HUUMERECORDINGS.COM

Huume Recordings is run by Sasu Ripatti, who is also Luomo, Sistol and Uusitalo. No, that isn't l33t-speak, that's Finnish. He's also Mr. Vladislav Delay and after a bit of wrangling with the much deceased (and mourned over) Force Inc. record label, he's got his paws on 2001's Anima, an all-time classic of the onomatopoetically-named clicks & cuts genre. A deep techno ambient masterwork, Ripatti's 62-minute bubbling, synthetic piece seems to change imperceptibly like a cloud. Perfect for the bath or the beach, but it's even more perfect if you are Dr. Ballard piloting the $5 Million JASON submarine around the wreckage of the Titantic looking at 9-foot sea worms that no one has ever seen before. Anima seems randomly-generated, with pulses and burbles falling out at indiscriminate times, keeping your senses heightened but your mind at rest. If I was a synaesthete, this would look like a Skittles-colored waterfall in Kool-Aid land.

Rothbury Music Festival: Post 1

I wish I could say I saw a couple more cities on my way to Rothbury, Michigan. We—Spencer, Mills, Maysa, Keith and myself—drove from Allston to Michigan in about 17 hours, passing through Cleveland, Detroit, Lansing and a couple other places along the way. After making it through a 20-hour bus ride in Argentina a few years ago, I've learned to appreciate all the things you see along the way during a road trip that you miss on a plane.

 


Fuck Michael Jackson

The guy could dance, hooked up with a couple of good producers, diddled little kids (allegedly, yeah right), and is now dead. Good riddance.


Dear, dear Governor Sanford

By Dargus on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 7:13 pm

When apologizing publically to your wife and constituents, here's a rough list of things you should probably avoid mentioning:

 

1. Your experience, even that which falls within your college years, of working across national borders without a work visa. This goes double for high-ranking, GOP president-hopefuls.

 

2. That you were exhausted by your own efforts to turn down federal stimulus money.
