Speaking In Code



This is a long time coming. For years now, I've been hearing about what I'd already declared my favorite film of all time. Having been fortunate enough to see a raw screening several months ago with 4 other people, Speaking In Code - a film by Amy Grill that features David Day, Philip Sherburne and a vast array of genius within the techno genre in the last 15 years - surpassed all expectations. I wanted a film that would be an absolute apex of what electronic music means to me as well as everyone else. That inexplicable element of unity that surges through everyone a part of passionate music scenes (be it punk, techno and others) is indescribable, but Amy Grill has been able to capture enough and encapsulate it into a full-length documentary; an incredible story.

After the film, we will be partying our asses off at the Middlesex Lounge where Make It New - the greatest party on the planet Earth - will commence 'til 2am. After that, who knows? :)

For more information on the world premiere later today, and how to get tickets and attend, please check out the Facebook page here.

909s & Good Times



A new blog of great eccentricity has emerged. A quirky guy down in Atlanta who divides his love for cured meats, Kraftwerk and hound dogs amongst a wider variety of interests has started a blog called 909s & Good Times.

"I plan to use this space to faulkner on about the old days (we made our minimal techno by using wooly mammoth bones to bang on the plates of a stegosaurus’s back), cooking (esp. charcuterie), restaurants (in the Atlanta area, especially bars, especially alcoholism), music, Judaism (I’ve been converting for a while, now on hiatus, but hope to take the mikveh plunge at some point), my dog Gertrude (she blogs as well) and the overuse of parentheses."

With added haikus and neologisms, it's guaranteed to be worth the occasional visit or steady eye via RSS.
