    Adventures in Electronic Music

    Beeps, Bloops, and Klangs: 1974–1982 by Charles Petzold

    http://www.charlespetzold.com/etc/AdventuresInElectronicMusic/

    Early Microsoft Engineer Charles Petzold remisises about the early Analog days of Electronic music

    “ This is the story of how I eventually built my own electronic music instruments while teaching myself digital electronics, computer hardware, and assembly language programming. Roughly between the mid-1970s and the mid-1980s, this hobby (and it was never really more than a hobby) led directly to my being able to write assembly language programs for the IBM PC in the early 1980s, which led to my career at PC Magazine beginning in 1984, which led to the rest of my career. This hobby also gave me the background knowledge and understanding to write the book Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software (1999). “

    Mac DeMarco -Treat Her Better

    from Mac's new album Salad Days!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCA7Rq0EBU4&spfreload=1

    Hey man, heard you were your brother’s keeper
    That can’t be, judging by the way you treat her

    Oh no, you’ve done it again
    No use when you already know how it ends

    Treat her better, boy
    If having her at your side’s something you enjoy
    If having her in your life’s really so important to you now

    Hey man, who’s been keeping brother
    Hey man, how old is your mother

    Oh no, you’ve done it again
    No use when you already know how it ends

    Treat her better, boy
    If having her at your side’s something you enjoy
    If having her in your life’s really so important to you now [x2]

    [Guitar solo]

    Treat her better, boy
    If having her at your side’s something you enjoy
    If having her in your life’s really so important to you now [x2]

    Good heart and desire to please.

    Every issue of OZ, London’s legendary psychedelic newspaper, is available online

    We all owe the University of Wollongong a great debt, because they are hosting the only repository on the internet that features every single page of OZ, the influential psychedelic underground newspaper that was published in London between 1967 and 1973 after several years of an Australian version that was equally mind-blowing. The newspaper featured an impressive roster of contributors, including Germaine Greer, Lillian Roxon, Barney Bubbles, David Widgery, Clive James, Edward de Bono, Richard Meltzer, Clay Wilson, Colin MacInnes, Anthony Haden-Guest, and Raymond Durgnat. Interview subjects included Pete Townshend, Timothy Leary, Jimmy Page, and Andy Warhol. OZ magazine was edited by Richard Neville. Both in Australia and in the UK, OZ had to weather several serious legal challenges over obscenity. The May 1970 issue was called the “Schoolkids” issue; it featured a filthy comic strip in which Vivian Berger adapted a R. Crumb cartoon to place the beloved Rupert Bear cartoon character in an explicitly sexual situation (PDF link here). They were defended in court by John Mortimer, later the author of the highly successful “Rumpole” series of British legal novels. A few years earlier Mortimer had defended Hubert Selby for the Last Exit in Brooklyn trial, and in 1977 Mortimer also...

    Young voters are failing Bernie Sanders, just as they’ve failed so many before

    This is why campaigns that rely on the youth vote often fail.

    https://www.facebook.com/philip.bump

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/22/younger-votes-didnt-come-through-for-bernie-sanders-because-they-almost-never-do/

    Unfortunately the numbers don’t lie, youth voter turn out is down since 2008. Young voters support Bernie Sanders in overwhelming numbers, 86-14 in New Hampshire. That is massive, even better than Obama. Still, we NEED TO VOTE. We NEED to stay ACTIVE and involved! This political revolution is to make OUR country a better place, we need to quit letting 65 year old voters decide the future of our country. PLEASE REGISTER TO VOTE IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY! BERNIE SANDERS 2016! 

    REGISTER RIGHT HERE, DO IT TODAY, RIGHT NOW, DO NOT WAIT!

    I just registered, it took 5 minutes. All you need is a driver’s license or ID. I don’t like politics on my dash, but I’m reblogging this because no matter who you support, you should register to vote, and this post has a link that makes it very easy to get started.
