Terror Squad leader Fat Joe recently detailed the nitty gritty aspects of his recording contract with E1 Music and explained why he finances his own solo projects.
Citing past DJ Khaled releases under E1 as motivation, Joey Crack said his move from EMI Music allowed him to own the masters to his music.
"I moved everything to E1, I started out with Alan Grunblatt," Joe explained to DJ Envy, "and with all the success we had with DJ Khaled, all his albums, I feel real good about their marketing and promoting team and we're just going in…I put up my own money for my projects so in the back end I can see the most…I'm into owning my own masters, that's the only thing I really, really care about is just owning my own stuff so 20 years from now my kids can eat off of that. That's what's important to me…" (Sucker Free)
Last month, Joe said his past projects suffered due to poor marketing.
"I'm just trying to go hard. I need the right team," Joe said in an interview. "The right promotion is right for me. I ain't have no team to really promote my stuff. It was important for me. I had a couple of offers on the table, but I went with who I know really knows how to roll up their sleeves and work and really get it done…It was a matter of getting the right deal structured. With me, it's all about owning my masters. If I don't have ownership of my music, I don't really wanna do it. A lot of labels ain't comfortable giving people the ownership of their masters. Basically, I wanted my cake and eat it too. I wanted to own my masters, plus I wanted the illest team that works radio and works video harder than anybody…And I got it." (MTV)
Joe confirmed the move to E1 via press release last month.
"It's been a long time coming," he stated. "I have a long history with Alan Grunblatt and everyone at E1. Although it's a small label, they have the best marketing and promotion staff in the hip-hop game and I'm looking forward to working with them on my new album, 'The Dark Side.'" (E1 Press Release)
In February, the rapper said artists like Trey Songz, R. Kelly and Young Jeezy will be featured on the album.
"The dude Scoop DeVille, the guy who produced the Snoop Dogg ['I Wanna Rock'] joint," Joe said referring to his "Slow Down" single. "We coming with that album, The Dark Side this summer. Early June, whatever the case may be. The album is crazy — I got this crazy joint with me and Trey Songz and we got me and [R. Kelly] after that. They hard, they hard. Basically, I don't want to say what they are on the radio but they hustler anthems…we gotta a couple more announcements to make, you gonna see the movie unfold…We're making probably the biggest move you can make in hip-hop. It's gonna be splashing news in the next two weeks…It's a movie…[Young] Jeezy's my man. I played him ['Slow Down'], it was done, hook and everything. And he was like, 'I gotta get on that thing, Crack." ("Jenny Boom Boom")
Fat Joe's The Dark Side drops Tuesday, June 29th.

Aquariums throw teal and purple luminescence onto green walls, and shelves are packed with colorful pet accessories, such as ferret-size monocles. The boutique also boasts an extensive collection of live feed that ranges from mealworms to mice. The inventory may change from time to time, but previous customers have taken home pet flying geckos, tarantulas, and snakes, as well as chameleons and bearded dragons that are too busy guarding treasure to shave.

Product description
When James Wood's first collection of essays, The Broken Estate, was published in 1999, the reviewers hailed a master critic. The common thread in Wood's latest collection of essays is what makes us laugh - and the book is an attempt to distinguish between the perhaps rather limited English comedy (as seen in Waugh, for example) and a 'continental' tragic-comedy, which he sees as real, universal and quixotic. A particularly acerbic, and very funny, essay - which has been widely celebrated - deals with Zadie Smith, Rushdie, Pynchon and DeLillo; its title, 'Hysterical Realism', has already entered the phrasebook of literary language. With its brilliant studies of Shakespeare, Dickens and Dostoevsky, Naipaul, Pritchett and Bellow, The Irresponsible Self offers more exhilarating despatches from one of our finest living critics.

Author information
JAMES WOOD is a staff writer at The New Yorker and a visiting lecturer at Harvard. In addition to How Fiction Works, he is the author of two essay collections, The Broken Estate and Fun Stuff and Other Essays, and a novel, The Book Against God.
