  • io9 interview with Ken Macleod

    http://static.bloggingheads.tv/maulik/offsite/offsite_flvplayer.swf This is an interesting discussion, also given that I just finished reading the Cassini Divison from Macleod. It was a good, if a little short, novel on how fleshy humans cope after the technological singularity. A flashback character in Ken MacLeod’s 1998 novel The Cassini Division dismissively refers to the singularity as “the Rapture […]

  • R.I.P. ISIS — In the Absence Of Kings

    R.I.P. Isis | Music | Newswire | The A.V. Club. This is unfortunate news for rock music fans and anyone who kept track of ISIS, one of the most popular post-metal acts in our time. My first experience with ISIS was the album Oceanic, when I was in high school. Lot of the kids back […]

  • Badu, and to the Left: Erykah Badu’s Window Seat video.

    Dallas press is talking all about Erykah Badu’s  video for the single Window Seat this week. In the video, she strips down near Dealey plaza and depicts herself getting shot and falling on the same spot that JFK was assassinated.

  • The Problem With… Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” – Dallas Music – DC9 At Night

    The Problem With… Lady Gaga's "Telephone" – Dallas Music – DC9 At Night. This piece was a long time coming. I have a love/hate thing about Lady GaGa. I like the electroclash sound and visual aesthetic enough that I want it to have an audience as big as GaGa gave it. But I don't see […]
