    ('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Man.... when oh when is Jazzanova coming to the states? And by states, I mean a full blown tour -- cover the spectrum, east to west -- not just new york and miami.. I think it's been nearly 2-3 years since I last saw them here in Seattle; and even then, it was unannounced.. Vancouver would be a nice spot. I missed their gilles peterson spot at last summer's Jazz fest instead opting on the always dependable cinematic orchestra... This time I'd defenitely go north....

    Anybody out there listened to the new Akufen lp? I'm not really sure what it is about this stuff, but it just blows my mind... Maybe I'm wrong, but despite the similarities in most of the tracks, (and most of his singles) and just the flat out craziness -- there's just someting about it; funky, glitchy, blippy.... hundreds of little clipped samples racing from left to right. it's bit hard to tack a description or categorize it, because really, I've never heard anything like it... Does anyone know anything more about this guy -- or genre, what is it?

    is it me, or am i the only one that gets smashed with these little pop up windows advertising wireless internet cameras... you know, those little round ones.... apparently it's the hot item.. secure the house, watch the kids, stick em on anything! it kinda freaks me out...

    peace all