Review quote
"Wood is one of the finest critics at work today, heir to Coleridge, Hazlitt and V. S. Pritchett...He combines the breadth and seriousness of Edmund Wilson with the pellucid prose style of Cyril Connolly...Wood pursues his craft with a high seriousness the like of which we had not thought to see again after the death of Lionel Trilling" -- John Banville Irish Times "Breathtakingly good... James Wood is pretty much as good a general critic of literary fiction as you'll find writing in English at the moment" The Times "A stylish writer as well as a clear-sighted reader. His prose bristles with the sort of epigrammatic brilliance that asks challenging questions even when providing answers" Spectator "The most urgent and morally demanding critic around is the brilliant James Wood... A second powerful collection" Guardian "This is a collection to be read by anyone who wouldn't normally dream of reading literary criticism" Financial Times

When you're dreaming up a new look with the stylists and nail technicians of Garcia's Hair Salon, the sky's the limit. Hair can transform into perfect ombre ringlets or sleek, subtly highlighted bobs, and mani-pedis impart styles ranging from coy (crisp French tips) to dramatic (glittering 3-D embellishments that recite Shakespeare when held up to your ear). Such versatile fashions demand an equally stylish setting, and Garcia's decor delivers: accent walls alternate between cream, red, and brick, and a healthy dose of sunlight keeps the moods as lofty as the updos.
Swirls, sparkles, and colors that flow seamlessly from light to dark adorn the fingernails and toenails that leave NIAN Dur? Hair and Nail Studio, situated within Mocha City Beauty. In addition to nail art, the technicians apply colorful acrylics and permanent french whites. To match the gussied-up mitts, the staff also caters to hair of all textures with a variety of styling treatments.
We are a full service Aveda Concept Salon & Spa located in Historic Downtown Flossmoor, IL. We featrue Aveda Trained Stylists, Professional Skin, Nail and Body Technicians and a Guest Driven environment.
Inside Ultimate Exposure Tanning Centers' Chicagoland locations, a full lineup of UV- and spray-tanning equipment infuse skin with a healthy summer glow year-round. Individual sessions in the automated spray-tanning booths?such as VersaSpa?or UV beds gild bodysuits for nights on the town, and unlimited monthly packages fashion a continuous golden hue previously only available to sunbathing satellites. The salon stocks a variety of tan-accelerating lotions from Swedish Beauty, Australian Gold, and Designer Skin, which deepen bronze hues and moisturize skin to fashion a long-lasting radiance.
Nail technicians at The Sole Fetish Nail Parlour buff fingers and toes until they are smooth, soft, and glistening at the ends. During the Basic Sole 6 manicure, technicians soak hands in a signature bath blend, then file each nail into the shape of a square, oval, or unicorn. Technicians groom cuticles, buff dry skin, and deliver a relaxing massage before a coat of polish seals in handiwork. The express pedicure includes a softening and signature foot soak in addition to basic nail shaping and cuticle sculpting. After buffing removes dull skin and calluses and reveals fresh, softer skin unseen since you were 4, toenails bathe in a shiny layer of polish. Clients may choose to upgrade the manicure or pedicure to a citrus-infused session that includes a paraffin dip or a Minty Winter Ice spa pedicure with a spearmint and eucalyptus soak, exfoliation, warming foot mask, and foot and leg massage.
Warm leaf-green walls ascend from a sprawling hardwood floor at Sizzor Trix, where friendly beauty boosters tend to nails and hair in equal measure. The waiting area's black leather loveseats overlook an immaculate, mirror-lined space where shears snip through men's and women's haircuts, and a mani-pedi station renovates digits. Patrons sink into a plush pedicure chair that, unlike those at most conventional salons, comes equipped with a foot-soaking tub not swarming with orphaned jellyfish. With gentle hands and sharp eyes, an expert eyebrow threader excises superfluous strands using the ancient method, less painful than traditional plucking, of tying thin cotton threads through brows to speedily strip foreheads.

Deploying APM in the Enterprise. In the last installment we covered how you find, test, and justify purchasing an APM solution. This blog will focus on what to do after you've made a purchase and started down the path of deploying your coveted APM tool (ahem, ahem, AppDynamics, ahem). Just clearing my throat, let's jump right in…
Welcome to Part 4 of my series It's time for a celebration, time to break out the champagne, time to spike the football and do your end zone dance (easy there Michael Jackson, don't hurt yourself). All of the hours you spent turning data into meaningful information, dealing with software vendors, writing requirements, testing solutions, documenting your findings, writing business justifications, and generally bending over backwards to ensure that no objection would stand in your way has culminated in management approving your purchase of APM software. Now the real work begins…
The 7 Ps
A co-worker of mine shared some words of wisdom with me a long time ago which have served me well over the years. It's a little saying called the 7 P's and goes something like this… Piss Poor Planning Promotes Piss Poor Performance. Deploying and using APM software is not a time for spontaneity or just winging it. If you want to make mistakes and derive little value from the investment you just put your reputation behind then by all mean just jump in with little or no planning. If you want to be a rockstar you need a solid plan for deploying, configuring, verifying, operationalizing, using, and evangelizing your APM tool (ahem, ahem, AppDynamics, ahem). Just clearing my throat again, I think there's a bug going around ;-P
This blog post is a great general outline for planning your implementation. Everything covered in this post should be part of your planning process and should be considered the bare minimum for APM deployment planning within your organization.
