That high, Allen! Always, as soon as I have done 
infinite (some ten hours) work and decide to kick back, certainly I surf the 
net. Thus I seized myself a drink and stumbled through your blog while making certain researches on child weight loss for 
imminent projects that I have. That spouts out even if this lumbering is not what I really seek. I enjoy lighting your

much say DISTORTION, Allen, is SPEED. Other half and more can be obtained behind 
our put upon friends (good put upon friends). I need an enormous rupture. I mean 
rapture. I work with this project now, it is based on celebrity weight loss. I 
was literally on line for 2-3 hours making this research. Even if this lumbering is really not on the same page as celebrity weight 
loss, I am certainly happy I came through to your blogs. It is a ton of large 
points for this blog. The well thinks the scatologies

Hey Allen. Blog much of malevolence, which I hardly

seize my license. I spent the last 6 months seeking the 
image of weight loss. In the medium of my surfing, I landed smack in the means 
of yours blog. I hope you did not think I was intruding but I must say that it 
is large blog. Even if this lumbering is direction out 
of basic image of loss, I found weight cruising through your blog files for the

spouts certainly out of this blog that is not approximately Fahrenheit weight 
loss. What the heck! I guess that the Internet can play some tricks sometimes 
there. I was online for two hours seeking weight loss and came falling through

Feingold Beats Bush In Patriot Act Fight

John Nichols
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?bid=1&pid=43115
Posted 12/16/2005 @ 3:19pm

Four years ago, U.S. Senator Russ Feingold distinguished
himself as the Senate's premier defender of the
Constitution, when he cast the chamber's sole vote
against enactment of the Patriot Act. As a time when
every other senator -- even liberal Democrats with long
records of championing the Bill of Rights -- joined the
post-September 11 rush to curtail basic liberties,
Feingold stood alone in defense of the principle that it
was possible to combat terrorism and protect the rights
of Americans.

But Feingold no longer stands alone. On Friday, he led a
bipartisan group of senators that successfully blocked
the administration's concerted effort to renew the
Patriot Act in a form that maintains its most abusive
components. A move by Republican leaders of the Senate
to prevent Feingold from mounting a filibuster fell
seven votes short of the number needed. A remarkable 47
senators -- including Democrats and Republicans --
backed the Wisconsin Democrat's stance. That's far more
than the 40 needed to prevent a filibuster, and it means
that Feingold now heads a coalition that should be able
to force significant changes in the Patriot Act before
the December 31 deadline for its renewal.

The Senate coalition that the maverick senator has
assembled is made up of members from across the
political spectrum -- from Massachusetts Democrat Ted
Kennedy, the dean of Senate liberals, to Idaho
Republican Larry Craig, one of the chamber's most right-
wing members -- who have joined Feingold in calling for
reform of the Patriot Act.

This coalition did not just form overnight.

It is the result of four years of hard work by Feingold
and others who recognized that the fight to fix the
Patriot Act would have to be a long-term struggle.

Some members of Congress were swayed by Feingold's
constant pressure on Patriot Act issues, and by the fact
that the senator was easily reelected in 2004 after a
campaign in which he highlighted his opposition to the
measure and his concern for the Constitution.

Others were influenced by the diligent efforts of U.S.
Representative Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and his allies
in organizations of librarians and independent
booksellers, who campaigned for three years to alert
Americans to the fact that the Patriot Act allowed
federal agents to collect information on the reading
habits of law-abiding citizens.

Others, still, were convinced by the success that the
Bill of Rights Defense Committee had in getting seven
states and close to 400 communities across the country
to go on record expressing concern about the damage done
by the Patriot Act to Constitutional protections against
illegal searches and other abuses.

So popular did the movement to fix the legislation
become that this week, with the December 31 deadline for
reauthorizing the Patriot Act looming, the Bush
administration and its Congressional allies were forced
to use a backdoor maneuver to thwart reforms that had
been unanimously agreed to by the Senate. A conference
committee report that was supposed to reconcile the
Senate and House versions of the reauthorization measure
instead was turned into a vehicle to maintain the most
controversial and unpopular components of the Act.

The White House and its Congressional allies thought
they could secure reauthorization of the act in a form
that allowed the Justice Department and other federal
agencies to continue running roughshod over the Bill of
Rights by bringing the measure up on the eve of the
Holiday recess and then spinning up the usual
hyperventilated talk about how it is necessary to crush
the Constitution in order to keep the American people
safe.

