I guess it’s lucky for Bush that his VP shot a guy in the face in time to provide a lot of distraction from the Katrina report, just when we could have had a discussion of how it shows “the inevitable result of reckless, callous conservative philosophy of governance, fundamentally disdaining the concept of government [...]

Hangin’ with Miles and Trane

February 16, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

A version of “So What” with Miles Davis and John Coltrane from Davis’ late 50′s television show, which is what Jeb Brien used as a template for Sessions at West 54th in the late 90′s. I’ve stood on that floor at Sony Music Studios and inhaled the ghosts deep into my lungs. It is a [...]

Flame Warriors

February 15, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

The roster. Who are you? I’m a complicated mix… my schizophrenic nature bubbling forth like so much inner torment, outer underwear and love of the game no doubt. Actual results may vary… A dash of Blowhard, a scoop of Big Cat, a pinch of Bong cut with a touch of Troller, add two cans of [...]

Glenn Greenwald asks: “Do Bush followers have a political ideology?” and gets down to business: It used to be the case that in order to be considered a “liberal” or someone “of the Left,” one had to actually ascribe to liberal views on the important policy issues of the day [...]

Propaganda from the Resistance

February 12, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

A friend emails a link to a year-old propaganda video (Via Prete Funk Era at Jakeneck.) and asks if I know anything about it. Here’s the scoop. As said, the video is nearly a year old. It was all the rage on the right-wing blogs early last year. It was part of an actual press [...]

From his workshops in upstate New York and later in rural North Carolina, Moog shaped musical culture with some of the most inspiring instruments ever created. Moog explains that he “can feel what’s [...]
