Time for some thread necro in honor of a largely unknown genius. ‎10 years ago today, Drexciya's James Stinson died. I still remember logging on to SoulSeek and the electro room was buzzing with the news. It had only been comparatively recently that his real name was associated with the project. Around that time there were some update wars on the Drexciyan Discogs page that would make a Wikipedian flinch. Now at this current wave of "EDM" popularity crests and the term "electro" has been repurposed to reanimate the career of a legion of has-been house DJs, the importance of what James Stinson and Gerald Donald did in the 1990s under a host of aliases is more important than ever. You will encounter precious little electronic music as challenging and rewarding as that produced by James Stinson in his all too short career. It's not catchy, and it's not necessarily easy to "get." If you listen closely, you will will hear the bleak landscape of Detroit, and the vivid imagination of those who live there and sought to escape to a world of their own making. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrTgSOWGJtU Available in much higher quality here.

STOP IT JAPAN STOP IT JAPAN STOP IT JAPAN. NSFW. NSFL. WTF WTF WTF.

TIL slowed down boat accidents sound like dubstep. When I was a kid, I thought men with grey beards and yellow mustaches got that way because they blew their nose to much.

Varg Vikernes is a meme. Buried ship uncovered by Isaac in Fort Morgan, AL.

I'm guessing it's 2 Girls 1 Cup. 6 1/2 hours of Photoshopping.

Looks like buggery.

Briefly NSWF, if ones looks really closely. This is an example of extreme lens shifting, to maintain perspective. The image circle made by the lens isn't big enough to cover the negative, but the building doesn't appear to be falling over backwards.

This is the Redditor's Wife meme adapted for the POTUS.

Just now noticed this. Dat font on the meter. That D3 is nearly as sharp as a D800. Which lens did you use? 50mm F/1.4?

The POTUS did an AMA on Reddit yesterday and ...brought the site to its knees. Art by Reddit novelty account shitty_watercolor.

Well, fuck. By being a clumsy oaf and general purpose idiot, I just cracked the screen on my Macintop and rendered it useless. This complicates any plans I had both short and long term. I'd be angry, but right now that's counter productive.

IMJO, picture disks are never about quality. Their construction inherently compromises sound. They're fricken awesome to look at however. I've had "Santeria" stuck in my head all week.