Best Practices
The planning stage is a perfect time to ask your APM vendor for documentation on best practices related to deploying their software. Your vendor (AppDynamics, wink) has seen their software deployed in many situations across many industry verticals. They will have important advice for you on how to make the deployment and operation of their product as successful as possible. Use your vendors depth and breadth of information to your advantage, you're paying them so it's the least they can do.
Controller: The Brain, Narf!
The first major decision will be an easy one. You probably already covered this during the evaluation, vendor selection, and negotiation phases but we will recap here. You need to decide if you will host your own controller or use the vendors SaaS environment. In case you don't already know, a controller is the server component that collects, stores, analyzes, etc… the monitoring data from the agents. Basically the controller is the brains behind the operation. There are many factors that you need to consider when deciding to use a SaaS or On-Premise model and we will not cover them in this post. Your vendor of choice (ahem, ahem, AppDynamics, ahem) will help you decide which option is right for your business circumstances.
Easy peasy lemon squeazy! I have just embedded those words in your head for potentially days, weeks or years to come. Sorry about that but it really describes the SaaS option well. You don't have to get a server racked, VM allocated, disk space configured, solve a Rubiks Cube in 3 minutes or less, or whatever other convoluted deployment process your company may have in order to host your own software. All you really need to do is point your agents at the SaaS controller and you are off and running. Your chosen APM vendor (AppDynamics of course) will handle the server sizing, capacity, maintenance, etc… for you. Nice!
So you've decided to host your own controller(s). We have many clients that choose this route for one reason or another and we make every effort to support you just as well as using the SaaS option. In this case we wont be doing all of the work for you so you need to get cracking on your server deployment process. I hope it's super easy and streamlined and you can have a new host set up and ready to load software in an hour or less. In reality it may take you a few weeks or even months so you need to be familiar with the lead time so that you can appropriately plan the rest of the deployment. You NEED a controller so there is no point in deploying agents without one. Use this lead time to generate the most awesome plan ever!
Agents: Deploying and Configuring
Agents need applications to do anything meaningful so it's a requirement that you figure out what applications you want (or will be allowed) to monitor. You most likely had at least one problematic yet important application in mind when you started your search for an APM tool. Create a list of the applications that need monitoring and prioritize that list. I personally prefer creating a top 10 list (you could also call it a "next 10" list) that is an equal mix of application I suspect will be difficult to instrument as well as applications I think will be really easy. I do this because you usually don't work at deploying agents to application components in a serial manner. It's typically a parallel process where you can jump from one deployment to the next while you are waiting for approvals, personnel, or anything else that gets in your way of doing actual work.
Deploying APM agents should be easy. Add a very small amount of software to the server you want to monitor, reference the agent software in your application configuration and restart your application. It's basically that easy to deploy an agent. It should also be really easy to configure. In fact, the agent should automatically detect what it needs to monitor and simply just work. This is how AppDynamics works but the same does not hold true for most other APM vendors. Hopefully you saw this when you ran each vendor solution through your POC environment. In the interest of full disclosure I will admit that there are circumstances where NO APM solution can automatically detect your application properly and there is more configuration work to do. This is a problem that every APM vendor has to deal with but thankfully AppDynamics sees this condition with only a very small subset of its customer base. Usually you plug in our agent and we show you what you need to see. It just works!
Awesome, now that we just saved you 80% of the configuration time versus deploying "the other guys" what's next?
After you deploy agents (whether it be straight to production or advancing though pre-production environments) and you have used the monitored application a bit, you want to look at the user interface to see if the information contained within looks correct.
- Look at your application flow map to see if you are missing any application components.
- Check the business transactions to see if the expected transactions are there and reporting metrics.
- Do you have end user experience metrics showing up?
- Do you have transaction snapshots showing your custom code executing in the run time?
