yesterday while i was at work the CIA cut the brake line on my bike

fortunately for me, it’s not as effective as cutting the brake line on a car

salty sea

if there’s one thing that the salton sea taught me is that the apocalypse will stink like a mother.

rotting fish smell, stepping on beaches covered in fish skeletons, and flies everywhere. giant monster swarms of flies.

on the bright side, i got to kick a door in. i always wanted to do that.

glanced at the date today and had a brief panic moment that i forgot my girlfriend’s birthday before remembering that

i’m single
i’m thinking of my high school gf’s birthday, we broke up about 10 years ago

i might be working too much.

if I had a dollar for every time I misspelled “live show” as “lie show” and “livejournal” as “liejournal”, then I’d probably misspell them much more often

monophonia

so my boss’ band just got their mastered CD back. the mastered CD was mono. they emailed the mixing guy saying “hey, i think you gave us the wrong version”, here’s the reply, copy pasted:

“No. It’s mixed mono. All tracked straight up. It comes out both speakers. Most of the records I record are this way. Mono just means we did not pan any instruments in the stereo L-R field. I prefer it because it’s always balanced and never any phase issues to deal with, which can get tricky.”

so much awesome in such a short bit of text. “it comes out both speakers” and “no phase issues, which can be tricky” are both absotively fantastic

third wilhelm reich

watched the wilhelm reich documentary on netflix… i guess i was hoping for more stuff about his theories on hitler and communism, and a bit less about the trial and the FDA burning his books thing.

reich strikes me, similar to jung, as someone who is quite good at asking questions and quite terrible at attempting to answer them. i think it’s a fascinating topic to ask whether there is a tie between sexual repression and a willingness to follow fascism, and as so whether hitler was a construct that at its foundations had the atomic german family. i think it’s a much less interesting question as to whether the FDA was procedurally allowed to get an injunction against orgone accumulators. wish the movie talked less about the latter and more about the former.

incidentally, orgone accumulators were just wooden boxes. i was really hoping for some crazy steampunk glass and brass thing.

yes, i have an attraction to true believers of insane concepts, why do you ask?

in reaper’s song “she’s a devil and a whore”, i cannot hear him say that at all. all i hear is “sheezadavi lakahore”.

here, i made you a video of just that looped, try it:

sheezadavi lakahore

EDIT: best interpretation so far is “she’s a tiny little horse”

anyone got a download link for this song? fantastic mashup, but DJs From Mars don’t make it easy to find mp3s.

this song is about exactly what i like DJing when i’m spinning mashups. uptempo thumpy electro remix of a rock song, with pop-rap vocals on top.
