One Super Important Question For Spekulation
Thursday, November 21, 2013 13:13 — 0 Comments
I’ve been seeing videos pop up all over Facebook (even one using the remix of a song I play on by my band The Great Um) involving the rapper/producer Spekulation and the UAI dance production, Enemy Within. So, to get some clarification of this cool project, I decided to ask Spek One Super Important Question.

What a wonderful whirl… My life. Right now: My apartment has been productivity central lately. My roommate and I have yet to get a couch down here in Austin and, as amazing as it is to sprawl across the living room floor for a hearty full-body stretch after our 5-hour dance rehearsals, somehow the floor is less welcoming for 8+ hour computer work sessions. And, well, I can’t tell you the number of unintentional shavasanas I’ve found myself in when trying to do computer work in bed. Bad news for my to-do lists.

One morning I was cruising Facebook and saw a post from Ahamefule J. Oluo saying, “I just want to say. The new [Industrial Revelation] album comes out next month… We put out one track, people didn’t seem to notice, we will put out another track and it may go unnoticed but it doesn’t change the fact that we are the best band in Seattle and if you disagree, come to a show and then reconsider.â€Â

One Super Important Question For McTuff

If on a Tuesday evening you find yourself with nothing exciting to do, you might hear yourself thinking, “I remember people talking about the Seamonster Lounge and that band McTuff – maybe I should go there.†If, as it happens, you decide to get on a bus, call a taxi/uber/pink mustache/orange flag/horse and buggy, walk or drive to the Seamonster on a Tuesday night, say, around midnight, you will see, in the back right corner of the shotgun-style bar a trio of musicians: Joe Doria on keys, Andy Coe on guitar and Tarik Abouzied on drums.

Cost Cuts – Peter Brav

The executive’s name was Tim Riley and he had been at Fox Sports from the beginning, rising through the ranks, crushing subordinates and superiors alike, until he was making a lot more dough than the idiots hitting baseballs 500 feet and knocking down 25-footers with regularity. And that was the problem, they were idiots, fixed costs, crushing expenses that ate into league profits grilled from ten-dollar hot dogs and indirectly the advertising profits of his own beloved network.
The answer isn't poetry, but rather language
