A pretty little play by Philip Dawkins:

Twas a month before Xmas
And –between you and me-
Not a gift had been purchased
To place ‘neath the tree.

The nephews and nieces
(Of which I have NINE!)
Don’t know Santa’s gifts
Come from paychecks of mine.

So, if you’re like I am,
With gifts to be getting,
But you’re broke, no denying
You’re panicked and fretting,

Then may I suggest for the stockings of one young ones:
A play that I wrote that got published by someone!
Head to this website, for that’s where they’re sellin’
My dark play for children called EDGAR AND ELLEN.

What joy when they spy in the sock by the heater
The perfect surprise for the young adult reader!
And when you tell Junior that you know the author,
He’ll think that you’re famous. And, if not, whatever.

On Monday! On Tuesday! Go purchase your playscript.
Online and on credit! On break from your day gig!
A joy for the kids on a bright winter’s day.
Break a leg with your gifts, and to all a good play!

Ho ho ho,

Cynthia ( and Philip will thank you)

What might be hard to see is the cane that this man was using to help him see. You can just see the white ball at the end of it. Regardless someone should tell him that people are laughing at the irony in is choice of luggage, I didn’t. I just took a picture.

Ignore the woman in the foreground and let’s talk about the pawn shop that dresses up for holidays.

先日届いたBeatportのクーポンを使おうと思い久々にBeatportを物色していたのですが、久々に見るとRestrictedばかりでゲンナリしました。
何の為のダウンロードなのかと…レーベルはどっちの方向性に行きたいのかハッキリすべきだよね。

結局Beatportで見つけたのを買う為にbleepやiTMSへも行かなくてはならないハメに…まぁ、今夜のマッシュアップが買えたので良かったけど(笑)

Just a little something to brighten your day.

In honor of Sesame Street’s 40th Anniversary this month, here is a little gem I’ve been enjoying over on the YouTube.

Warning: No profanity has been bleeped in this video and no profanity can be found in this video. You have been warned.

I give  you … the Count!

Personally, I think he must be saying “poop.”

Bei Richard Wiseman fand ich dieses interessante und lustige Video von Graf Zahl. Hier wurde das unschuldige Zähllied des Grafen mit dem typischen Zensurpiepsen aus vulgären erotopoetischen Hip-Hop-Liedern unterlegt an den stellen wo es beim Grafen ums zählen geht.

Seht selbst!

This commercial was @#$%ing funny as hell the first time I @#$%ing saw it. I want to get this powermat that most likely doesn’t work as good as you would think (like all most new @#$%ing technology when they first come out and uses the @#$%ing people to test it), just to support them.

久々に”bleep“で色々とがっつりと曲を買いました。ADDICTECHは”今でも”まだダブステップ辺りばっかで買う買わない以前に試聴する事すらしなくなっているけど…(笑)
Logic 9での製作をしていて初めて買ったシンセに没頭している時のような感覚で音色を作っていて…というか最近は以前のようにガツガツ作り上げていないので音色作りに集中している、Logic 9のおかげでそーいう楽しさを出来ているみたいな。bleepでリリースしているアーティストの多くは音に凄く表現力のあるのでDJingやMixes作りではなくても、買って聴くだけでもとてもためになります。
今日のモーニングトラックはMira Calixで♪

まだ、10月の割には暖かい感じだけどそろそろ秋らしくなってきたなと感じる時もあるので、また鎌倉に戻るプランも考えておかないと。冬以外の鎌倉はやっぱ最高だし、今年は夏鎌倉をスルーしたからなおさら秋を楽しもうかと。

つい最近、iPhoneで発見したのだけどムービーをプレイリスト作って、そこにぶち込めばiPod>Playlistで縦画面のまま観れるって事に気付きました。単に入れただけのiPod>Videoで見るとどうしても横画面じゃないと見れなくて電車とかでちょっとしたMovieやVideo Clipを見る時にiPhoneを横にするのが、いかにもっぽくて嫌だったのだけどコレで解消しました。

WE DON’T NEED NO F***ING KEY!!… )

I was watching PBB Double up, now on its 5th episode since “Kuya” opened his doors again last Sunday, October 4, 2009. Princess, the representative from Cebu had a fight with one of the housemates while they were arguing about something related to cooking. She got berserk and pissed off and she uttered the word “KAY*TA OI” …..ON-AIR….. which basically means “F*CK” in the Visayan Language.

I hope I heard it wrong…but I guess…I did hear it right. I was just surprised that the segment was not “bleeped out” and surprised that ABS-CBN didn’t notice that. Maybe the editors of the show are all from Manila. Just surprised that it was not screened properly.

