http://www.jefferymac.com Shambolic to say the least. Tue, 04 Nov 2008 07:51:05 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en "In my practice I see how people have allowed their humanity to drain away…only it happens slowly instead of all at once. They didn’t seem to mind…. All of us, a little bit. We harden our hearts…grow callous…only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how ... http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/11/pod-people/ I really wish I had a) more to say and b) more time to say it. I don't, so instead I'll share some more videos with you. This time a few choice sounds from one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES (caps required!), the inimitable Severed Heads. All three of these ... http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/11/i-kind-of-suck-at-blogging/ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhzVeWS5UZ4[/youtube] http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/10/vmas-in-a-perfect-world/ The world is falling apart, and all can do is watch...

What, me worry? http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/10/fiddling-while-rome-burns/ http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/10/how-to-tell-things-are-getting-back-to-normal/ Honestly, I was *kidding* about weathering this storm with duct tape, Can records and Twinkies. In fact, my family was well stocked with food, water and gas. We had planned on sitting tight and waiting out the storm and aftermath at our home. Apparently Ike was *not* in the mood ... http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/09/ike-was-no-joke/ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oyKKahQoDY[/youtube] Batten down the hatches and gas up the generators...I'm about to ride out Ike with nothing more than a roll of duct tape, 2 boxes of twinkies and a Can record set to play on repeat. Wish me luck. http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/09/mother-sky/ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK3ED1z2WK4[/youtube] I am all about this DJ Koze remix, a brilliant send-up of a track that simultaneously cheers on, and pokes fun at, the Great Minimal Backlash of '08. The track itself is whip-smart disco dub: anchored by a chunky, rubbery groove, draped in a silky organ drone, and punctuated with ... http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/09/really-feeling/ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NETuCMeQds8[/youtube] Maybe if I treated it nicely, it would complete the pile of work on my desk and free me up up to focus on things like setting up my new DMX rig! http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/09/i-need-a-disco-computer/ More on this later...it's going to be "off the chain" as the kids say! http://www.jefferymac.com/2008/08/shameless/