- Send out test alerts to see if they make it to their destination. (Alerting is important so we will cover it in another blog post)
If things don't look right you need to figure out why. It might be that your application really is different than you thought (we see this quite often), or it could be a problem with the monitoring. Resolve any issues you see before declaring deployment and configuration victory.
Production Load Cannot Be Simulated Exactly!!!
To realize the most value from your APM purchase you MUST run it in production. No matter how good your Quality Engineering team is they cannot code all of the crazy things your users will try to do in production. It can also be very difficult to duplicate your application environment in production. Example, you have 5000 JVMs spread across multiple cloud provider data centers. Replicating that environment would be time consuming and really expensive.
Beyond the technology aspects of running in production you also need to consider your existing processes. Your shiny new APM tool will provide incredible insight into application issues as long as you have it integrated into your processes. Here are some points to consider:
- Are alerts configured so that they are routed to the proper people?
- Does the operations center know about the new alerts that will be coming from your new APM product?
- Is there a process that application owners can follow to request monitoring by your new tool?
- Is there a process to smoothly and efficiently on-board a new application?
- Is the APM tool integrated with other corporate systems? (LDAP, Events Aggregations, Business Intelligence, etc…)
What I am trying to say is; Give your company every opportunity to use the hell out of your new tool!
Teach Them Well
Educate and evangelize, this will pay dividends ten fold.
Create a short training curriculum for anyone who will need to work with your APM tool. You should have training material for basic usage, advanced concepts (memory leaks, policies, dashboard creation, etc…), and operations (alerts/events) training. You need to make sure the people who will touch the product or consume the data have the information they need to be successful. Their success drives your success.
Tell everyone you can about the success you are having with your new tool. Don't be annoying to the point where people run the other way when they see you coming but make sure they know what you are working on and how much of an impact it is having on the business.
For every problem you solve with your new APM tool take 30 minutes to put together a 3–5 slide presentation. Include the following information on each presentation you create:
- Problem Description: Describe the application, problem, and impact level.
- Resolution: Describe the resolution steps and root cause. Use screenshots from your APM tool.
- Business Impact: Describe how long it took to resolve the issue, how long it normally takes without APM, and quantify the impact to the business of this outage for both scenarios (with and without APM).
These short presentations will equip you with the information you need to defend your decision to purchase APM, justify a larger investment, and propel yourself to rockstar status within your organization.
There is a lot of work that needs to be done to successfully deploy, configure and use an APM tool in the enterprise but the potential rewards are staggering. Think about how much lost revenue can be avoided by ensuring your revenue generating applications don't go down at peak times. People notice when the decisions you make and the work you do directly impact the bottom line. Put in the effort and get noticed!

Tech News & Commentary

Smart home systems and services will ring up sales of $18 billion in the U.S. this year and could more than double to $39 billion by 2019, fueled by security and home control products, Strategy Analytics predicted in a report Thursday.
The opportunities in the sector are drawing in big consumer brands like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Samsung.
Professionally installed control and entertainment systems are the largest segment of the market, with 48% of sales today and forecast to be 37% in five years, Strategy Analytics analyst William Ablondi told IBD. The market is increasingly moving from high-end, custom-installed systems to do-it-yourself and mainstream consumer products, he said.
View Enlarged Image
Interactive security systems and services are the second biggest slice of the smart home market, with 29% of sales now and estimated to reach 35% in 2019, he said.
Self-monitoring and control systems are the third biggest part of the market, with 13% of sales now and unchanged in the 2019 forecast.
ADT (NYSE:ADT) and Vivint currently lead the security service segment of the market, with each having more than 800,000 residential subscribers. Comcast's (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Xfinity Home service and AT&T's (NYSE:T) Digital Life service also are in the chase, Strategy Analytics said in a press release.
Lowe's (NYSE:LOW) has a big lead on Home Depot (NYSE:HD) for the do-it-yourself customer with its Iris self-monitoring and control system. But Staples (NASDAQ:SPLS), Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and others are selling Insteon devices, home automation networking technology that enables lights, thermostats, motion sensors and other appliances to interoperate through power lines.
Apple's HomeKit software announced in June showed that the consumer electronics giant is interested in the smart home market as well.
Google signaled its desire to be "a disruptive force" in the market by acquiring Nest smart home devices and Dropcam security cameras, Ablondi said.
Separately, research firm Parks Associates on Thursday said nearly 4% of U.S. households will have a smart home controller by year's end, rising to nearly 6% in 2015. Such devices can control lighting systems, garage door openers, networked security cameras and programmable thermostats.