Or Maybe I was just sleepy and hallucinating….as for me…that is actually the simplest word that you can speak out loud when you are angry “the Cebuano way”.

Jeeeeezzzz…..I know that this is a very bold statement but I wish that could it could be re-aired and prove that I was right.

Anybody out there who saw that part?????

Ring-ring……

Bass, bass, bass! Shockout presents a new EP called “Disciples of Dread” with a new face on the scene – Badxman – plus all time favorite Cardopusher and Kid606. That’s a heavy bass load, as Badxman mixes afrobeat, sick basslines, funky house and bad bass; Cardopusher now is heavy on the dubstep side, with a proper breakcore background, recently dropping remixes for Trouble and Bass, Tigerbeat6 and Hyperdub. On “Disciples of the Dread” he brings 2 tracks in Carribean rasta style with dark bassbin twist forward,  and Kid606, all around bad ass, this time mixes soca, loud claps and synths! Good one.

Give dem tiger food for roaring!

I’ve been so lazy recently with posting on here. I’ve got a massive backlog of stuff that I want to post, mainly mixes, but they can wait…

Warp have released the artwork for Hudon Mohawke’s forthcoming album ‘Butter’ and its… well… intense. I think I love it. I’m just not sure.

Anyway, to back it up Warp and Hudson have posted a mini mix of the album over on their site. You can listen to it here.

Also, the strongest part of the album artwork, the logo, is making its way onto the T-Shirt that comes with the ’spreadable edition’. I’ll definitely be grabbing one of these now.

Listen I get it. You don’t like me, I don’t like you. We are for sure different. You like killing ants with a magnifying glass, I like leaving them a sugar trail. You like spoiling the end of movies, I like having friends.

Regardless up untill now I’ve ignored our differences. That was UNTIL you put this sign up in the employee eatting area.

I hope you realize who you are up against.

In anticipation of the release of his new album, Bleep.com have posted a great interview with Hudson Mohawke. Check it out. And while you’re at it head over to their site to order the ‘Spreadable Edition’ complete with T-shirt, sticker, CD and butter tub. It looks like the page should have audio previews of all the tracks but they don’t seem to be working for me.

Before there was Biosphere there was Bleep, Geir Jenssen’s transition from Bel Canto to his ambient journeys.

Hard to find.

Enjoy

When you see the president at first you have to remind yourself that you are not watching a T.V. You are in fact seeing THE real live President of the United States.

I was performing an underwater dance on the north lawn of the White House decked out in a faux scuba gear with a bubble machine strapped to my back pumping out 1000 bubbles a minute, staring at Barack and Michelle Obama pass out candy on Halloween.

I went there with Redmoon Theatre Company and shared one side of the driveway with Chewbacca and R2D2 and a hand full of drone soldiers on lent from Lucas Films I guess. I mean I overheard someone saying that the guy playing Chewbacca was the real thing; you know the one from the movies. The other half being flanked by the minor characters of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, Belle and the Beast curiously missing.

What was I doing here?

For a split second I pictured Secret Service agents flanking me and dragging me out while children cried and bubble juice leaked down the driveway. Michelle would look up and see me, I would reach my gloved scuba hand out to her. She would turn to have someone do something, anything, but it would be too late. I would be out.

I was snapped back to reality when the Press Core attacked me to get my picture, fifth-teen cameras all clicking the same frame, while I stood frozen with fear of doing the wrong thing. My first paparazzi moment and all I could do was stand there and wave my hand with a stupid grin pasted on my face.

After the Press Corps left, the kids swarmed around me with their parents all clamoring to get a picture with someone that was clearly important. And I was wasn’t I? I was an actress on the front steps of the White House.

“Whoever is in the that costume must be special! Quick Alvin, go stand in front of her! It is a girl, right? Ok, now smile!”

Then Malia and Sasha came out a side door and I was deserted. My moment had passed. I was left standing in a puddle of my own bubble residue on those presidential steps.

The girls left and the line continued to snake past me. Every once and a while kids would come up and try to catch my bubbles or pull on my costume, a family here or there would ask for my picture. But the magic was gone; I was just a costumed performer. And although my costume was designed by amazing artists and looked really cool, the person inside the costume wasn’t famous so therefore didn’t matter to an 8 year old or more importantly to that 8 year olds parent.

Just I was struck with the reality of the situation, Frank Maugeri the director who thought of me for this gig in the first place, said something along the lines of “Yep, that happened.” ,he smiled, congratulated me, and went inside for the company’s photo op with the President and First Lady.

I realized then that if I wanted to have my moment with the President, to shake his and the first lady’s hand, I was going to have to do more then just be a performer inside a costume. I was going to have to be something special in my own right, costume or not.
