I think Amina served as inspiration for Robert Rodriguez latest film with Quentin Tarantino, GrindHouse. If not what a fucking coincidence, these chicks even look a like. Those two, Rodriguez & Tarantino, come up with characters on the fly from the most unexpected places and sync them in perfect time with the reality they want to create..... I became a member of Suicide Girls today, that's how I came across Amina, I thought instead of purchasing there lattest book I'd rather become a member of there site for half the price, that way I check'em all out. Nice Erotica! ,)
If you picture google the word Bliss the picture above comes up in the first results, the default wallpaer for windows. hmm......., anyways that latest wrinkle I was telling you about....
Microsoft spent millions of dollars advertising its next generation OS 'Windows Vista' in China, in fact the IT juggernaut threw up the biggest Vista Ad on the 421 meter high Jin Mao tower in Shanghai China. However after 2 weeks (Jan 19 to Feb 2) from launch Microsoft managed to sell a mere 244 copies of Windows Vista. Software piracy is rampant in the middle kingdom and a pirated version of Vista sells for a mere $1 on the streets. The following numbers are quoted by Windows Vista chief distributor in Bejing.
Ok this is probably my hardest post so feed from it while it lasts.... eventhough I think hardcore is having somewhat of a comeback, maybe it never left. During WMC I saw Adultnapper which kinda bulldozed my at first due to the intensity of his music, but about 30min into his set he had a sea of people, completly demented, raving to his music selection & composition, including me, myself, and I. Some rapid tunes: Stephan Bodzin - Fahrenheit**** Extrawelt - Doch Doch Moonbeam Remix Lee Van Doweski - King Convex Stylus Pig & Dan - Blobz
After that over indulgance of sinfulness in the last two posts here come our heroes, currently living in our times and producing arsenal to combat all evil. These weapons of evil destruction come in full album format and they're very handy when we seem to not be ok, by giving us a boost to put all negativity aside and reach a state thoughtfullness, reflectivity, and contemplation.
Now I'll let U guess in what part of the triptych we seem to be living. Click on Hieronymus Bosch's Garden Of Earthly Delights (1466) for a deltailed view.
RUOK? RUOK? Everyone’s been there at one time or another but no one’s documented it quite so explicitly as Ambivalent (aka Kevin McHugh) on his first release for Minus. Set against a stripped down groove, you can almost feel the back of your eyeballs start to sweat, as the pitched down vocals of the title track narrate an all too familiar tale of late night over-indulgence (also included in acappella form). The whip-crack snare struggles to contain a sliding, elastic bassline and a fuzzy synth line infiltrates the proceedings like a wasp that’s somehow got trapped inside your head. The vocals grow increasingly demented in the breakdown before the subsequent return really cranks it up a notch. The hi hats double up and the subsonic toms pound the life out of the soundsystem right through to the end of the track. Just remember kids, don’t accept sweets from strangers... The B side kicks of with Indecision. Actually there’s nothing indecisive about this track as we get straight to the point once again with a silky smooth bass riff, some cool rhythmic interplay and a sultry hookline that’s guaranteed to get those hips gyrating. As the track starts peaking, a hypnotic drone emerges from the inky blackness like a red-hot neon beacon. It’s all the track needs to start spinning out, as Ambivalent skillfully punctuates the groove with subtle flips, reverses and breaks. What’s more, to close out the vinyl selection Nugget comes complete with an acid tinged, modulating hook line that will twist and seduce hungry minds in equal measures. As with all Minus EPs there’s a cold logic running through this body of work that may not be immediately apparent by just dropping the needle casually on each track. It’s a collection tha(ng). - M_nus

Hello...ok Saturdays affairs left me a bit nourished. Not only did we have a "perfect" setting; a camping tent equipped with a basic setup; mixer, vps, cdjs, and laptops hooked to a blasting output, located in an outdoor recreation area, hooked with multiple bbq grills, benches that were used as media areas and dinning tables, next to a fairly wide waterway that was trafficked through all day. Also about 100ft east was the ocean, and yes the music was clear enough there too. I was extremely intrigued by the authorities, which never came by and disturbed the peac:e till precisely the right moment, ten to eleven pm the time that party was meant to conclude, since it had started at noon and most of us had plans for later that evening. Highlights of the day, music-wise, besides myself were this kid Michael Louis who played mnml with a techy edge at a relatively slow bpm in comparison to what I call the anti-van, all on vinyl, I liked! Dj Nova had an excellent selection of tunes individually but missed out on his set's composition, ass seen through my shoes, The End Has Begun Mathew Johnson Tiger mix was his highlight, and then Martin EZ to close the evening with an exhibition of Berlin record shop products, set included Bodzin, it was f@^%!) Amazing!!..when u dance like like nobodies watching eventhough ur tired and sober, well not that sober, thats when u know its GOO:D And as if the acoustic stimuli wasn't enough, which it never really is, there was this dude that got setup at about Sundown right after his Saturdays feast, with three DVD players and an analog video mixer, doing visuals utilizing his own footage and edits. Utopist it may seem, utopic it felt, and utopic it was. And as I said, I left that place with a broader perspective, one that for a specific matter in concern makes me want to mash digital functionality with Phonographic.

One of my best experiences this conference, what a shame that the mix is missing about 1hr50 minutes. They were scheduled to close the sunset session after Hawtin, from 7-9pm, they concluded some time around 9:40. There were some technical dificulties at the begining but they managed to get around and fix it. What can be better than two brothers with superb musical taste in control of thee Party.
The video above is from, again, my favourite party of the year, the one I seem not to get over and probably wont till next year when it comes around again. The two dudes in the, video playing live, are Dan Berkson & James What, excelent mellow set. Below is a posted song I aquired today that Ive already played about two dozen time, its produced by Dan Berkson ,the dude with glasses, and Adultnapper, the guy posted in the Sunday School for Degenerates pic post, he is the one with the gold aviator sunglasses wearing a polo. Excelent track, the EP also features a remix by Pier Bucci, but again the original does it for me so here it goes enjoy.
