    I read that last year. Consider the book as more of an oral history, towards the left and the social aspect of history, a lot more towards an alternative view to what happened in history shown through the eyes of the everyday man. You should counterpoint the book with a more traditional political and economic approach to US history after that. The real history is more somewhere in-between.

    Because books always come in two (p.s.: Didn't like Hyperion, I never engaged into half of the stories, but the other halfs were goddamn great! bought the second book, not sure I'll ever read it).
  3. Anyone of you care to say what was you trying to achieve in 1995 with that Plaid/Autechre set? [youtubehd]9_yoHHdBE1Q[/youtubehd]
  4. That's what some people have said about Fol3 to be fair :) haha shit man you're right oh well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuaXqa660KI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J2gv80ttK8 Why is the first link Amon Tobin's ISAM?
  5. I see you guys mention Jerry Goldsmith, always thought the mid80's sound of his Yamaha DX-7 (that and the dozens of other synths he used throughout his career) was way before it's time. Stuff like Legend or Total Recall or Hoosiers, Damnation Alley or the awesome stuff on Star Trek : The Motion Picture.
  6. Next time you do a gig in Montreal, please put a snippet of Montreal into the set!!
  7. iRacing has just released their laser-scanned Bathurst, and it's an amazing experience for the #1 racing sim in existence. It's the perfect race track. [youtubehd]EhLI2xuK1Xk[/youtubehd]
  8. Have you ever wished trying to compose a piece with anything other than electronic instruments? Say, a choral-only work, or using a classical ensemble, piano, jazz trio, a single string instrument, anything?
  9. A lot of artist turn "mellow" with the years, going into dad-rock and stuff like that. Others create their best work as they age (architects, classical music composers, etc...). After all these years, what are your plans for the future? Is the duo something you would like to continue for another 25 years?

    You'll probably have no choice but to read the book with Nicholas Cage as the protagonist. Which is LOL

    I was told Hyperion can be read as a stand-alone, and if necessary you can jump into the whole shebang and read all the rest? I'm holding on it as a stand-alone novel, in a sense that I have so much other stuff to read.

    that autobiography is a true motherfucker
  16. I would need a couple of 160GB ipods to fill in all my music. This ain't 2005, 128kbps is not used anymore, so cloud on-demand is the future. Just a shame that iCloud is 5GB free, but it's way too much expensive after that (100$/year for 50GB LOL)..
  17. You can technically do this in 3g environment if all your music is in the cloud.
  18. I bought this : Just a month before the first iPod. I worked all summer long to get it.

    The entire Tintin collection is a must for anybody.
  21. Good guy cop is probably saying to himself during all that : "What a bunch of douchebags".

    I really like how he turns the year 2001 into some sort of weird "historical" era. Man it feels like only 10 years ago, but everybody is saying his writing makes it look like it,s from a far distant past, which is probably true.
  23. Racing is really fun with the Rift. Dirt 3 is my racing games of choice for it. Even with the low resolution Dkit Oculus Rift, I can't play PC games on a monitor or even a 50" TV. Just doesn't seem right not having head tracking and the immersive inside the game greatness. The consumer version might be even higher resolution than 1080, and with positonal tracking. It's going to be so addictingly intense. I really should try to finish a lot of projects before it comes out, knowing how fun this early development kit already is. Oh exactly. Racing sims with 3 monitors, or even worse one single, is completely out-of-date. This is a complete game changer, with 3d stereoscopic and head movement. I guess it would be the same for flight sims, it makes monitors a thing of the pass. And we're talking about the low-res prototype, not even the final consumer version (at least 1080p!). Yes it makes you look like the fucking Lawnmower man, but it's probably the biggest jump in technology since the steering wheel for racing games. I mean ffs!
