Well, we all kept or grandfathered unlimited data plan from AT&T although up until now we never used it. Until now that is. (e:matthew) finally crossed over into the almost 8GB range for monthy broadband usage. I think the faster the phone, the nice the screen the more you use.

I am trying to at least play pandora more to get my money's worth. I barely ever use 1GB and I never even turn wifi on.

I saw the tortoise we freaking out as his face was covered with flies. Turns out the flies were there because the stupid tortoise went to town on some wild cat diarrhea. He stank so bad that even after I hosed him down he was covered in flies. I hate cats. I wish they would all die.

I don't understand why he likes cat poop so much. Its not like cats have any bit similar diet. Right now he is on his way back hunting for more.

Although I am not a huge fan of dubstep, Skrillex's set was pretty awesome.


I found another skrillex video in 1080HD


His new track released at WEMF


Andy C - definitely my favorite DJ ever. Someone uploaded 19 minutes of HD video. Its really impossible to tell what the music sounded like in the video. In fact it sounds like just a mess of noise but in reality it all was very cohesive, just the baseline is pretty impossible to pick up in a video.


Andy C part 2


On friday night I really had fun listening to friction but I swear he played the Andy C set from a 1995 Syrous show in its entirety. According to the WEMF site, "As a teenager Friction was busy playing and promoting events in Brighton when he began collaborating with local producers Stakka & K-Tee who were heavily involved in Andy C’s Ram Records label. " So maybe he made the music in the first place.

Jungle Sounds - this set was really fun to dance to. I love that the person who recorded this, recorded it upside down.


Calvin Harris on another stage








And finally my own video of (e:terry) dancing at wemf 2011. I just wish I had a better recording device than my 2 year old phone.



We totally missed Killabits because we had to run back to the tent to save our phones from the downpour.

I swear whenever I tell this story I feel like people think I am exaggerating but at Destiny 10 in 1995 - the start of Destiny's 3-day music festivals there was a tornado. We were in our tent and it lifted up and flew into a van nearby. It was full on scary.

July 14, 15, 16 - 1995 - First Annual World Trance Festival

Now referred to as "The Tornado Rave", the first Destiny 3 day event was held at Mosport Racetrack and was tested with a small Tornado on the Friday night that brought down the soundsystems and literately sent ravers flying.
The sound was put back together to form one stage and the party continued the rest of the weekend. !

I stole there ticket image from the toronto jungle site.


Wow, times have changed what cost $45 then cost $175 now. granted the talent is bigger and the setup is much more elaborate.

I can't even believe this is real. There is now a 9PM curfew in Philladelphia for teens under age 18 after a series of violent and crime driven flashmobs fueled by social media?!!

Part of me wants to side with it being ridiculous to force curfews on all teens because of some bad ones and to blame the media for sensationalizing this as flashmobs when really its just organized crime. I mean I used to hate it when the police would harass us for being outside at night when we were teens. On the other hand, we didn't rob stores, well at least not as an organized mobs - we may have mis-weighed bulk food a little here or there.

All joking aside, the media is making this seem slightly terrifying. Its hard to tell what's real and what's not as you can cut facts and video any way you want. I wish I knew someone there.






Here is some actual footage from that. While it looks like a robbery, it doesn't look particularly violent


Yet, the mayor seems to believe it now.


Here are some mobile videos from the evening that seem to be a little more balanced. Strangely, there is barely anything violent in the video which makes me question if the media is sensationalizing the issue. You could easily recut these into a news story that was totally against excessive police force. It just depends how you want to spin it.

Part 1 - I love the long haired white kid at 8:00 who sings about the police treating people like shit.


Part 2


Part 3


Part 4


Here it is cut up to make those video's seem way more crazy violent on Fox News.



At the end of vide one some surely white guy comments and says "Show me one video of a white flash mob" The thing is there are hundreds if not thousands of them but they are dancing. I hope the action here and in Britain doesn't replace the term flash mob in our cultural vocabulary to mean some scary and violent.

This korean news is hillarious, holy crap