The maneuver worked in the House, where the report was
approved Wednesday by a 251-174 vote. (The
administration won that vote only because 44 Democrats,
including Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland,
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Rahm
Emanuel and Ben Cardin, a candidate for Maryland's open
Senate seat in 2006 -- voted with the vast majority of
House Republicans for a measure that the American Civil
Liberties Union condemned as lacking "needed safeguards
to protect the privacy and constitutional freedoms of
innocent Americans.")

But, even as the House fell in line with the
administration's scheme, Feingold refused to back down.
He met the White House onslaught with a promise to do
everything in his power to block reauthorization of the
act in a form that does not sufficiently address
concerns about federal agencies entering the homes of
citizens of innocent Americans, reviewing library and
medical records as part of "fishing expeditions" and
secretly subpoenaing information without following
standard legal procedures.

Mysterious carnivore discovered in Borneo's forests

2005-12-17 Thread phanero

06 Dec 2005
Gland, Switzerland - WWF researchers may have discovered a new, mysterious 
carnivore species in the dense, central
forests of Borneo.

The animal, a mammal slightly larger than a domestic cat with dark red fur and 
a long, bushy tail, was photographed
twice by a camera trap at night. This could be the first time in more than a 
century that a new carnivore has been
discovered on the island.

However, WWF researchers have not yet established whether this is an entirely 
new species or if it is a new species of
marten or civet cat, which looks like a cross between a cat and a fox.

I can't say for sure what edge, if any, I have from being diagnosed as bi-polar 
II, especially since I also have an obsessive-compulsive disorder, which has 
been far more painful and destructive in my life.  I also have never published 
a book of poems.  No edge there.  So the "edge" might be only in somehow being 
able to more easily ignite my thoughts when I am experiencing a natural HIGH, 
and an ability (or disability) in being able to feel more deeply when in a 
depressed state.  One is more delicate and elegant, dare I say?

"We of the craft are all crazy," remarked Lord Byron about himself and his 
fellow poets.  "Some are affected with gaiety, others by melancholy, but all 
are more or less touched."

I recommend a book called TOUCHED BY FIRE:  Manic-Depressive (bi-polar) Illness 
& the Artistic Temperament, by Kay Redfield Jamison.  It is available in 
paperback, and used copies are available for under $5 dollars at Amazon.  About 
100 customer comments at Amazon will also definitely let you know whether you 
would want to read the book or not.

you heard the Lesser + Kid 606 stuff? that track Catnap (speaking of people
that is hot.. (to me) the track hydrophycyclic feels like your coming in fast 
over mos eisely in a sky ambulance
OW.. that is HOD.. catnap is pure bootytremor, its all booty:


Kid 606 is one of the pseudonyms of 19-year-old Michael Trost Depedro, a 
nine-fingered electronic musician living in San
Diego, with releases on the Vinyl Communications imprint. His styles range from 
abstract Merzbow-like noise and digital
ramblings through obnoxious hardcore/gabber, grating techno, media-error FX, 
the occasional fucked beat/break
combination, and, more often than not, combining most of the above in one track. He 
attributes the diversity "to
something like musical multiple personality disorder or creative short attention 
span."

While the music suggests a repressed individual exploding cathartically, the Kid 
stresses he is "a really nice guy,
addicted to diet soda and Miami bass, with an obsession over Opposite of Sex-era 
Christina Ricci." His first release,
Don't Sweat the Technics, was a 70-minute excursion delving into diverse 
expressions of audio-fuckery. Glimpses of
gabber, abstract noise, and digital mucking about all come through, incredibly 
noisy and obnoxious, yet almost hypnotic.
Nothing is spared the treatment, not even a cheeky department store advert for 
a teen fashion show. Taken as a whole,
the Kid seems to be way ahead of himself on this one. The music evokes the 
bizarre feeling that you've caught a glimpse
of future nostalgia.

