DickyDawkins

Richard Dawkins came yesterday to give a lecture at USC. I didn't get a chance to ask a question, but after thinking some, this is what I'd've like to've asked him:

I think you and I would both agree that evangelical fundamental religious faith is harmful to society in breeding intolerance and even hostility towards those who don't follow those same fundamental religious laws. Can you please tell me how your fundamental evangelical atheism is any less harmful to society in breeding intolerance and hostility towards those with any religious or spiritual faith?

any readers who didn't already know:

I've been elected to the position of WUSC's official Fall/Spring '09/'10 MUSIC DIRECTOR!!

along with John

we'll be sharing the duties.

the job comes with a bit of a history of one person doing a whole lot more than the other, but i am hoping that will NOT be the case with he and i. to celebrate the win, i grabbed 14 CD's from the music office yesterday and am in the process of reviewing them right now.

the best of bdp (this semester (so far))

i think after two fund raiser shows this year dedicated to folk music, each garnering no donations, i have concluded that people in columbia don't like hearing folk on the radio

well don't worry, there's plenty of remixed elctrnk indie pop and poptastic punk specialty shows dedicated to free format to go around these days

i'd already decided this before today, but i don't believe i'm doing another specialty show next semester

much more likely will be the return of what's cookin'

anyway~

this was my "best of" show playlist and i thought it was pretty damn bangar—

RIP! A Remix Manifesto

so this whole blog-0-theque culture of electroXcore indie p0p getting remixed the nth power has been trying my nerves, but this film is actually pretty inspired
i saw this while in montréal fo' free, and felt special, before realizing that it's available in its entirety online at: http://opensourcecinema.org/project/rip-remix-manifesto
well! maybe not completely in its entirety
because
it's actually been available there for a long while, since before the film's release, calling on digitally savvy children of the web2.0 to remix this stuff
some of the remixed segments were definitely included in the film's final release, but the film sans remix'd portions is all available there
i think you have to make a username&password to watch it, not sure
but it's free and quick and easy anyways
enlighten yaselves
copywrite drm shit culture extends beyond the world of music or even art
