The Sky Is Falling!
We have just lost cabin pressure.
Doing battle with gravity.
Is this the start of a breakdown?
Flip flop at the Trop puts Sox out of playoffs for now.
Assume the position.
What can I say? The Sox are banged up, their pitching is a mess, the bullpen is in shambles and our manager is, at times, a complete idiot (and that's putting it nicely). They finally have a day off today. I'm not in full on panic mode yet. I think the Yanks are due for a rough patch and I'm not sure how much they have left. The next 11 games will be interesting though.
DC is going to be hopping on Saturday, so you're going to need nourishment for all the fun you're going to have, right? Right. So come to Asylum, get your brunch on and let the soothing sounds of bluestate envelop you at Champagne Socialism from 11 a.m. - 4p.m. Safe as fuck!
Wait, you can actually make money blogging? Oh wait, you have to have content that other people will link to. Nevermind. All I talk about is this, this and lately, this. Speaking of, more on that below.
Did you know there is a blog created every second? Maybe they all need this book.
Broadband growth is slowing. Does this mean lower prices are on the way?
Ummm...so last night's Lost premiere was just the third or fourth episode I'd ever watched, but it was pretty good. Catherine is frustrated as usual, but at least she no longer wants to kill J.J. Abrams. Only smash his glasses.
The new Moz record..."It's apparently the most full-on rock record Morrissey's ever done. It's a balls-to-the-wall rock record, not a slow one like the last one." OK...whatEVER. I'll believe it when I see hear it. Didn't they say similar things about the last one. Why yes, yes they did.
Hurricane Rita causes cancellations in Houston of upcoming gigs by Coldplay, Oasis(stay safe boys!)and...Journey.
The Flaming Lips on their upcoming record.
Get ready for some Mac Mini updates. Also, .Mac bumps up storage (finally).
OK, so back to one of the three things I seemingly write about every day. Mylo! I simply cannot get enough of this dude. I have all but named him official information leafblower Artist of the Year for 2005. And since I'm all about spreading the love, here are some goodies for you.
Mylo & Starsailor: Four To The Floor(Thin White Duke Remix) (MP3)- Holy fuck. I'm not sure who did what on this track (Mylo v. TWD) but they manage to make Starsailor sound shit hot(something Phil Spector couldn't even do). This is a very layered, housey mix with (suprise!) a big 4/4 beat that kicks in around the 3:11 mark and the coup de gras, the cowbell at 5:01, right after the preceding breakdown. So best. So getting spun at bluestate. Try not to shake your ass to this.
Mylo: Essential Mix (April 2005) (MP3)- As previously discussed. Tracklisting here. This is a huuuuuge file (90MB), so it isn't going to be up very long. Get it while it's hott.
Siberia is finally on eMusic. I will partake when I get home tonight.
Choke! Choke! Choke!
On an unrelated note, I go to law school with Carl Yaztremsky's cousin. She says he's a prick.
Ummm...you live in Chicago. You know, where the White Sox play? They were ahead by double digits a few weeks ago. And don't get me started on the Cubbies.
As you so ably prove, you don't have to root for the team that happens to play in your city. I'm still a loyal Yankees fan, thank you very much.
Saw this show listing on BBC's Radio 1 online player:
Time For Heroes: New Order - Mylo presents a history of New Order and Joy Division.
If you go to Listen Live then scroll down you should find it easily. If not, then http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/radio1/aod.shtml?radio1/new_order
mylo + "four to the floor" + thin white duke = so good. thanks for sharing.
Are you sure that is the full EM for Mylo, and not the last hour? Tonger mentions "back to the awesome Mylo" right at the beginning, implying that there was more before the MP3 started, and the EM is usually two hours long, and if they split up the two hours (as they sometimes do), they usually list the track listing for both sets on the BBC page. I used to be a huge dance music/EM fan, that's why I know such things. Anywho, just asking, since I know you're such a huge Mylo fan, you probably wouldn't want to miss even a single second of the mix.
