Liberate.Me

As soon as possible I will be opening my new and weblog. TheBeatMonger concept started as a couple DJs in Florida looking for some good beats to peddle to the masses. It was and still is disorganized because life happens while you plan. I have some free time to rework my writing into a new project that deals with our longing for escape through media and goes far beyong the scope of this blog.

A timeline? I'm not a Senator so I can't promise anything I can not deliver so it is ready when it is ready. I should get back to work now. Chew on this while dinner is cooking.

Throw up that Gang Sign

Data Smog

When I look at the list of music I have bought/downloaded (guilty as charged) / or ripped, I sometimes get a little asphyxiated with what David Shenk calls Data Smog.

I suppose I'm an information asthmatic. It is hard to remain productive, be that selecting new music for the season or keeping track of RSS feeds, or even remembering my passwords.

I however am confident in saying that my information smog cannot begin to compare with Beijing's real smog. And since I am not hosting any Olympics anytime soon, my net-coughing is just a blip on the Inbox.

Eagle vs. Goat

Happy Hardcore is the goat here.

Buddha is Watching You

Interesting technique. The painting is concave. The would make for some interesting deco at a party. What do you think?

We Love You George Carlin

One of my favorite comedians, and philosophers, of all time. George has influenced so many people with his raunchy thought provoking quips. I feel so lucky to have finally gotten a chance to see him live last year. RESPECT.

What You Can Do For Music?

You do what you can, but food comes first (most of the time). As you may or not have noticed, I haven't really been posting much lately, and I attribute that to my preparations to outsource myself.

What if I could work in a geographically independent manner? My preference is a nice secluded beach in Costa Rica next to a nice beach-house-club and decent sound equipment to throw some sandy parties

So I tirelessly toggle Ideas noting what sticks to the pan as I consult pen-pals (remember those days?) for feasibility.

What if I start a blog about outsourcing myself...but of course continue this one which will only happen if and when I make some more free time...

Right now I sit in a cubicle (an open one, mind you)...

...Sitting through a shitty band

Getting dog shit on my hands

Getting hassled by the man

Waking up to an alarm

Sticking needles in your arm

Picking up trash on a freeway

Feeling depressed everyday

Leaving without making a sound

Picking my dog at the pound

Living in a tweeker pad

Getting yelled at by my dad

Saying I'm happy when I'm not

Finding roaches in the pot

All these things I do

They're waiting for you

(Sublime - Garden Grove lyrics)

...or not

Blue it up on South Beach

I would like to thank my buddy Francisco (Arjuna / Franz Martins) and the cool crowd at Blue for the hospitality and great music.

Francisco and I opened the night with a two-hour minimal blast. Let me put it this way: I had so much fun that I completely forgot to take pictures! Francisco filmed some of the mix, and I have to get my hands on it ASAP to post here.
