		<title>Ceremony</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It could have been a complete trainwreck. The stereotypical washed-up rocker cashing in on his glory days, trampling on his legacy in exchange for that badly needed check. Most times, that&#8217;s how these nostalgia tours wind up, and all the warning signs were there. Only one original member in the band? With his son filling in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Performances&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a couple of performances coming up that are a bit out of the ordinary for me. First off, this Wednesday, Sept. 1, is the Show &#38; Tell Regulators&#8217; All Vinyl Extravaganza, where Timm and I will be reviving our ridiculous tandem DJ project, the infamous Car Stereo Destroys Michael Bolton Tape. Expect odd [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holy Zola</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was lucky enough to get in to this year&#8217;s Capitol Hill Block Party for free for a few hours, thanks to a friend&#8217;s unexpected +1 pass. The lineup wasn&#8217;t good enough to justify paying for a ticket, but I&#8217;ll happily show up to just about anything for free, cheapskate that I am. Sadly, Blonde [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not a Bad Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So tonight, I had some delicious homemade enchiladas, drank a couple of beers, watched some of the new season of Project Runway, and ate some amazing gelato. Pretty fun times, all around. Oh, and in between doing all of that, the fledgling little record label that I co-founded put out our 7th official release, an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Scott!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What better way to break a months-long unintentional blogging hiatus than a few quick, spoiler-free thoughts on the film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim? So for starters, as we&#8217;ve been repeatedly warned, it is different from the books. Significantly different? Maybe in some ways. The plot is pretty condensed, eliminating a lot of side stories and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arrivals &amp; Departures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I know, I never update this site&#8230;.and yes, I know I keep promising to. Well, I may soon. No promises. Until then, heres what&#8217;s been keeping me so busy: my debut full length as Miniature Airlines. Go download it! It&#8217;s free, and it&#8217;s good (at least I hope it is).]]></description>

		<title>Last Minute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why yes, I have been a shitty blogger lately, thank you for noticing! I&#8217;ve let this hypertext field lie fallow for months now, and for that I apologize. I will do my best to make amends, and coax this tender earth to bring forth new shoots of content for the nourishment and enjoyment of all. But [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decimated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I&#8217;ve moved to Seattle, there&#8217;s one event that is invariably one of the highlights of my year, and that&#8217;s Decibel Festival. The 4-day electronic music and media festival brings artists and fans from around the world to the city of Seattle, for a weekend filled with music that pushes boundaries, rewires brains, and shakes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loopy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching a little bit of the first season of The West Wingon DVD recently, and while it&#8217;s an enjoyable show, there&#8217;s something about the idealism of it all that prevents me from really loving it. The show is witty, fast-paced, and compelling, but it&#8217;s run through with a streak of sunny moderate optimism [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jega @ Oscillate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IDM doesn&#8217;t have the clout it used to. Once a nexus a of innovation, it seems to have been eclipsed by newer styles in the hearts of many electronic music enthusiasts. The revival of disco-derived styles and their crossover into indie/pop consciousness, and the spread of UK bass music (dubstep, etc.) have left little room for [...]]]></description>
