  • Belated RIP, Dick Clark (b. 1929), eternal teenager, and the Band’s Levon Helm (b. 1940), who always seemed old beyond his years. #
  • Disquiet Junto 16: Make a new track from samples of dice and sandpaper; use one as background, the other as foreground: http://t.co/XdRJsrQ9 #

  • Man, I am so excited about this Chicago Disquiet Junto show: http://t.co/ak3PTwrj. Thursday can’t arrive quickly enough. #
  • Presentation by @voxeet on conference calls @demo. Smart. VU meters & freeform 3D-audio placement distinguish who’s talking. #

  • RT @xyzr_kx playing noise show Thursday w/ @disquiet Junto. don’t expect singing…or notes. well there might be notes http://t.co/HPkcevKJ #

  • So far, my experience of the Jambox is only confirming my sense that Bluetooth is the fax of the digital era. #
  • Eager for Jonathan Lethem’s Fear of Music book from 33 1/3. His They Live fan-notes book was stellar. #
  • Excited to head to Chicago for a few days. If anything’s going on I shouldn’t miss (sound-wise/gallery-wise) lemme know. #
  • If you’re in Chicago Thursday, come hear/see Disquiet Junto live: http://t.co/j4fUeVOe #

  • Cafe radio is channeling my college years: first Violent Femmes, now R.E.M. Guessing there will be no Metallica, John Zorn, or Cecil Taylor. #
