Classic
I’m in the middle of editing a particularly confusing English translation of an academic paper for publication. I usually decline work like this, but the client agreed to a generous hourly wage (it makes more sense than charging per page), so here I am, slogging it out all weekend. I hate doing work like this when the kids are home, because all I want to do is play with them and there are constant distractions. Anyway, I had a sudden need to hear Mariah’s first album in all its Vision of Lovingestlyish glory, so I fired up the music transmogrifier and the tunes instantly flowed from my PC’s speakers… Took…

Couple of music links
Just kinda testing again after all the problems I’ve been having here: Sun Ra – Historic master tapes, stampers, and mothers auction on ebay Somebody needs seed money for a microdot startup! “Which might or might not be Sun Ra’s. ” Classic. Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World One of the best street performers I ever saw in Japan used an electric shamisen and a Cry Baby; that was the day I had to sell my Groovebox. Traditional Cambodian Music: Land Mine Victim Band A video I took amongst Khmer ruins on a hot, hot day.

Sarakham Music
Taro came over a few weeks ago, and we stopped by a recently-opened music shop while the kids were at Tae Kwon Do. It’s the largest music store in Sarakham with possibly legit big brand stock, and also has 5 studio rooms in the back. The owner is super-friendly and let Taro try out the gaudiest German electric I’ve ever seen. (I took this photo with T’s camera)

Sony hates you.
“Last Friday, Sony Music sent Gummy Soul a cease and desist order for Amerigo Gazaway’s “Bizarre Tribe: A Quest To The Pharcyde”.” LINK Sony just doesn’t get it: They don’t know how to make good products anymore. They don’t understand “fair use.” They don’t know how to get back all the loyal customers they chased away over the years… It seems they only want to make a last few bucks before Samsung and Apple and all the other companies who do get it (a little better, at least) collectively piss on their grave. Die, Sony, die. By the way, the album mentioned above is simply sublime.

The Beginning of the Golden Age – Freestyle Cool J 1985
This video is mindblowing on so many levels – it’s the earliest footage of LL performing vocally (there is apparently earlier footage of him breaking). There’s a small crowd in the college gym that’s apparently getting its first taste of rapping/scratching. LL explains what he’s going to do before actually doing it; at this point, he hasn’t even released his first album! If you click through to the YouTube page, the son of the man that hired LL for this performance reveals details in the comments.
