That looks so much better than what I’m looking at right now:

I love the NPR Music Listeners Top 100 List for 2011, however, I do love Deadmau5. Kind of sad he didn’t even make the list.
Whether you’re having turkey, turducken, tofurkey or fish tacos, Thanksgiving is about family, food and the soul-deadening stress of logistics. So here’s a mix designed to help you keep your mind on the bonding-fueled feast that justifies it all.
EVERYBODY WATCH THIS. This is beautiful.

I go to a lot of shows. It wouldn’t be crazy to say I’ve seen parts of at least 250 shows this year in venues ranging from parking lots to art museums, nightclubs to arenas. One trend is overwhelming: volume is increasing everywhere. It’s so noticeable that I’ve started to wear earplugs.
I hate earplugs. Earplugs dull the sound. Some work better than others, but I still hate them. Still, they feel like a necessary evil in the face of increasing volume, ironically meant to make the sound of live music better. Truth be told, a safe loud volume serves a better purpose than a painful volume that forces me to wear earplugs.
I’m not trying to kill the fun. I’m not being old. Sound systems are better than ever, so live sound today is louder, and electronic instruments have a purer sound that is more piercing and stunning, than ever.
Join us next Friday for drinks and bookish fun as we launch our new book at Land in Portland, Oregon!
