Sleepy searches You Tube even when Sleepy isn’t searching for Sleepy Searches and that is how I found this gem. On the left is DJ Sara, on the right DJ Ryusei.
What did we learn from this somewhat disturbing clip? Five things. 1. That the clip looks to be more real than I would like it to be. 2. That DJ Sara is better than DJ Ryusei 3. That East Asians are the superior peoples of Earth. 4. That camo really is cooler the younger you are. 5. That it is never too early to try to compete with your siblings.What can we guess from this clip? Well, my bet is that these kids are the product of a single dad who either really deserves the coolest dad mug or is a candidate for a random visit from child services. Also, I bet at least one of these kids, probably DJ Ryusei, will give up the tables for a mic much to the chagrin of his backward hatted and needle polishing father. My favorite, and the most telling, part of the clip is a moment towards the when DJ Sara yawns while her brother is playing. Only two conclusions are possible from this moment. Either she is taunting and giving a sly little jab to her brother’s skills or she is signaling to us all that she is in trouble and desperately needs you to send her your dog eared copy of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.

the burros got out;
alien infestation
of feral donkeys
spirit of the land,
copper colored he roams around
soothing freaked out minds
wads of cash hidden
but please don’t tell anyone!
it will pay off the bears
after the payoff:
laughter that calls up spirits
and speaks for the gods

I’m taking over as gunner until the 505 gets back in the game. Today’s subject comes from the originator of the 12″ single vinyl format, Tom Moulton. You can attribute to him the popularization of the extended mix with that big beat, starting with disco and permeating the music you hear today. His editing technique consisted of addition by subtraction, that is, taking certain elements out of the mix. This minimalist technique made for some pretty danceable stuff, or in his words, “I never made a dance record, I made records you can dance to.”
I find his work beautiful not only for the dancing purpose, but for everyday activities like making coffee, using turn signals, brushing hair. Eno may have made ambient works to be played in airports or over the head of an OB-GYN in the delivery room, but he certainly didn’t invent the concept. With this in mind, I’m working on a dawn mix that I would like you to play from the moment you wake up to the moment you actually start your day, preferably starting at some point before sunrise. Go to bed a little early, say ten, and take half an hour for yourself.
I would love to hear what you think about this.
All vamping aside, here’s Patti Jo via Tom Moulton, complete with a People’s Court esque intro. Hip to the lip:
Here’s an interview with Tom.
