Maxim (of The Prodigy fame), Pursues Solo US DJ Tour.

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Terry Gotham

The Prodigy are a strong contender for my favorite live act ever. Strong praise but if you’ve ever seen them live (or 4 times, like I have), you know that they’re definitely able to control a crowd in a way most other EDM artists could only dream of doing, and were doing so when those artists, producers and DJs were in middle school. It seems the guy who got right in my face at Nation in DC is going to stop moshing and start spinning. The tour details and a handy-dandy mixtape, filled with dubstep, ragga, drum & bass and a dash of anger, are below. I didn’t know he was backing up Feed Me, but it looks like that went over well, so this should be a good time. (via Stoney Roads)

Patrick Stewart, Gurney Halleck & Mood.

Just in case you weren’t aware Patrick Stewart played the Swordmaster of the House Atreides in the hilariously bad 70’s Dune. He (and Sting’s thong) were arguably the highlights of that film. Do the work, even if you’re not in the mood. The fight won’t care whether you’re ready or not.

Banksy Invokes Kelly Rowland & Gladiator

Banksy’s NYC residency is chugging along, with his work providing its own form of local artist stimulus to the Bronx & Brooklyn, while annoying Manhattanites with random art sales & mooing animal trucks. He commented on his usage of (somewhat) trite slogans in his work, and we should all take note.

Qkme_transcriber Describes The Limitations Of Not Being Human.

Amazon’s Humble Beginnings Reminds Us

There is something to be said for just getting to work. No matter how humble your beginnings, great stuff is possible.

“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” ~Camille Pissarro

Truth from Camille Pissarro.

Thich Nhat Hanh gives an uncommon perspective.

Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist master who has contributed quite a bit to my worldview. There is much to be said for adapting to change and doing good work.

Isaac Asimov reminds that creativity escapes the machine.

This becomes more and more relevant every day the machines take over more and more of the a. economy, b. our lives. Create & retain your humanity y’all.

Immortal Technique on Monday!

Just in case you weren’t awake, here’s a reminder from Immortal Technique. If they run from the light, they’re probably doing so for a reason. Truth is like a lion.

Lester Young gets what he wants.

Prez, as he was called, was one of the saxophonists in Count Basie’s orchestra. If you don’t know who Count Basie is, educate the mind. Prez was known for both introducing a relaxed, chilled out tone in his melodies and for spreading much of the 1940’s hipster sub-culture based jargon that a lot of slang in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s grew out of. You pick up what I’m laying down?
