whats yer favorite spot
hmm... internet-wise I guess it would be nytimes.com, salon.com, indymedia.org (I'm big on following the news). there's also http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html (Astronomy Picture of the Day), piratetv.net, dublab.com, metempsychosis.com, k10k.net, nasa.gov, fuckedcompany.com, 2600.net... and the list could go on and on. actual places to hang? well, I spend most of my time in front of computers and turntables... that's probably my favorite spot. I need a desk for my computer though. it's on top of some stacked boxes at the moment.
what is beats in space
it's a radio show here in new york.... an eclectic mix of music with lots of spoken word samples and scratchin'. most of the music is pretty breakbeat influenced. lots of hip hop, downtempo beats, weird electronic stuff, afrobeat, nu jazz/broken beat, drum and bass, and anything else I'm feeling. I really like mixing in unexpected records like Prince, U2, Hendrix, or something like that into the sets and making it work. Doing that kind of stuff makes it a lot of fun for me. in general, the show is pretty influenced by Coldcut's "Solid Steel."
how did beats in space get goin on
I knew NYU had a radio station 'cause I played on the BPM show (thursday nights 10:30pm to 1am on the FM station) twice during the summer before my senior year of high school(1998). once I knew I was going to NYU, I emailed the AM directors (just looked at www.wnyu.org), and did an air check tape.... and I started right when i got there. now, after two years on the AM, I'm stepping up to the FM station and taking over the timeslot I first played in three years ago. (I actually just found out about this two weeks ago.... it's pretty exciting) It's great though, I'll be broadcasting to manhattan, the bronx, queens, brooklyn, northern new jersey and even up to conneticut. it's gonna be a lot of fun. oh yeah, heh, I guess it would probably help to give out the station's frequency.... 89.1 FM
do u use rockets or really big trees to get the beats in space
nanotechnology... I can't tell you anymore than that 'cause the government's not too keen on it.
do u like the story of jack and the beanstalk? discuss
it's ok. I like the adventures of the starship Enterprise better though.... make that "Enterprise NCC-1701-D." I liked the Next Generation's adventures a lot more than the original crew(but they were still cool too).
nyc: paint the town red or nyc: the big apple
nothing reminds me of an apple here, so I'm gonna have to go with paint the town red. I like apple's though. one of my favorite fruits.
describe your roommate in the worst way possible
haha... I don't think I wanna get into that one.
describe your school in the best way possible
hmm... it's in nyc. yeah, I guess that doesn't say anything too great about the school... but still, nyc... I'm studying music technology here, so being in the city really helps to experience things first hand.
if u had to fast till the war was over (ie ghandis) what music would u listen to
Coldcut's "Journey's By DJ" mix CD, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Reich, Miles Davis, James Brown, Augustus Pablo and Fela Kuti.... plus some Tom Ze, Native Tongues, Dr. John, Wayne Shorter, Os Mutantes, and Sun Ra (for some real space music). I've also been getting into lots of Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and Eno.
have u ever eaten a whale, whole? if so, discuss. if not, eat one, then discuss.
yes. it was quite good. a bit rubbery, but good.
whos the doo doo man
I don't know... who is the doo doo man, mikro?
crayon, rayon, spray-on viagra, mardi gras, christina aguelera, alero, camero, metro card, or vinyl
vinyl would be the easy choice, but I don't wanna do that. I like the metrocard. it makes it easy to get around in new york. it's fun riding on the subways, you always see lots of interesting stuff. Different kinds of musicians, crazy people, and just lots of unexpected stuff happens.
does rain fall to the ground or does the ground rise to the rain
rain falls... but if there's an earthquake while it's raining, it could be called the ground rising to the rain.
