I like electronic music. That’s a very superhero-ey thing to like, I suppose, isn’t it? I like avant-garde music in general. Cage, Stockhausen, Penderecki, Andrew Lang, Pierre Henry. Terry Riley is very good. Oh, and I’ve heard some interesting new music from Jamaica…a sort of hybrid between electronic music and reggae. It’s a fascinating study in the new musical forms generated when a largely pre-technological culture is given access to modern recording techniques without the technological preconceptions that we’ve allowed to accumulate, limiting our vision. It’s called dub music. – Adrian Veidt aka Ozymandias
Nerd out with me for a second: I finished reading Watchmen a hot minute ago and it gave me the perfect excuse to throw together some super electronic jams and kick off this week’s end. Boys Noize will be playing at The Mighty in San Francisco on Saturday. I’ll be there. You should come. We can bust out some (polite) superhero dance moves.

Psychedelics can be a touchy subject for some so I won’t carry on with this, but considering the weather and how energizing this summer was (it’s fall now, i think) it’s pretty tough to currently reject the idea of taking a brief nutrition from reality. In honor of our last playlist which was a compilation of weed summer jamz I have a ‘working your way towards psychedelics’ mix for ya called this is how we trip. No confusion, this is not intended to be a playlist to listen to while you trip as it’s way too self-aware but in the most appropriate manner I hope that it serves to get you in the mood. When you do get there, just make sure to have some vinyl or albums that you love to listen to all the way through prepped for action.
Safe and happy travels…
