Oh, and by the way, this long weekend is both VEMF here in sleepy Victoria, and Apex Project in somewhat spastic Chilliwack, outside of Vancouver.
I can’t speak for Apex ’cause I’ve never been before, but VEMF is more fun than a barrel of monkeys, and if you even have the slightest interest in electronic music, you should go. It is basically all day in Centennial Square, and then at Hush and the Jungle Room after that. I am helping out with the “How to make music with Reason” production seminar at around 1300 on Saturday. I am then playing at Apex at 0400 hours on Saturday night. I am then coming BACK to Victoria for VEMF part 2 on Sunday, which will be both tired, tired, and awesome.
Hope to see you out. : )
Two new clips have been posted – one is a work-in-progress of a tune called ‘Soft Places’, and one is basically a finished look at the dub of ‘Soft Places’.
Also, I removed the clips for ‘Fightmagicitem’ and ‘Save vs Wands’ – Save vs Wands will be out on Tide Pool soonest, and you’ll just have to wait for Fightmagicitem. Neener neener.
Gabe & Tycho have kind of, maybe, somewhat, lost their razor-sharp edge as they’ve become fathers and gotten older. On the other hand, they tend to strike these gold mines of quality on a fairly frequen basis. Today’s comic is one of them.
One is dead, one is alive. One was Polish, (but wrote Greeks, Indians, and Englishmen) , one is English, but has a knack for writing immortals and Americans….as well as screenplays, comics, children’s books, and so on. More importanly, they both share an uncanny knack for myth and population in their writing – that is to say, you finish a book (or comic, film, and so on) that they did, and your first thought is “But what about the rest of the world! What about the rest of the characters? What about New York? (in This Immortal) – What about Death and Delirium? (in Sandman) – What about Tak and the witches in the east? (in Lord Of Light) – What about the monsters in the rest of the city? (in Mirrormask).”
You, poor reader, are left desperately hoping for more. Isn’t that a shame?
Neil lives here. Roger lives on here. If you read any one thing by either of them, read Lord of Light and all of Sandman. But then you’ll have to read them again. And then you’ll probably need to know more…
I, personally, know that I’m old (and out of shape!) when I managed to hurt my knee dancing around to Shiloh. Well, specifically to Shiloh playing a LoStep track, but whichever. Shiloh are pretty good times, say I.
I was also going to write a long and profound post about the development and progression of popular house music, but I think I’ll wait a bit, as I want to get some useful work done today.
Two more things that I can check off my DJing to-do list:
– Played a B-52s accapella:
– Dropped ‘Rockit’:
…the adventure continues tonight at Hush, where I am opening for the always-mighty Shiloh!
Lives at: www.diterlizzi.com.
Whilst his choice of web design is something I find deeply questionable, I cannot find any sort of fault with the man’s art:
…but this is fantastic, especially the B1, ‘Untight’. Clips are at Juno.
Also, I fixed all the links. WordPress >> me.
I should probably post these:
July 21st, Victoria, BC: ‘In The Mix’ at the Jungle Room. Tagging with Kenzie, Xavier, and D-Set.
July 22nd, Victoria, BC: Opening for Shiloh at Hush, with Cory J.
August 5th, Vancouver, BC: Playing the Boomch.com stage at Apex Project.
August 25th or 26th, Victoria, BC: Opening for BT at Hush, with DJ What
September 2nd, North of Victoria, BC: Dust Up 2, with Cory J.
My first live cd-length set in ages was also an attempt at a really dancey demo, and a try at doing a live four or five phase mix. The more I listen to it the more I wish I had kept taking on it, but such is life. It was cut in May 2006, and art is by John Avon, again.
