I do not appear to have much that is original to say these days. I may write up a bit about the trustee election; but, as time passes, I find that the entire process is an experience but not a particularly interesting one. I will leave this post with a very beautiful (as in “how much time would it have taken him to achieve this level of control” beauty) clip of a guy moving a crystal (or glass or polycarbonate) ball.
It has been a while since I have had a chance to post a little pop-culture. You may be of the opinion that anybody who simply mixes two songs together and calls it art is not in the premiere league of artists; if it is done well (as in the mash-up of “Sweet Dreams are Made of Seven Nation Army” below — here is a link to the mp3) I figure it deserves consideration. My 80s heart loves the Eurythmics and Annie Lennox’s voice is wonderful. The White Stripes are a good reincarnation of the 1980s in a lo-fi way. I say the mix works.
Here is another example; it mixes a video of folk dancing with a Run DMC song (“It’s Like That”). The dancing is reported to have been taken from www.dancilla.com–I could not connect to verify this. Still, it is good mix.
