June 12






Sketching
Sketching/drawing/doodling I've found is a great way to relax and let ideas flow. I usually don't have any definite plan of what I want to draw. Just put the pencil to the paper and let my imagination go.




Love Marshall McLuhan's writing!

McLuhan Speaking in NYC

All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the massage.

"Ben Weinman Interview
EM interviews guitarist Ben Weinman of the The Dillinger Escape Plan at the recent Reason Producers Conference. He talks about how he incorporates electronic elements from Reason into his band's "mathcore" music, and he plays recorded examples for the crowd at the conference."
See the interview here

Looking forward to the next issue and the Jon Hassell (trumpet, electronic music) interview.

Email
Got this interesting little email from my uncle this morning. An interesting way of looking at Gen Y.....

The Silent Generation are people born before 1946.
- The Baby Boomers are people born between 1946 and 1959.
- Generation X are people born between 1960 and 1979.
- Generation Y are people born between 1980 and 1995..
Why do we call the last one generation Y?
I did not know, but a cartoonist explains it eloquently below...Learned something new today!