"The majority of smart devices installed today were acquired as part of a security or home controls system deployed by providers such as ADT, Comcast or AT&T," Parks Associates analyst Tom Kerber said in a press release. "However, consumers are starting to buy individual products such as smart programmable thermostats and smart smoke detectors in greater numbers and install them as stand-alone devices — but with the expectation that these new devices will interact with all existing and future devices in the home."
On Wednesday, Microsoft selected 10 home-automation startups that it will support in an accelerator program it announced in June with American Family Insurance. More than 400 startups applied for the program, Steven Guggenheimer, a Microsoft corporate vice president, said in a blog post.

A "lack of winners" pushed Greenlight Capital down by more than 2% in the second quarter, the New York-based hedge fund told clients in its quarterly letter this week.
The firm's eponymous fund is now down 5% on the year after dropping 2.5% between April and June. Greenlight Capital Qualified is also down 5% following a 2.1% quarterly loss, and the firm's offshore fund is off 5.3% on the year after dropping 2.2% on the quarter.
Greenlight founder David Einhorn noted that the "U.S. economy continued to soften during the quarter," and noted that "the main problem with our performance was a lack of winners in the quarter."
Einhorn noted that Greenlight dumped its stake in Yahoo! just a few months after the company's Chinese CEO, Jack Ma, "hived-off a valuable subsidiary into a corporation that he personally controls."
"From there, the finger pointing started going in every direction," Einhorn wrote. "That wasn't what we signed up for for."
Greenlight took a "modest loss" on its short-lived Yahoo! investment.

We've been buying whiteboards from a competitor for years but not anymore. The quality of EverWhite whiteboards is first rate and only outdone by their customer service. From now on, when I think 'whiteboards,' I'm going to think 'EverWhite'!— Thomas Moore
It takes 20 minutes to install a resurfacing panel — no drilling, no screwing, nothing to do except peel and stick. That makes my job easier. I love EverWhite boards. There's just not a better whiteboard on the market.— Mike Meyers
The best dry erase board we have tried.— Bryan Hunter
We were very pleased with the service, and the boards are great.— Nancy Roberts
We tried three different brands of white boards and found the EverWhite boards from Glenroy to be far superior to the others. It was an easy decision to choose EverWhite for our new campus project.— Darryl De Ruiter
Our EverWhite whiteboard has truly added to the educational experience the students in my room have every day! I am grateful for this wonderful tool.— Cory Greene
We like buying directly from the manufacturer with EverWhite — why pay for a middleman to be involved?— Randy Smith
Thanks a lot for all your help. I can't tell you how happy I am with all of my contacts with your company. From the information and guidance I received about purchasing our whiteboard to your help with shipping.— Joyce Tomasetti
We have an EverWhite board with full and half court diagrams mounted in our locker room. It serves us well in actively presenting a scouting report and is a good visual learning tool for our players. It is a quality board that is easy to use and c...— Coach Larry Hessing

Player I'll be watching
Kapadia: David Molk
The Eagles have suffered several injuries so far this season, but the loss of Jason Kelce is one that could prove to be devastating. Kelce set the protections, was very good in the run game, solid in pass pro and one of the most athletic offensive lineman in the league on screens.
Those are big shoes to fill for Molk, who was out of the league last year and will be making his first career start. Against Washington, Molk struggled, but he's now had a chance to practice with the first team all week long. The Eagles don't need him to Kelce, but they need him to be adequate. Read more »

Wed, Dec 10, 2008
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently granted
certification for Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Localizer
Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) functionality on the
Bombardier Challenger 604 aircraft equipped with Rockwell Collins'
upgraded Flight Management System (FMS) and GPS-4000S global
positioning system WAAS receiver.
Rockwell says this was "a significant effort" jointly funded by
the FAA Air Traffic Organization's Technical Operations (Aviation
System Standards and Navigation Services) and Rockwell Collins for
the FAA's NextGen Air Traffic System, which will allow more
aircraft to utilize existing airspace while increasing safety.
The aircraft and crews to support the significant flight testing
requirements were supplied by the FAA's Aviation System Standards
"Our work with the FAA to certify a WAAS LPV solution featuring
our enhanced FMS and GPS-4000S marks an important step forward in
helping more aircraft operators equip their aircraft for
near-precision approaches at airports not equipped with ILS," said
Greg Irmen, vice president and general manager, Business and
Regional Systems for Rockwell Collins. "This solution, which fully
integrates the GPS-4000S with the LPV capable FMS in Rockwell
Collins Pro Line 4 and Pro Line 21 systems offers simple and
intuitive operation."
