I found that having a general music blog was too tough for me. This new blog focuses on the motorik beat and its long lasting influence on rock music.

Eno

This is a brilliant interview where Brian Eno discusses music that generates itself and what he thinks it means to be an artist.

“An object of culture does all of the following, it innovates, it recycles, it clearly and explicitly rejects, and it ignores. Any artist’s work that is doing all those four things and is doing all those four things through the metaphors that dominate our thinking.”

Started a second blog for our video game radio show

Deep Fried Butt 1.4.11

So I do a whole ton of stuff at WNUR these days. In addition to my weekly rock show - Wednesdays at 630pm- i am doing a weekly show on video game music on Wednesdays at 9pm (http://greatestbits.tumblr.com), a jazz show every other Tuesday at 7:30AM and a funk show every three weeks on Tuesdays at 9PM. Woof. Should be a lot of fun though.

Here is the playlist for the funk show tonight. Enjoy!
