iPad = iBad

When I started hearing the rumors about the iPad I thought "sick, a no keyboard touch screen computer." You know like apple's answer to those HP touch screen desktops but in a portable form. Instead they gave us an oversized iPod touch with the same bullshit, att restrictions. It has photos; but no usb port to plug in a camera. It has the internet; but no flash support. Personally, I think this thing is gonna fall flat on its face. and oooh, there's digital books now. Why do I get the feeling those are gonna be as over priced as 99cent songs. Steve, you're blowing it. -cs

I've been both excited and disappointed with Obama. Its been a year since Bush left and the country is still shit. I guess it takes a lot more work to fix problems than create them. Regardless of how you see the views, you've gotta give the President credit for putting himself in front of the house republicans and letting them ask whatever they want. He takes responsibility for mishaps, and deflects the lies with that sleek tongue that got him elected. It feels good to have a guy in office that is at least thinking through this shit.

Fixed gears and catchy electro riffs. Bike culture is huge here in Denmark, they've got these six inch wide ramps on all the stairs so you can ride down them, and their bike lanes are like secondary sidewalks (with curbs) in between the sidewalk and the road. Anyways on that note, I though this video would be rather fitting, or fixing I should say. -cs

HELSINKI 78-82 - CRUISING from Top Billin on Vimeo.

video – helsinki 78-82 ‘cruising’

"from the top billin club house is the helsinki 78-82 project from team-bros flipper and koobra, a starship sorta jam with help from fellow label-ees villa nah" - I'm too lazy to say it a different way. Yes, this description is ripped straight from stoneyroads.com

this track reminds me of warm summers and tequilla by the pool. None of which is remotely close to the snow on the ground here in Aarhus.

Here's a new video I edited up for the Tenderlions from a show they played with Simian Mobile Disco at Mezzanine in San Francisco a little while back. It was an epic night.

So four days into my adventures in Denmark and I got a gig at the Studenterhus in downtown Aarhus. The place is ran by students, for students, so the drinks are affordable. It was an amazing drunken blur, but apparently I did alright cause' they've asked me back for a Carnival Fest on February 16th. Every tuesday is international night so the crowd will be wonderfully diverse. This is gonna get crazy. Come join in the mayhem with us.

unfortunately I've got no pictures for everyone cause' I don't have right right chord for my new camera. Soon though. In the meantime, check out the studenterhus website here. I wanna give a special thanks to Mads and everyone there for being so accommodating.

Here's a link to download my Classic Mash Up mix. Cheers. -cs