The music is from the 21st century (not so far off anymore), yet viewed from 
the perspective of a music historian of an
even later time. It's like catching a glimpse of the degradation of a CD-R of 
mind-blowing music from the future, with
the sonic glitches and drop-outs not being intentional but part of the decay 
process over the years. Confusing. His
other two releases, one split CD each with labelmates Lesser ("my 
bandmate/mentor/best friend") and Omnibot , are
outward extensions of what's found on his first release. The LSR/KID-606 CD 
travels a more pounding, rhythmic route,
whereas the Omnibot release, ("not my most inspired moments, some from when I was 
16"), while keeping with an aggressive
rhythm, travels a harsher, crunchier route, and ends in a cacophony of white 
noise. Kid 606, a.k.a. Tigerboy, Scsi Bear,
Ariel, Compact Digital Audio, and 1/3 of Disc with Matmos and Jay Lesser, is 
set to unleash a bunch of new tracks and
remixes for labels Vinyl Communications, Alien8, and more . The Kid was nice 
enough to engage in an interview via email
with Grooves.

Grooves: Wassup with the titling on your releases? They seem to be really 
personal.

Kid 606: Absolutely, most definitely. I get all personal with song titles, 
because if I wrote poetry, I would feel
extremely troubled! I am very sensitive, and to quote the Big Worm (who was the 
big fat drug dealer/ice cream truck
driver) from Ice Cube's marvelous epic movie Friday, "I don't like people messing 
with my emotions." Pretty much the
only way I know of venting or at least thinking I am getting something off my 
chest is by getting all Bukowski on the
song titles. All my song titles are about experiences and mainly about being 
young (and dumb!) and weird relationships.
I also like them to not ever have a chance of showing up on another artist's 
record, especially since I am super against
different artists using song titles over and over again (examples: "lies," "fire," "pain," 
"despair," "red," "love"),
so...

Grooves: Are you trying to excise demons with tracks like "Fuck off Sarah" or 
trying to convey a message/emotion, or am
I reading way too deep?

Kid 606: You can definitely never read too deep into any song title or liner 
note on anything I do. Lots of musicians
just use random things and expect or hope people to attach meaning to them or 
have it just be vague, but absolutely
everything I do has intricately planned and carefully placed messages or 
emotions I am trying to convey. I kind of think
I get way too obsessive about it and am weirding out people (definitely 
myself!), but I am pretty sure most listeners
don't even notice or care. It's also a comment on how electronic music has 
almost done away with the need for song
titles, and they might as well be numbers that carry no meaning to people and 
just signify the order which they are in.
I feel rebellious having a song title that has deep personal meaning when the 
music is just me trying to figure out how
to make a beat sound as fucked as possible and have no bassline or something. I 
have had people tell me that think a
certain song title means something to them or they think it is really funny 
every now and then, but I hear from a bunch
of people that say they listen the CD a lot but don't even pay attention to 
song titles because they think they are
unnecessary in electronic music.

Grooves: What's your view on recent electronic music?

addicted to diet soda and Miami bass, with an obsession over Opposite
of Sex-era Christina Ricci." His first release,
Don't Sweat the Technics, was a 70-minute excursion delving into
diverse expressions of audio-fuckery. Glimpses of
gabber, abstract noise, and digital mucking about all come through,
incredibly noisy and obnoxious, yet almost hypnotic.
Nothing is spared the treatment, not even a cheeky department store
advert for a teen fashion show. Taken as a whole,
the Kid seems to be way ahead of himself on this one. The music
evokes the bizarre feeling that you've caught a glimpse
of future nostalgia.

The music is from the 21st century (not so far off anymore), yet
viewed from the perspective of a music historian of an
even later time. It's like catching a glimpse of the degradation of a
CD-R of mind-blowing music from the future, with
the sonic glitches and drop-outs not being intentional but part of
the decay process over the years. Confusing. His
other two releases, one split CD each with labelmates Lesser ("my
bandmate/mentor/best friend") and Omnibot , are
outward extensions of what's found on his first release. The
LSR/KID-606 CD travels a more pounding, rhythmic route,
whereas the Omnibot release, ("not my most inspired moments, some
from when I was 16"), while keeping with an aggressive
rhythm, travels a harsher, crunchier route, and ends in a cacophony
of white noise. Kid 606, a.k.a. Tigerboy, Scsi Bear,
Ariel, Compact Digital Audio, and 1/3 of Disc with Matmos and Jay
Lesser, is set to unleash a bunch of new tracks and
remixes for labels Vinyl Communications, Alien8, and more . The Kid
was nice enough to engage in an interview via email
with Grooves.

