Jazz

From Toni Morrison's "Jazz"... tell me if this isn't one of sexiest, most romantic and beautifully written paragraphs you've ever read.

I was reading and I stopped and went back and re-read and said "wow" alone and aloud.

"A colored man floats out of the sky blowing a saxophone, and below him, in the space between two buildings, a girl talks earnestly to a man in a straw hat. He touches her lip to remove a bit of something there. Suddenly she is quiet. He tilts her chin up. They stand there. Her grip on her purse slackens and her neck makes a nice curve. The man puts his hand on the stone wall above her head. By the way his jaw moves and the turn of his head I know he has a golden tongue.

The sun sneaks into the alley behind them. It makes a pretty picture on the way down".

UGK feat. Outkast, "International Player's Anthem". Love the video. Steel Magnolias meets Hustle and Flow. And Andre 3000! In a kilt! Getting hitched!

DEMF2007

Forget the Iliad. Forget 300. This was epic in a Mother of all conventions kind of feeling. It was a superheroes convention, as Professor Genius said. You know that episode where the Fantastic 4 hang out with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman? That. We renamed out hotel "techno hotel", since we kept on bumping into our "superheroes" lounging around. But it's not even that. We are not easily impressed by flesh and bone, we carry no "starhunter" DNA. We hunt for soul-nourishment, we hunt the music. And that made our trip worthwhile. The music. Model500 (with UR's Mike Banks on keyboards). Jeff Mills (with 3 tunrtables, 3 cd palyers and a 909). 3 Chairs. Monolake. Moodyman at the Rollerskating Rink. Detroit Electronic Music Festival 2007. And the Greektown minibaklavas!

Forget 300. The number is 3000, of course. And 500 - Juan Atkins came out to play. He's a warrior.
