This video takes a simple concept and turns it into a visual masterpiece. As an added bonus, the track is pretty nice too.

Introducing another semi-regular post subject: What The Kids Are Listening To…

Detroit Hip-Hop artists Invincible & Finale rhyme about the impacts of gentrification on the Motor City.

It’s a slow news day, I’m bored, and for no other reason than that I’m posting this video. It’s also catchy and I like the scenery. So sue me.

I was hanging out at the house on a Saturday night with a pair of unused 40oz beers when I decided to record an impromptu mix, so I did. While it’s not a technical masterpiece it is a showcase of any time any track mixing featuring some nice tech house cuts that you can just plop in the CD player and let play.

If Myspace is the internet’s official popularity measurement, I must be the coolest dude on earth. Paul Oakenfold sent me a friend request.
Should I say yes?

I was introduced to Chromeo yesterday by one of my daily reads on the internet circuit, and I can’t get this song out of my head.

It’s a jam of epic proportions complete with kitchy 80′s funk-electro synth & basslines and geek-chic frontmen. Also major bonus points for the Dire Straits throwback on the video.

I dare you to turn it up and not bob your head. Try me.

As if I need more to remind me I’m getting old…
Did you know it was 10 years ago that Daft Punk released their debut album Homework?

What a wonderful holiday weekend – best DEMF since 2000. Not only did we have amazing weather, but we had the privilege of hosting Steve & Amy up from Hotlanta, as well as Jamie in from Oregon. I’ve posted some of the photos I took from my cellphone in the gallery, with more from a real camera coming soon uploaded as of 6/15/08.

Here’s a taste…