Grooves: Wassup with the titling on your releases? They seem to be
really personal.

Kid 606: Absolutely, most definitely. I get all personal with song
titles, because if I wrote poetry, I would feel
extremely troubled! I am very sensitive, and to quote the Big Worm
(who was the big fat drug dealer/ice cream truck
driver) from Ice Cube's marvelous epic movie Friday, "I don't like
people messing with my emotions." Pretty much the
only way I know of venting or at least thinking I am getting
something off my chest is by getting all Bukowski on the
song titles. All my song titles are about experiences and mainly
about being young (and dumb!) and weird relationships.
I also like them to not ever have a chance of showing up on another
artist's record, especially since I am super against
different artists using song titles over and over again (examples:
"lies," "fire," "pain," "despair," "red," "love"),
so...

Grooves: Are you trying to excise demons with tracks like "Fuck off
Sarah" or trying to convey a message/emotion, or am
I reading way too deep?

Kid 606: You can definitely never read too deep into any song title
or liner note on anything I do. Lots of musicians
just use random things and expect or hope people to attach meaning to
them or have it just be vague, but absolutely
everything I do has intricately planned and carefully placed messages
or emotions I am trying to convey. I kind of think
I get way too obsessive about it and am weirding out people
(definitely myself!), but I am pretty sure most listeners
don't even notice or care. It's also a comment on how electronic
music has almost done away with the need for song
titles, and they might as well be numbers that carry no meaning to
people and just signify the order which they are in.
I feel rebellious having a song title that has deep personal meaning
when the music is just me trying to figure out how
to make a beat sound as fucked as possible and have no bassline or
something. I have had people tell me that think a
certain song title means something to them or they think it is really
funny every now and then, but I hear from a bunch
of people that say they listen

Re: [_arc.hive_] NEW [N]+Semble MP3 Album

2005-12-17 Thread Alan Sondheim

You're taking on BlueNote here, was just listening to Herbie Hancock DVD
the other day, incredible stuff, this fits right in, thought the 4/4 would
remain really appreciated the waltztime although wondered about the
calliope effect or what I read as such - btw if you have any comments on
the mp3s I've put up wd be glad to hear them - curious about the
instrumentation you're referencing - this is so fucking sophisticated -
clean - brings back memories of Downbeat magazine, that's still going but
it's lost the edge from the Jones' Applecores days - anyway - you've even
got the snare/hihat in there w/ the echo & that high flute - cool or even
cold version of Mingus - then again I love the being-there of jazz, the
_body_ of it, the real-time edge to it - can't stand those latenight
talkshow bands - Paul Shaffer - all this cymbal work - there's an odd
repression to at least the bands I've listened to - keeping the equalizer
even-paced - I miss Cherry, Pharoah Sanders - that fucking dates me - well
I used to go walking thru Cabbagetown - this is the revised edition -
after the new money moved in - where's Walker Evans when we need him -
there's an existential aspect to the being-outside-of-time in these peaces
- that's cresendos and diminuendos as if there were solos - but then more
- coming in - Ascension on quaaludes to the incandescent power (The Ogre)
- tuned in tuned down - one of the problems I've got w/ digital - there's
no noyz boyz - no string buzz cough breath errors - don't know if you
listened to the Track stuff I've got up - it's all that - noyz of acoustic
guitar - buzz/ - errors - strin/g slippage - hammer on w/ nail click -
times you can hardly here the cords - alway/s had a problem w/ vibraphone
btw - played xylophone at 1 point - again that hammer sound - vp takes it
all out - anyway - west coast jazz - cool jazz - continuous transmutation
of form - wonder about the beat - the 4/4/4 the most part but then I'm
tired of breathing that way - prefer the 1/1 of fast new music - which can
go to X/Y or any such - depends and usually doesn't - or nothing - when
Ayler and friends loosen out into that boundary no-man's no-woman's either
between open/close statements - lost in the bridge of infinitude -
infinite speedup sends it Coleman or sum such - those fast riffs all
orderly - I'm always wondering about beauty - that split in yr work -
between the scratch-lexture and the cool jazz stuff - prefer the chalk but
that's the annihilation/apocalypse in me talking - these are unutterably
beautiful - alan

Seven, count 'em seven new tracks from [N]+Semble.

A little jazzier than the previous album, PulpCycle.
