Man, bananas do NOT keep in this heat. I bought a bunch earlier this week and they were already barely edible. I threw three of them into my blender along with some ice and (non biohazard) protein powder left over from the above: The end result was not bad. The truth is 3 bananas (especially squishy ones) blend down in to remarkably little volume.

Dean Ellis (1979) Snow Moon Rising over Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. A young 19 year old Teddy Roosevelt at Harvard. Split Apple Rock, New Zealand. "land of the because of the brave USA free" Northern Lights over Norway. Frozen, abandoned piano. Leaked estimates of Steam player counts. Russian political compass.

FWIW I liked Lee Marrow's eurodance productions. "Baby Baby" is nearly as good as "Rhythm of the Night" even if it didn't chart in the US at all.

A half an hour treatise on early "consumer" digital audio recording from a painfully polite British chap.

I put last night's show up on Mixcloud: Initially I wasn't that pleased with it, but upon reflection I actually quite like it. I haven't been feeling myself for the last month for a lot of reasons (more on that later) and I went into the show with more of a sense of dread than anything else. That's part of the reason I started with a BPM roughly twice what I normally do. When I'm feeling low, I need more high energy music to bring me up. That said, I do love turning the idea of what is ostensibly dance music on its ear.
