Aight. Got a new cafe and lounge set up. We’re at the midweek point once more. I hope you are all are doing okay. I thought I’d play a couple more vids from my grad school days.
This first one is from a DJ Spooky EP released in 1999:
This next one is from the Reich Remixed LP:
Tranquility Bass (Michael Kandel) died too young, but he did leave us behind with this masterpiece.
Sometimes we need to take a break and enjoy the little things. See you all around.
Cheers!
I love this profile of New York Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. Even non-sports fans should enjoy it.
It is a wonderful story. American dreams lost and found, as Studs Terkel might say. In this case, found. FWIW, Hunter S. Thompsons’s old columns on ESPN2 can still be found here:

Have fun exploring.
I always liked when Hunter wrote about football. I enjoyed watching Brady break the Cowboys’ hearts tonight.
Hunter was gifted when it came to football. As far as the Cowboys? There is no such thing as America’s Team. They certainly were never it, even in their heyday. Their hype was over-rated. I’ll give the cheerleaders a pass, just due to their low wages and whatever else they seem to put up with to get noticed. In the meantime, Big Darkness is heading our way.
Well, the Giants sucked, but I get to see them again on Thursday night.
In college football news, University of Arkansas beat the Texas Longhorns. Aside from UT students and alum, I doubt too many folks will be disappointed. UT joins the SEC in the next few years. Should be interesting. In the meantime, the Hogs are 2-0 (so far non-conference play). After several bad years, there may be hope yet. “Woo pig sooie!” (as we say in my neck of the woods). Would not have wanted to be in the stands for either of those first two games, though. Too many unvaccinated folks and all packed in like sardines.
A full album of some experimental electronica for those interested. Freight Elevator Quartet were unique. This was from 2000. The same label that published this LP also published a history of electronic music that was a reminder of just how much women and people of color contributed to electronic music.