The same LPV solution for the FAA's aircraft is now available to
all Challenger 604 operators through Rockwell Collins' dealers.
WAAS improves the availability and integrity of GPS navigation,
enabling suitably equipped FMS to provide horizontal and vertical
navigation to category I equivalent minimums for all users at all
locations within the service area, without requiring airport-based
transmitters or other supporting functionality. Additionally, WAAS
provides service for all classes of aircraft in all flight
operations in its coverage, including en-route navigation, airport
departures and airport arrivals. This includes CAT I equivalent
approaches with minimums as low as 200 feet at locations throughout
the US National Airspace System (WAAS).

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The quality of the invitation is excellent. The texture of the paper, and shadings of the colors are beautiful. Loved the mixture of type styles. Very pleased with this selection."
"My cards came out beautiful in the custom color i picked. Everything looked amazing and the photo on the back had great quality. They shipped and were at my house in a few days, I will buy from this site again."
"After searching for a card that was unique and had the colors we wanted it was such a relief to see these cards. We didn't have to change much. The design and quality fit our needs perfectly!"
"I love the fact that i spent so long personalising my invitations and when they arrived at my door step, i could tell just as much care went into printing them. The paper is beautiful, the printing is superb. I paid for a few extras to enhance the colour and look of the paper and i'm glad i did. I have bought the whole suite. Loved every inch of it!"
"The customization of my invites and response cards took a little bit of time, but the design experts got back to me quickly and the process was fun and painless. I am very happy with my results. The paper quality was exactly what I wanted. I would suggest ordering samples before hand so you can get an idea of what paper you like best and to see what the invite with look like as well."

Guest Lists
Oneohtrix Point Never
By Daniel Lopatin, as told to Tyler Grisham , June 16, 2010
Photo by Nate Dorr
Welcome to the latest edition of Pitchfork's Guest List. Each week, we ask one of our favorite artists to fill us in on what they've been up to lately: which tracks they can't stop spinning, what books they can't put down, and what new bands they've caught on tour. This week it's Daniel Lopatin, aka Oneohtrix Point Never, who discusses Aronofsky soundtracks, IMAX concerts, and why noise dudes are like used-car salesmen.
Oneohtrix Point Never: Pitchfork Guest List Podcast (Oneohtrix Point Never)
Favorite New Songs From the Past Year
I'm really bad at song titles, but I've listened to How to Dress Well's MySpace page a lot recently, and I listen to White Car's MySpace. White Car's from Chicago.
Ariel Pink: "Fright Night", from the new record, is probably the one track I've been repeatedly listening to over the last couple months.
Favorite Older Songs at the Moment
Tricky: "Strugglin'"
Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works Volume II. My favorite track off of that is probably [disc one, track five] "Grass".
Kate Bush: "Mother Stands for Comfort"
Favorite New Artist
Right before I left for tour, I saw Laurel Halo play at NY Eye & Ear Fest and it was really good, so I've been trying to search around for more music by her. She's cool. It's really intricate, really ornate synth-pop, but it keeps changing a lot, and it's really against the fashionable thing of really, really stripped down Factory Records-style synth-pop. This is super over the top, almost proggy.
My Dream Collaboration
It'd probably be filmmakers-- Darren Aronofsky. I'd really want him to stick with the original plan of doing the next Robocop, and I'd score it. Whoever's doing the next Blade. Timbaland. I'd just like to play synths and have him cut it up and do cool stuff with it. Philip Jeck. William Basinski, although I don't think he ever collaborates with anyone. Maybe people that don't collaborate a lot. But, yeah. Mostly Aronofsky would the be ultimate dream come true.
I was always screwing around with music, but I really wanted to go to film school when I was in high school. I guess what happened was that I didn't get into Tisch, that's what happened. I got deferred. And I went to Hampsire and ended up making music like everybody else there. [laughs]
I don't think I could make a good film, but I could definitely score a good film.
Favorite Song of All Time
No, [I] definitely [can't pick one]. I don't mean to sound like a dick.
I realize that I've had Ian Van Dahl: "Castles in the Sky", the Ibiza jam, periodically stuck in my head for years, like years of my life. Every now and then "Castles in the Sky" will just happen. Maybe that's some sort of indication that it's actually my favorite song of all time.
