Right-o. I was just in England for two weeks. I went to see the Mute Short Circuit event — which, duh, was one of the highlights of my life — and see old friends and travel around and just soak in cask ale. All of the above was accomplished and felt wonderful. As you may […]

3170 miles / W through 34° 14′, S through 4° 32′ / 43 hours
I’m on my third day as a San Francisco resident. I thought about writing a thing before leaving, in the generic-life-update-for-a-blog category, but I figure the only people who look at this thing (well, who might look at it if it ever had anything new) are people who already knew I was moving to SF, […]
Coming to (new mix)
I hadn’t done a mix in a long while, and after that awful Red Wings loss Saturday, I needed to turn up some loud music and feel a little better. I ended up throwing a mix together that’s a little springly. Saturday was a warm, sunny spring day; Sunday was a cooler, rainy spring day. […]
best of 2009 music
March first is a good day to post this, right? I mean, the rush to get these out is gone, so now mine will appear more important for lack of competition. So, remember how I did it last year? The tiering system, as opposed to rankings? Yeah, that’s how I’ve been rating everything since then. […]

damn, it was a good day (micah’s end-of-the-quarter remix)
RIT has been whomping my ass this year, and i respectfully, gleefully, doff my hat to it and wish another academic year adieu (well, temporarily, as i’m taking summer classes). ergo, i awoke late today and had a great day. for two hours, i read the newest novel by my favourite author: good to be god […]
my favourite remixes
once again, because i love to enumerate… i’ve been working on a list of my all-time favourite remixes. pretty sure i’ve got it nailed down solid now. i started from a rough list of 150 (ahem), and i cut it in half and then ranked those. the actual list will floow at a later date […]
sounds of the universe all in my area
my wordy first impressions of the new album by my favourite band.
because i feel like enumerating
foods in my kitchen i have more than one variety of: tea: 11 varieties mustard: 8 varieties hot sauce: 5 varieties knäckebröd: 4 varieties barbecue sauce: 3 varieties (and tamarind sauce) hummus: 2 varieties a band i have never listened to and i’ve always felt guilty about it: yo la tengo a band i have never listened to and i’ve never felt […]
why U2 could never have been one of my favourite bands
it hit me last night as i was falling asleep, completely out of nowhere, and i couldn’t get to sleep because of it. (weird, i know.) all of my favourite bands have an album that reminds me of every season. let’s go to the evidence:
