Amateur is Not Just a Flavor of Porn
An anonymous graffito poignantly remarked that “time doesn’t exist, clocks exist”. As an amateur quantum physicist (very amateur), this tickles my ganglia. While my feeble grip on the finer points of quantum theory, compression of time and the Singularity would probably cause Steven Hawking to roll over Einstein’s grave, I’d like to consider for a [...]
Watchlist Playlist
As I get ready to fly to Nicaragua tomorrow, it occurs to me that by now, I’m probably on one government watchlist or another. Maybe it’s vain to think so, but if I’m not already, I’d like to think I could be. It’s not that I’ve done anything horrific, or even very noteworthy, but it [...]
Delude Sprayer (Arf! Aww, there.)
Arf! Aww, there. Hue are tin heathen
how loud be thine aim?
Dyking dumb cum
thigh willow bedung
honor the ass I tease uneven
Gay fussy stay hour deliberate
In devour gaff though suit rest bass again stuff
Andale! to snot intuit empty shun
Bah! toad liver is for Melville
Fourth anus thickened, demand tip our hand a glow reefer ether in defer.
All men.

Slippery slopes
In the pursuit of expanding one’s musical tastes, you eventually reach a point where you can go no further within the confines of rhythm, melody, harmony and chord structures. You may have experimented with some jazz you found in your dad’s sock drawer, but it was probably before you were mature enough to understand it. [...]
A Letter From Elsewhere…
It’s sometimes difficult to write about an artist while listening to said artist. Doing so seems to create some infinite loop that my system can’t handle this far into the work week. Error 404: Andrew’s mind cannot be found, but will probably return by Sunday morning. Listening to Helios‘ latest album “Caesura” seems to present [...]
I Am What Porno Should Be, SWEAT
Since our last post on Hot Pink Delorean, the Boston trio has kept plenty busy. They’ve kept up a steady stream of remixes, played some hometown parties, toured, and recorded an EP – I am What Porno Should Be – that just dropped this month. You can pour yourself a red bull vodka, hunch over [...]
No Country For Calexico (Calexico, Acorn @ the Somerville Theater Sunday, 11/16)
When I first read Cormac McCarthy’s ‘No Country for Old Men‘ I remember thinking: a. I hope they make a movie of this, and b. I hope Calexico makes the soundtrack. I found out shortly thereafter that they were making a movie of it, and ‘they’ were the Coen Brothers. Killer! Calexico didn’t do the [...]
Don’t be L.A.T.E.
Let’s be honest, Boston gets snubbed by the big names sometimes. Last time Justice played the us, Boston missed out, and aaron had to roadtrip it down to Philly to catch a show. But not this time.
Justice will be playing at Paradise Rock Club on March 15, along with Busy P and Fancy. [...]
Beantown Bangers
I recently stumbled across a few tracks by Boston-based trio, Hot Pink Delorean on Discodust (more free tracks there), and I already can’t get enough. Their remixes reek of the most sexed-up 80’s electro, and will surely be turning out sweaty dancefloors in the months to come. Keep an eye out for a mix in [...]
Get some dome this friday
Sorry for the late notice, but this party should be worth trudging through snow to Central Square to shake your shiznit.
Thunderdome is back for the ninth time, with glitched-out beats and seizure-inducing video projections to fuel the all-night dance battle. The Enough Cowbell crew is sure to be there battling with the best.
The Lineup:
DJ Assault
Mistaker
DJ [...]
Steve Aoki, DJ AM at Gypsy Bar
Spending a Friday evening at Gypsy Bar was a worthy price to pay to hear several of the world’s biggest-name DJs under one roof. DJ Vice, Steve Aoki and DJ AM spun back-to-back sets from the booth perched above Gypsy’s packed dance floor. Call me a snob (or worse), but I’m just not [...]
A Spoonful of Bangers
He no longer plays in Boston, but DJ Count RockuLA, formerly DJc Penny (who’s All Inside Mix can be found here) plans to keep our Halloween parties bangin’ with his new mix – Generally Kills. He cut his teeth spinning in Boston at Paradise Lounge and parties you wish you’d been at – [...]