Music is mostly ephemera for me so it's kind of about whatever's happening in realationship to the moment it's happening in. And I guess "Castles in the Sky" or the Beach Boys: "God Only Knows" could be somehow equivalent in the moment, if I'm really enjoying it. But I'm pretty transient about stuff like that, I tend to move on or forget about things I like.
Last Great Concert I Saw
I just got back from tour in Europe and I saw Wolf Eyes and Om and Acid Mothers Temple in Paris, and it wasn't very loud but everyone ripped.
It was part of this Villette Sonique festival, which is in the northern part of the city. There was a canal near there and park grounds. They played in this particularly strange circular bar-disco type thing. It looked like a total throwback to 1970s entertainment; it should have been a roller rink. Seeing Wolf Eyes in this gigantic room and not really loud was equal parts frustrating and fascinating. It was really awesome to hear the little details that were coming out of their set because it was so quiet.
Last Great Film I Saw
Basically I've been going through this period where I'm not watching good films, on purpose. I feel like a tired dad who comes home from work and is like, "I don't want to watch anything. I don't want to watch that art film. I want to watch whatever's on TV." So I've been watching all of these really least-common-denominator, 80s comedies on Netflix and falling asleep. So like Police Academy 5 or whatever.
I saw Shutter Island on a plane, and I thought it was solid. I wouldn't say it was great or anything. But it's not really a plane movie. [laughs] We had those personalized little screens, but then I was thinking, "I wonder who's sitting perpendicular to me. They can see my screen." I turn around and it was like an eight-year-old girl. I was like, god, if she's looking at the screen and seeing these frightening mental patients and stuff, it could be a really bad experience for her, 30,000 feet in the air.
Last Great Book I Read
Imaginary Magnitude by Stanislaw Lem, which is basically a collection of prefaces or introductions to books that don't exist, and it's really cool. They're really insane little pieces, and one of them is about an enclyclopedia that consists of predictions made by computers and he describes some kind of device that can update the text in the encyclopedia, so it's basically this guy prophesying the Internet.
Favorite Piece of Musical Equipment
It's probably my Juno-60 because I've had it for so long and it's really the main component of my live sound. It's my "Lucille," I guess. It was my dad's [a member of the Flying Dutchmen --Ed.], so he gave it to me and he bought it in 1983 or 84 when he was gigging in these Russian restaurants in Massachusetts. Eventually he stopped gigging and then I started screwing around with it and erased all his accordion and organ sounds, and he got really mad at me but realized that there wasn't much he could do about it and I've been playing it ever since.
Favorite Record Shop
Academy Records, because I live in New York and it's such a great spot. But I'm from Boston and there's amazing record stores there. There's Twisted, which is probably my favorite. And this isn't really a walk-in record store but Mimaroglu, the distro that Keith Fullerton Whitman runs, is unbelievable. And now there's Weirdo, right in Cambridge. But Academy is really the store I rely on for getting my record fix these days. I think the last thing I got there was either Frank Zappa: Jazz from Hell or Alice Coltrane: Universal Consciousness, but I can't remember.
First Record I Bought For Myself
Rush: Greatest Hits. There were a bunch of things I got around that time. Aerosmith: Permanent Vacation. Cream: Greatest Hits. They were all like so bad. I'm basically like a dad; I've always been a dad. A Living Colour tape that was tinted red on the outside. I seem to remember that. All kinds of really bad stuff.
Favorite City to Play In
Probably New York City just because the crowds are really diverse in terms of taste. It's like an iPod shuffle reality in New York where everyone's just in shuffle mode, and everybody seems pretty open to going to a show that generates a lot of variety in terms of the acts, and I really appreciate that. Otherwise it's really boring for me because I'm gigging with the same bands all the time and I'm seeing the same music all the time, and that's really lame. That's how it was in Boston. That said, Boston is probably my other favorite place to play because it's home and it just rules in terms of fan support. And London rules in terms of fan support too.
Favorite Venue
There was this place I played in Rotterdam called Worm, which was the craziest place I've ever played. If you can imagine MTV doing a "Real World" special about Alt people or Alt art culture, it would be at this venue. It's the weirdest place. It's designed by an architect who's into recycled material, so a ton of the interior is made with road signs. And then they have a little screening room with minivan chairs and a bar and the actual venue and a record store and an AV editing room for residencies and a modular synth lab.
