People say that if you write down your goals, tell them to your friends, etc. you're more likely to realize them. Here 'goes. No particular order, I'd like to have done these things in the first year of 2010.

• Make enough money from something that I created to pay rent
• Visit South America
• Launch BangSlate publicly
• Every week, watch a movie I haven't seen
• Get a big-girl job (or be totally okay without one)
• See Chocolate Blood get over 5k monthly viewers, turn a profit
• Produce a disco track, be blogged about it
• Travel as a DJ
• Develop a well-rounded photography portfolio

So I've decided to focus my music blogging on ChocolateBlood.com. Matt and I figure some regular new content on the site will keep it fresh. This place will now be where I put other things from my life :)

My dear friend (and much better beat-matcher than I), Matt and I are starting a San Francisco dj business. I helped play at a Laughing Squid hoiday party on Saturday, where, while I probably played a little too much disco (suprise), I also didn't get any spider eyes shot at me from across the room, so perhaps this thing's got a chance.

Eli Escobar, you know, that guy that co-remixed that weird Britney Spears song (and who has a pretty cool blog btw) stamps his remixes with airy, high-low down beats. I really like this song.

Ali Love - Diminishing Returns (Eli Escobar Remix)

Hercules and Love Affair's 2008 record was a serious sack-of-anthems for me and greatly contributed to my developing a Zeno's paradox between me and disco. I'm Achilles. No, I'm probably the tortoise.

Hercules and Love Affair - I Can't Wait (In Flagranti Remix)

I wrote you off. Hard, shamelessly, and willingly.

I'm not sure why; I adore the Smiths. Even my favorite Smiths record (right now) is Strangeways Here We Come, which is pretty much the Steven Patrick show anyway. Perhaps it's because I've had all four on the floor nearly exclusively since sometime in '07 and since then been slowly replacing stuff that I couldn't dance to on my pittifully scarce hard drive. 

I heard You Are The Quarry in highschool back when I'd consume just about anything that garnered the pitchfork spotlight for one reason or another. Eh, not for me, or at least not for the me I was at 15.

Anyway, yesterday, my good golspel-spreading coworder Ron shared with me three records which he thought would be good lumping points from which I can leap. And I'm in. And that is all.

Morrissey - The More You Ignor Me, The Closer I Get

New York on the Clock is an excellent public access show that showcases interesting people in NYC and this week they spotlighted Vivian Host who is part of Brooklyn dub/bass/hip hop/dark tech crew Trouble and Bass with Drop the Lime.

Great piece :) I love PBS

I'm interning at Revision3, and for a certain project I'm occupied in, I'm combing the interwebs for pretty, animated shorts. Here are a couple cool ones that I've found today.

I'm almost certain that if Bette Davis were around today, she'd be into the perfectly-arp'ed and mellow regular beats of Fred Falke's remixes, though I can't see any student of John Murray Anderson dancing disco for the sake of disco.

Music Go Music is a cool pop outfit on Secretly Canadian with an album out earlier this season that's decent enough without the Falke touch. This track just hit the 'sphere and it's an 8-minute-plus playground for roland TR beats and classic trotting synths. 

Music Go Music - Warm in the Shadows (Fred Falke Remix)

It's probs way too late to write a Hot Chip post now, but when I first came accross this little bijou, I couldn't stop listening to it. It's still great.

Hot Chip - Colours (Fred Falke Remix)

For a while there, you'd type in "little" into the youtube searchbox, and the machine would auto-fill in titles for videos from this English electro-pop vixen. This time Falke brings in some more of his french house infusion and creates one of the perfect car-ride-home-from-the-discoteque tunes.

Little Boots - New in Town (Fred Falke Remix Vocal)

Embrace by Pnau was one of those songs that I heard everywhere and kinda hated each time. Falke to the rescue (at least for my 125 bmp lovin ears). He loops in ABBA'y electro group from down under to dream it out. I don't know who's creation the badass 4-dimentional bassline is, but it's great.

Embrace ft. Ladyhawke (Fred Falke & Miami Horror Remix)

and I'm afraid I don't have a harbor, nor am I aware of it's location
