I’ll post in detail about the whole thing later today. Despite a few difficulties (a pitch control with a mind of its own) the set went very well.

Licorice Pizza was the name of a record store that used to exist in Albuquerque. I doubt it exists any more. (You know, Black like licorice? Round like pizza? LP?) Anyway, I’m spinning the licorice pizza on Wednesday at Amoeba starting at 8:30PM, if anyone’s curious. I’d love it if just one friend shows up, […]

Remember this post? Back in January a copy of the Academy promo-issue score for Alexander comes in over the Buy Counter at work. I blog about it. Defamer picks up on the post. It sells the next day. Dedicated Vangelis collector extraordinaire, “Uncle Don,” gets wind of the score and asks me to alert him […]

In the “Fame For Lauren” Department, we have the following item: Lauren is back from DC. Everyone say hi to Lauren!
Taking ecstasy is like this: You swallow a small pill. After anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour you look down at the table in front of you and you think, “Wow. What are all these marbles?” They’re arranged in a neat little pile, glossy, irridescent and shot through with color. Thanks to the little […]

My newest post is up over at LAist. Go check it out.
This was written by my brother, Keir, in the comments to yesterday’s post. The gauntlet is thrown! Its now an all out competition to see who can get more written about themselves in William’s blog… hmm, there has to be a formula here… Perhaps this: Blog Exposure is a function of several variables so B(t, […]
Set your calendars, kids. Next week, May 25, is my DJ debut at Amoeba Music in Hollywood. I’ll be setting my hands on the wheels of steel at about 8:30 and spin for an hour and a half. I’m billed as DJ HUMBLE (because I’m the best DJ ever,) and it’s described on the flyer […]
“Why would you ever want to work with old people?” says LAUREN. She’s quoting people who question her emphasis on Gerontology in pursuing her Masters Degree in Social Work Welfare at Berkeley. Then she relates a story told to her by a classmate whose focus was on child welfare, about a father who got his […]
I’m in West Sacramento, hanging out at my brother’s house. Procrastination is underway. I’ve sat down to do a little work. Instead, I’m posting. But it’s high time I did so anwyay. So here’s the tracklist for my contribution to Amoeba’s CD club. Eleven of us formed the club a few months ago. The idea […]
In the middle of an early-week crush, but I want to mention that Michael Keefe has weighed in again with his latest round of music reviews. Check them out here. As usual, it’s a intelligent, clever and informed bit of writing. Until I set up some cool margin links, click to re-visit the collections from […]
We get all kinds. A couple weeks ago I assist a customer with a vinyl purhase. He’s curious about the soundtrack for Andromeda Strain that’s on one of the columns up on the Mezzanine. Some pricer or other has written on the outer sleeve, “This is the best one we’ve seen!” The backing is silver. […]
Back in October I waxed rhapsodic about film composer Thomas Newman. Last week I finally manage to track down a high-quality boot of his score for the Paul Brickman film, Men Don’t Leave (Brickman, you might remember, had the musical wherewithall to use Tangerine Dream for his earlier film, Risky Business.) This score even contains […]
This is kind of old news now, but a follow-up to that earlier post about the UC Berkeley professor who delivered the towering threat against the student who stole his laptop reveals that his threats were, in fact, hollow. Check out this story for more info. Heh-heh. “Telling porkies.” I think I like that expression.
Since returning from my Saturday stint at Coachella I’ve been working non-stop. Today’s my first day off. I plan to spend it writing. But so this blog doesn’t remain dormant any longer I thought I’d post some pics from the festival. The crowd waiting to get in is massive, but in good spirits. The bag […]