It has everything and looks really nice and it's totally new. It's this weird utopia. If the government actually knew what we wanted they would come up with this weird idea, so that's why it's awkward for an American to be there, 'cause it's like too perfect. Playing there was such a thrill. I was running around to all of these little stations and hanging out. I would like, buy a t-shirt downstairs, have a coffee, have a beer, watch a movie. And I saw Lucky Dragons play there and they were really good; I'd never seen them before.
Best Thing You've Bought in the Past Year
Joel and I-- Joel plays in Games with me-- we live together and we just bought a TV so we could watch the NBA finals. I'm pretty stoked about that.
Best Thing You've Done At All This Year
I played at an IMAX theater in Paris at the same festival where Wolf Eyes and Om played, called La Géode. It's actually a geodesic dome, like Buckminster Fuller style. And they projected ocean life footage while I played so I don't know if I'm going to be able to top that for a while. It was really cool.
It was this totally darkened dome-- as if you're going to the movies-- and I'm on this little stage they set up and had this extremely bright spotlight on me and above me, and surrounding me, sort of hugging the stage, was this ocean life footage. So I kept looking up and looking back 'cause it was so fascinating and huge, and I kind of wanted to play off of it instead of playing my normal set. All these French people came up to me afterwards and they were like, "Very good set. Why were you looking at the film?" And I was like, "Why are you looking at me?" [laughs] 'Cause it was there.
My Dream Merch Table
I'm not really too much of a merch freak. I kind of came up in the noise scene, and one of my pet peeves was shitty noise bands that take up the whole merch table with 40 of their shithouse tape releases. And people buy these tapes in a cloud of confusion and embarrassment after the show 'cause they're standing in front of the table and they feel forced to buy something. And noise dudes don't like to admit it, but they're basically like used-car salesmen because they'll appeal to their fans in these weird ways-- they'll be like, "We made this tape while we were tripping on acid for 12 hours in the desert." And, to me, that sounds like a used-car salesman being like, "Let's talk about my family life 'cause it's so similar to yours." It's ultra capitalist and weird. So I'm actually really freaked by most merch tables.
I'd like to have OPN t-shirts at one point. But I'm not crazy about merch. People are always getting mad at me 'cause I don't bring merch, but it's out there to buy somewhere.
Strangest Display of Affection from a Fan
Luckily, I haven't gotten anything super weird. I did get something that was sweet. This woman who was a fifth-grade teacher played some of my music for her class during a freetime for the class to draw and make art. She brought some of the pictures to a show and gave them to me, which was one of the sweetest things I've ever gotten. It was weird, cause there were a bunch, like five or six, and two of them actually had moons or circular things in them, and I thought that was really amazing given the fact that there's a lot of use of repetition and looping in my music. Maybe it's total chance, but I thought that was really wonderful.
Favorite TV Show
On the one day off I had in London on the tour, I spent the whole day with my friend Hannah and she was like, "What do you want to do?" and I wanted to do absolutely nothing. So, we watched episodes of "Supernatural", probably seven or eight episodes. I got really into it. And for those of you who don't know, it's like a shithouse version of "the X-Files" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" wrapped into one. Obviously it's pretty bad, but there's like a ton of endearing things about it too. It's pretty stressful, too, it's kind of scary, very Poltergeist-y. So I just got really into that. Before that it was "Spartacus: Blood and Sand". So as you can see, I have really low standards for watching TV.
Favorite Video Game
I hadn't been playing video games recently, but last summer I was playing all of these Japanese shoot-em-up games that are really hectic and they're mostly for Saturn and Dreamcast. The Japenese call them manic shooters or bullet-hell games, and they're impossible to play. They're not meant to be beaten. Basically, it's like flying through a wall of fire. But it's really, really beautiful. So I was playing them just in a psychedelic way 'cause it was really beautiful to glide through these worlds. One was called Ikaruga.
Favorite Radio Show
Every Sunday at 10 p.m. on Houston KDXX there's this swishahouse show. Michael 5000 Watts does a swishahouse chopped and screwed show Sunday nights. The first half of it is all his swishahouse bros. It's a combination of the swishahouse dudes and whatever is really popular right now, like a Rihanna track-- he'll chop and screw it in the studio. And then the second half of the show, which is 11:30 or 12, is this segment called "Straight to the Room" which is all slow jams only, chopped and screwed. And he takes calls during that and it's always like somebody's girlfriend calling in and requesting a particular track for their boyfriend and it's really sexy and awesome.
My Ringtone
Right now it's nothing, but for a while it was Omar Souleyman: "Dabke 2001".
