Does anyone know how Brian Eno - "stalwart member of 'The Roxy Music' and heir to the fruit salts fortune" according to Lord Bonkers - is getting on as Nick Clegg's adviser on youth affairs? We have not heard a great deal about this role since his appointment was announced . Some wondered at the time whether Eno was to old for the role. However, he is a full three days younger than Steve...

This weekend was all about Emptyset : Check out the track "Awake" on their Myspace account. That track is representative of the dou's (James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas) general approach to sound design—severe, minimal, and architectural. But in the middle of these dust, digital, artificial, micro constructions, there sometimes appears a funky house beat. When the two meet (funky beat...

When I was 17, in 1987, I went to New Orleans by myself for a few days. Guitar on my shoulder, I took a taxi to the airport, and the driver said, “A musician! What kind of music do you play'” After telling him, and asking where he's from, he said, “I'm from Nigeria! You must hear the best Nigerian musician, Fela Ransome Kuti.” He wrote it on a piece of paper for me. Back in...

Browsers are free. Operating systems are free. Books are free. Why isn’t music free? Glad you asked. And yes, these are all legal. Glad you care. The first place I look for free music is Magnatune. They have a free song every day, a free album occasionally, and you can listen to their music (streaming on-line) as [...]

David Bowie – Crystal Japan No posts for a while so I thought I’d come through with a little something for the weekend. David Bowie is a rather divisive figure among Dilate Choonz bloggers – some of us think he’s a genius, others think he’s a complete dud. I must admit that listening to 80s albums like Tonight and Never Let Me Down would swing one towards the latter category...

Friday Nov 20 (10am–5pm) @ Exploratorium In celebration of the Exploratorium’s 40th Anniversary, we’ve been combing through our archives and revisiting our rich history.

In the series,...

Truth be told- I didn't think too much of HEAT when I saw it back in '95. However- I was a young lad of fourteen then, so really- I didn't know what the hell made a good movie. Heck, I thought JUDGE DREDD was da bomb back in '95, so that goes to show you where my head was at. Luckily, my balls dropped shortly afterward, and a few years ago, I picked up the DVD of HEAT and gave it a watch. I couldn't...

When the 1980s came to a close, there were a handful of artists who had established themselves as definitive contributors to the decade's musical palette. Names like Bruce Springsteen, Prince and Michael Jackson became synonymous with changing the direction of popular music in the decade of decadence. A strong late bloomer (but still a powerful [...]

Two early versions of Space Oddity. Neither is quite the 'popular' one. Although he released an album and numerous singles earlier, David Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in the autumn of 1969, when his space-age mini-melodrama "Space Oddity" reached the top five of the UK singles chart. After a three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam-rock...
