Just playing around with some technology called Animoto. Uh-Oh I just set off the supergeek alarm with that phrase. Enjoy the month of random Iphone photos set to some funkadelic muzak. PS Kalila brought home Bradley Bear from school for a sleepover. She was so happy. He was in a bear backpack with a toothbrush and flannel for washing. We made him Mexican food but he didn't like the jalapenos. We just...

Symphony For The Superhero , a symphony by local composer Mateo Messina (best known for composing the Juno score, as noted before ), is going down at Benaroya, starring the one and only Cut Chemist - turntablist, producer, innovator. Bridging hiphop and the symphony is no small feat- in fact, it's a fucking recipe for disaster in the wrong hands- but I think this cast of characters is up to the task....

It restarts with a drone. The stabbing synth has slowed down into a sluggish echo and the vocals are bubbling from somewhere deep under water. From there on in, Debbs Leggs is like a murky fish tank, where tiny squiggles dart invisibly through turbid water: stomach-churningly fascinating, abrim with energy and decay. 'Manic Molecules/Funkadelic' and 'Doggy Doo (In the Stench He Finds His Muse)' - these...

As quickly as you can say nuke-yu-ler , the hotly anticipated debate between George W. Bush and Bill Clinton has been called off! At first we assumed it was because when Bush agreed to the debate, he thought he'd be going up against George Clinton, the brain-fried frontman for Parliament-Funkadelic, not Bill Clinton, world-renowned master debater. But turns out, it's Clinton who's withdrawn. Clinton...

In a move guaranteed to annoy long-term science fiction fans, the estate of legendary science fiction author Isaac Asimov, who passed away in 1992, has authorized a trilogy of sequels to his beloved I, Robot short story series, to be written by relatively unknown fantasy author Mickey Zucker Reichert. The move is already garnering opposition online.

And filmed by Martin Scorsese no less. There are numerous clips available from “The Last Waltz,” but especially since this is still Halloween weekend, I doubt there’s a better choice than the Band’s riveting “Stage Fright,” with the late Rick Danko singing and playing lead and Garth Hudson burning up the keyboards. Remember, this [...]

Over at the BBC, music journalist John Harris speculates on what may become of the music business now that we have entered the golden age of infinite music. “I’ve just poured the music-related contents of my brain into a book, and I would imagine that 30-ish years worth of knowledge about everyone from Funkadelic to The Smiths has probably cost me a five-figure sum, a stupid amount spent...

The Mississippi Studios is hosting a Process Church of the Final Judgment ritual on Sunday night , led by Timothy Wyllie, who has just written a book about the church, based on his experiences with it. The cult spun off from Scientology in London during the early 1960s, and went through a series of bizarre permutations, including a connection with Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful, not to mention...

BBC : I’ve just poured the music-related contents of my brain into a book, and I would imagine that 30-ish year’s worth of knowledge about everyone from Funkadelic to The Smiths has probably cost me a five-figure sum, a stupid amount spent on music publications, and endless embarrassed moments spent trying to have a conversation with those arrogant blokes who tend to work in record shops....
