edits on RVNG, Larry Heard's "Sun Can't Compare" about a billion times, the What Are We Doing Here? album from They Came From the Star, I Saw Them from 2003 I somehow managed to hear about just recently. Not as much digging techno lately, the Âme joint "Fiori" that's got everybody in a fuss not doing in for me. Still feeling the Kalabrese disc "Rumpelzirkus" and I managed to track down a super dubby & deep remix of his from last year that I will be so gracious to share.

Despite my woes, this weekend is looking partcularly inspiring. Tonight I Am Spoonbender is playing their first show in three years and Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound (!!!) is evidently doing something there as well. The atonishingly awful/good Ariel Pink will also be opening up. All this and then someone gave me free tickets to Morgan Geist spinning tomorrow at Rx Gallery.
