i haven't had a chance to work on much music over the past few weeks due to prep for the 25+25 party. being ill + recovering from dental surgery has given me an opportunity to make up for lost time.

Watched all three hours of Solaris (Tarkovsky, 1972) with my grandmother after everyone had either left or gone to sleep on xmas eve.
I wasn't going to go to xmas in the first place but I am glad that I did. Hope you all had a fine time with you and yours.

can't sleep. cluttering your friendslist with a boring nonsense list of shit i need to get/do.
get:
_ cardboard moving boxes
_ 30gal trash bags
_ industrial strength cleaning supplies
_ a job
do:
_ donate or dispose of every utterly nonessential item in my apartment
_ box up everything i decide to keep that isn't records or baseball prospectus 2008
_ clean every inch of apartment
_ not be such a lazy slob
there's a good chance i'm going to be discarding a ton of books + records + cd's in the next month. there's plenty of records that are salable, and i'll have a complete list (possibly an ebay thing) within the week. |

ever read those lj "writer's block" things? mine today was "what's your greatest accomplishment? what was the journey to get there like?" something along those lines. reads like a resume prep, if i've ever seen one; how fitting.
the world is in a really bizarre state of massive change. that, on its surface, appears to be a cynical view of the world, which i fully understand. it is more cynical, however, to refute that by saying "oh, that's what everyone's said, through all time." i can understand why someone would say that, but i also think it's totally ignorant.
i refuse to back up those above claims at this point in time, on this internet.
somewhat related:
i don't know if there is a community center in chicago that truly and totally reaches out to "at-risk" youth (insert your own pejorative, disparaging adjective for kids who are, plainly and bluntly, born into poor families and beaten-down neighborhoods if you dislike "at-risk" as much as i do). i know there are a few (av-aerie is one, and i don't mean to disparage the work they do any more than i mean to disparage the poor) and guides them in the education and discovery of electronic music composition, production, programming, etc, but i really hope there is, and if not, i'd like to help start one. mike huckaby has a clinic/education foundation for kids that teaches Reaktor (i think it's sponsored by native instruments) up in detroit, and i think that could be just the start.
i imagine a center with donated computers, gear purchased with grant money / sponsorships, and after-school programs for kids. a rotating staff of interested parties, people who had the fortunate experience of discovering electronic music + composition at an early age and want to help guide others through that same sense of discovery, to help foster what could be a life-long love affair with this music, an endless outlet for the imagination, a spiritual fulfillment of peace.
just a thought. |

i think there's enough surprises in here to warrant at least one listen. cheezy jazz, huge percussions, beardo synth, disco house, deep house, and minimal techno all together in a somewhat coherent mix (i think!).
so, have one listen and tell me what you think, even if you hate it.
all tracks purchased @ Beatport, even the ones i already have on vinyl (thanks primarily to Gramaphone Records). |

everybody's doing it
+ giving one of these to caitlin with some rad tunes on it
- the above being a cardboard tape enclosure, not a true "memory-stick-inside-a-plastic-cassette-that you plug into your computer," which would be bulky and obnoxious but somehow more awesome.
+ the buddha machine, the camera, the print, and the book caitlin gave me
+ giving caitlin a pair of earrings that made her get all weepy because it was such a sweet gift
+/- my family is crazy, i should write a book about it
+ picking up john pawson's minimum at b&n yesterday for much cheaper than it can be found online (how rare is that?)
- not getting the henri cartier-bresson scrap book for xmas, not finding it anywhere, it being expensive
+ an ok writing outlet coming down the line
- nobody wants to pay anyone for anything that isn't legit work, even if it feels like legit work
-/+ considering going back to school for something entirely different than what i studied in undergrad, but something i still won't get paid a lot of money for
+ buying music
- people who don't buy music have so many more opinions on music than i do, and they blog about it all the time
+ the robert babicz show @ vision last week, and my friends for coming with me even if they weren't totally sold on him prior to going
- the underwhelming crowd and expensive drinks @ the robert babicz show @ vision last week
+ making so many tunes
- not feeling "ready" to try and get them published just yet, not being sure how i'd want to even do that in the first place
