2009-07-02T21:56:38Z

Dan Johnson has an excellent account of the Ojai Festival over on his blog. Recently brought to my attention by the ever-observant (and also-excellent account giver!) Jeff Edelstein, the festival sounded utterly fantastic, ...

Boorish crowds - and who cares about posterity? | Deceptively Simple

2009-06-29T19:17:57Z

At last, to make a long story short, I did play on that miserable, Wretched Pianoforte. And what really galled me was that Madame and her gentlemen never.

Birdseed's Tunedown: Another Hungary Holiday - Hip-Hop?

2009-06-16T05:33:19Z

I still don't understand why Hungarian music is so shit. In an attempt to rectify this fact I'll spend some time during my annual holiday in Budapest trying desperately to find anything that appeals to me, with very little hope in my ...

Birdseed's Tunedown: Car Audio Bass as a Precursor to Dubstep

2009-06-14T16:05:38Z

No one, honestly no-one except the mad Russian/Ukrainian guys at collector's blog Drop Da Bass, seems to like car audio bass. A genre of slowish, instrumental Miami Bass from the mid-nineties specifically geared towards car tuners and ...

I've been using Twitter, a bit infrequently, for something like a month now, and I think I might be getting into it soon. The crowdsourcing has so far not been a great success, but there has been an unexpected side benefit, ...

I'm preparing a post about my ambivalence to the idea of party politics, but right now I'm too far gone into this campaign to be able to say anything other than this. Would you please go ahead and vote for the Feminist Initiative in the ...

Birdseed's Tunedown: Pop-Political Tracks #2

2009-06-02T19:52:48Z

Under this heading I thought I'd occasionally take up deeply political tracks that are at the same time decidedly commercial and mainstream within their contexts. I've been inspired, in part, by Vybz Kartel whose letter to The Star ...
