Tenawesomely beautiful day
Last Saturday, that is (was?). We threw a terrace party, ’cause we don’t need no stinkin Miami. Here’s the 2.5 hr set.

HA!
Maybe I should bl0g more, Carles.
So the DMCA took me down a few months ago, too much paperwork to go through. Finally back. Not really tho.
Been doing these ‘Tenacious’ parties up here in Ithaca and just made a silly little edit of a song you might know with a silly little politician you might know.

Hopper House
I had quite a good time this Labor Day weekend, rounding off my week away from work. On Saturday night, RJD2 graced the decks @ Cornell. Dude had 4 turntables and an impressive-looking sampler, tearing through old 12″ records that have been played thousands of times before. I’m curious to know what he has in his crate – some of the old breaks he sampled were just so sexy. Sadly, no footage of his killer performance will be found here, as I forgot my camera. I was too busy trying not to throw up the dirty oysters I ate at Maxie’s. If you want to get into his head (and his iPod), check out his recent interview with the A.V. Club.
I definitely need to give some culinary shout-outs to a couple places along the West shore of Cayuga Lake. We hit up a few wineries on Sunday afternoon, and I must say that Sheldrake Point is something special. I had previously discounted Cayuga wineries as inferior to those on Lake Seneca. Wrong. Sheldrake coaxes amazing things out of tons of different awesome varietals without having to fall back on the sweet Niagara-type hybrids that proliferate the Finger Lakes. I can’t recommend their Cabernet Franc (and its ice wine) enough. Wine-snobbery is fun.
On the ride back South on rt. 89, you’ll also need to stop at the Cayuga Lake Creamery. Cornell Dairy ain’t got shit on them. Blueberry cheesecake ice cream? Yeah, that’s what St. Peter asked me too.
Today, on the way back from dropping off the most precious of cargo at SYR, I hit up the A&W in Cortland. This is going to be a necessary ritual on any ride from Syracuse to Ithaca. I spent the last 30 minute leg of the trip in greasy burger & fries bliss.
I’ve been hearing tracks from Randy Newman’s new album, “Harps and Angels”, a lot this weekend, and it couldn’t be more fitting. I’ve been digging his humorous spin on the current fucked-up situation that is post-9/11 America. Check it out for yourselves:

Laz Cas
Lazaro Casanova has decided to release his new single, Klover, free to the interwebs. Pop on over to his Shot Callin’ blog and snatch it up for some tech house goodness. If you ever have the chance to check out one of his live sets, do so. The guy is a master of his craft.

McLame
I caught this story on NPR the other day and just found this video online. Daddy Yankee endorsing John McCain. Just another great illustration of the laughable state that the Republican party is in.

Just Bang It
As many of you know, A-Trak has been destroying it since he bought his first pair of turntables with his Bar Mitzvah money. He (and Nick Catchdubs) started one of the best up-and-coming labels out there, Fool’s Gold, with Kid Sister, Kid Cudi, Jokers of The Scene, Treasure Fingers, and other great selectas. So, I came across (mad thanks to Pelski) a non-ripped, full HQ version of his over-hyped, but still absolutely fire, collabo with Laidback Luke. Drop it in your sets, guilt-free, this fall.

Electric Mayhem
It has been noted that I take a negative stance on many things. I mean, I don’t consider myself an angry person, normally. But I’ve been rolling stag for a couple months – can you blame a guy?
Here’s something that I can’t really hate on. My boy DJ Electric Mayhem called me up the other night, said he was floating through space or some shit, and then sent me this: Electric Mayhem – Why Not? mix. Astronomical, to say the least, and it’s got a bunch of tracks that have been blowing up my summer playlists. If you’re in Ithaca, you can catch him here every Friday night.
Oh, and dude’s also a modern day Ansel Adams on acid.

Relevance
I was thinking about how things are becoming less and less relevant in the age of the internet and the population’s ability to publish whatever they want. The internet – where appearance is everything. Move on from one idea to the next. ADD culture. Meaningfulness is scarce these days. Would you change your lifestyle so that you can get the most out of life? Anyway, This guy poses the question well.
For those of you in Ithaca this weekend, you can experience something meaningful. You can connect with other people. You can have a blast. You can do whatever the fuck you want. Musefest is going down from 8/22-8/24 just west of town. Good music from the likes of Jsan, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Jimkata, The Rozatones, et. al. See you hippies there.
