Taking a quick break from getting ready for this Friday’s gig, I was just looking for video of TP in action. I happened upon this clip from the last time we played together, back in 2000 at Gabes in Iowa City (glow sticks and all). The video starts with a glimpse of Ryan Burns, who …

Felix’s Machines
They call ‘em “music making sculptures”, I call ‘em robots. Evidently Felix is collaborating with Plaid now as well. Link courtesy of DJ Toilet.
Vladislav Delay stuff
I’ve been meaning to write up this album for a while now, as it’s not leaving my mp3 player any time soon, but I’ve just caught up on some reading and noticed that it’s already received an excellent treatment from Toby @ Bleep 43. In case you missed my tweet the other day, there’s also …

The Depeche Mode 101 Rose Bowl Concert
It’s good. It’s basically just the CD with video accompaniment though. So buy the DVD for the whole package, buy the CD/vinyl for your routine listening needs. I still think this is such a perfect time capsule of (pockets of) American infatuation with Depeche Mode. There are moments in almost every song that have a …
But in all honesty
The 101 experience must have made the guy permanently happy. He seems that way anyway. Not bad being part of the best thing ever…
