Just heard David Harness’s forthcoming remix in the studio next to 40 Thieves’. Sick moves!

How To Grow Your Own Fresh Air →
“With only three varieties of plants, we can ‘grow our own fresh air’ indoors, to keep us healthy.” A little unrealistic for my studio, but I hope this gets implemented somewhere nearby soon. Anyone wanna sponsor a trial run at GAFFTA’s spaces, get in touch. ;)

In reference to my Telex post earlier this week, check out Château Marmont’s track “Diane” out now on Institubes.  (Great EP all around.)

There are a few misquotes in here, but overall, it’s a complimentary piece.

An experimental interaction design/soft toy hacking workshop ran in the UK during Easter for a group of girls aged 8-11.  This comment said it best, “This is the definition of heartening.”

Anthem Mag's Q & A with Sébastien Tellier →
“…for example, when I make a record I don’t think about nightclubbing, or I don’t think that. I don’t care about dance, I don’t care about nightclub. I care about creating big emotion inside the ears of listeners.”  I adore his most recent record, Sexuality, produced by the gold robot of Daft Punk, a.k.a. Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo.  His US tour’s over, but check the album...

Man, I can't get no kip.
The Toddla T album is ‘eavy. So fun! Keep your ear out for it. Want a taste now? He did Radio 1’s Essential Mix last week. Skanky skanky!

Robert Thurman on City Arts & Lectures →
I heard this radio program in the car with my father on Sunday.  Highly recommended if you can still catch it on one of the repeat broadcasts.  A few points are resonating with me.  Women are more “prepared” to become bodhisattvas given the sheer suffering they’ve experienced as a population over the past thousands of years — and continue to, female genital mutilation of Africa...

Ghostly Podcast: Travis TK Disko →
My long-time homey (and fellow 40 Thief) Travis TK Disko put together Ghostly’s 22nd podcast, entitled Dollar Dance.  The boy knows how to dig for gold in those dirty bins, trust.  He even found a copy of a Fortran 5 track I’d been looking for since the early ’90s for me on a trip to Denver once!  From the Ghostly site: Travis is a mainstay in the SF/LA music scene, playing...
