Check out this video where techno-god Richie Hawtin talks through his latest DJ set up. Vinyl and CD’s have made way for a four track digital only set up. It takes a bit of patience (12 mins), but then you can mix like Richie.. If you get the equipment that is.

Retro-Thing, spotters of all sorts of gorgeous antediluvian electronica, found this wonderful Sharp MR-990 boom box up on eBay. No mere ghetto blaster, this: the usual accoutrements like dual cassette bays, detachable stereo speakers, AM & FM and a five-band EQ pale compared to its built-in mini organ electronic synthesizer. It’ll cost you: $299.00 starting bid with an astonishing $152 shipping surcharge. Enough to wipe out the moist, wadded prize pot of even the most high profile breakdancing competition.

Japanese food is famously colorful, and people often pack creative, artful lunches for their kids and spouses. The Jacket Lunch Box blog belongs to a designer/DJ/food enthusiast who likes to make American album covers out of food. Here’s a replica of Public Enemy’s Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age, made of seaweed, fish cakes, sour plum, and rice. Weezer’s Green Album is made with cabbage, seaweed, ham, fish cakes, paprika, and rice.

Instead of going through the appropriate channels, John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin have been getting a flurry of cease-and-desist orders from all the musicians whose music they’ve been stealing. Van Halen, Jackson Brown, John Mellencamp & Heart have all requested their music not be represented by the campaign. Meanwhile, Democratic nominees Barack Obama and Joe Biden, seem to have an endless roster of musicians on their side.
