I Wanna Give You Devotion
Throwback to 1990!
These kids could teach a few people a thing or two. I love how the kid on the right even adjusts the high range on one of the scratch sequences to get a bit more tonal range.
Question: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?
Answer:
Now in case, you uh.. didn’t get that:
I personally believe — that — US American’s are unable to do so — because a — someah — people out there in a our nation don’t have maps, and I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and The Iraq, everywhere like such as, and — I believe that they should — ah — our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or — ah — should help South Africa and should help The Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our (children).
20 years on, the amorphous space-age food of the future can’t be found on the supermarket shelf in this incarnation. It’s probably had the sugar replaced within NutraSweet and been converted into a Weight Watchers pudding or something similar. Love the music as well!!?
I wonder if Alexey Pajitnov, creator of Tetris would ever see his game emulated to a degree by humans?
A DEMF sneak-peak performance by Moodymann playing “California”. Moodymann plays DEMF this long weekend in Detroit with Pitch Black City along with Jeff Mills, Octave One, Charles Webster, Luciano plus a host of other performers - not to forget a 6 hour DJ/live set from Rhythm & Sound with Willi Williams, Milton Henry and Lloyd Barnes aka Bullwackie.
Oh to be in Motor City this weekend!
Watch the big man Leverock from Bermuda move, watch him celebrate! Watch Malachi Jones do a lap of the oval after taking his first wicket with his first delivery in World Cup cricket.
Laurent returns to Australia for his first visit since 2000 - this time playing at The Cross, a smallish venue tucked up on top of The Bourbon down in Kings Cross. This, in addition to the Melbourne gig on Friday and the Playground Weekender festival where he played on Sunday.
Not the best set I’ve heard him play, but it kept us out late! A wide range of sounds, including the classic Derrick May Rhythim Is Rhythim (sic) track “Beyond The Dance”, the Carl Craig remix of Inner City’s “Good Life”, some New Order for good measure, plus a tangle of drum’n'bass and the classic Ralphie Rosario “U Used To Hold Me” which had all the hands in the air. Unfortunately, no “Acid Eiffel” and word has it that the best two hours were the last two hours. Of course, that’s when we’d gone to bed!

*ahem* Goons
Now playing: Rhythm Is Rhythm - “Beyond The Dance”
A solid night of music at quite a slick little venue - no comparison to venue in its previous state with stark white walls and a soundsystem lacking any punch. The Klipsch rig in that room was punchy, a little more bass perhaps, but certainly one of the higher quality purpose-built spaces in Sydney. My only gripe was that the bar prices for a nightclub were more top-end bar. $9 for a Peroni’s not cheap and neither is $5 for a 300mL bottle of water. A shame the balcony space was closed off early as well. Why not close the small front room and keep the balcony open?
