Took a great trip to Detroit and spent the night with my good friend Phil Leslie in Hamtramck. We played music, played pool, drank beer, and ate kebabs. It was wonderful. Here are some pics I took from around town.

I was cruising around reddit the other day, and came across a thread about the 30th anniversary of Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk for the first time. There were all the same jokes you can imagine about Michael, but then I came across one man’s theory about communication networks and...

Crazy piece I wrote about Michael Jackson. I found this huge thread on reddit about the possibility of MJ being framed for his money. It doesn't sound too far off, but it stirred up some discussion from a few people.

Here's a MJ track I remixed too:

Computer Chronicles - The Internet (1995) 

Awesome video of the web in 1995. I remember being on AOL 2.5 around that time, and would spend hours connecting with people from all over the world.

Whether or not they were actually "in Sweden" or "a woman" was another thing. Sure, I was 9 years old, but the Internet changed everything. It was an outlet for me, and I'm so happy it exists for me to play in. 

Thank you Vint Cerf / Tim Berners Lee and anyone else involved with creating the Internet we now use.

Here it is, the first episode of COOLSH.IT RADIO. I talked with Melanie and Alan, a polyamorous couple from Florida who are in a 24/7 Master/Slave relationship.

I wanted to know what that meant, and what it entails. I thought slavery was illegal, and wanted to know if that’s what they...

This is an interview I conducted, edited and curated. I also made a bunch of the music on it, but not all of it. 

I used a Yeti Blue microphone, Skype, Garageband, and Audio HiJack Pro. 

I met the interview subjects through reddit's IAMA section.

I always sucked at Goldeneye 64. One of my friends killed me 66 times in a row, and he just laughed maniacally as I waited for my Mom to pick me up and go home. Little did I know, there was a community of Nintendo 64 Hackers, looking for cheat codes. I mean it makes sense: whenever some sort...

I found the Goldeneye 64 hacker! Cool story on how he found the cheat codes.

Best show on TV that's not on TV: Steven Brody Stevens' ENJOY IT! on HBOGo.

I've been obsessed with this show, because Steven Brody Stevens is one of the funniest guys going. I've been listening to his podcast - Steven Brody Stevens: Festival of Friendship which is also wicked. 

ENJOY IT!

Seinfeld on How to Tell a Joke

“In my world, the wronger something feels the righter it is. So too waste this much time on something this stupid… that felt good to me. “

A superb five-minute short on how Jerry Seinfeld writes a joke from The New York Times.

Jump Into The Fire - LCD Soundsystem

this is a cover but i am making it reblog of the week because Bijan posted it this morning and it feels so right 

[marksandford]

I remember seeing LCD perform this live. I've always loved the album Nilsson Schmillsson - and remember losing my proverbial shit when Al from Hot Chip/LCD chunked out the first chords. 

Ultimately though, this song is all about the bass walkdown. I can hear the session producer Richard Perry say to the bassist, Herbie Flowers-- "When the bass gets too low, just detune your strings, maaaan". It worked. 

Love this song.
