play list 08/28/2008

No time to write much now, Kathleen and I are about to head to a backgammon tournament in madison, wi. 8 hour drive.

i watched a bunch of ali g videos online this week. him talking at harvard graduation is great. sasha baron cohen is so funny. so i decided to play some of his brother's band, zohar, today.

besides those videos, the funniest video i saw this week was sent to me by my friend carol port. its a disco dancing instructional video from finland. the guy is excellent and busts some sweet moves towards the end.

Play list - 08/14/2008 - post SF trip

Just got back from a vacation in San Francisco with Kathleen. I bought about 45 used CD's at Amoeba, the best record store in the world. Most of them were $2 or $3. i'm trying to branch out a little into funk/soul, so i bought some james brown and a cool funk instrumental cd called black feeling. so i started off with that today.

while in SF, i visited andrew, the owner of the satamile and bot record labels. he showed me his sweet home studio and gave me some new stuff to play, so that was fun and put me at about 50 albums to take home. hopefully i'll listen to them all eventually.

i'm also still enjoying latin techno music. here's tijuana sound machine:
