The Juan MacLean & Field Tour

April 18th, 2009 | No Comments

The Juan MacLean and The Field co-headlining a full LIVE band U.S. Tour

Welcome back intelligent dance music, we’ve missed you. – Music OMH, February 2009

The Juan MacLean

After releasing the much anticipated The Future Will Come (due 4/21 on DFA Records), Juan MacLean and Nancy Whang take The Juan MacLean on the road this spring. Juan, Nancy and band will be playing tracks live from The Future Will Come, which Filter magazine described as “perfectly orchestrated and directed to achieve maximum mood and dance-ability.” If the weather doesn’t make you sweat, your dance moves will.

The Juan MacLean is co-headlining the tour with Stockholm’s Axel Willner, aka The Field (Kompakt). After breaking out of the “boy and his laptop” mold following a tour with !!!, Willner teamed up with friends – percussionist/bass player Dan Enqvist and multi-instrumentalist Andreas Söderstrom to see what they could accomplish playing together. Modernizing their kraut rock influences, The Field recorded Yesterday & Today, due out May 19 on Anti- Records.

Co-sponsored by Scion and Nooka Toys, this is one dance party you do not want to miss.
Speaking of Nooka Toys, The Juan MacLean will have their very own Nooka Nooka Toy designed by Mike Vadino, who also designed the album cover for The Future Will Come.

Tea Party movement

April 13th, 2009 | No Comments

The Tea Party movement began last year as a series of grassroots protests against perceived overspending in Washington and it’s still going strong. It now consists of hundreds of loosely linked groups across the country.

 

Where do you think the party is headed, and what do you think its role in American politics should be? Do you consider yourself part of the Tea Party? Put yourself on video and send us your thoughts. Or send us your photos and video if you’re at a Tea Party rally or event.

Tea Party movement

April 13th, 2009 | No Comments

The Tea Party movement began last year as a series of grassroots protests against perceived overspending in Washington and it’s still going strong. It now consists of hundreds of loosely linked groups across the country.

With recent victories by Tea Party-backed candidates in primaries (some of whom, like Delaware Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell, have been rejected by the Republican establishment), the groups face their biggest political test in November.

What do you think the Tea Party’s success means, and can it be sustained long term? Do you consider yourself part of the Tea Party? Put yourself on video and send us your thoughts. Or send us your photos and video if you’re at a Tea Party rally or event.

Why local-news aggregation is useful information, not information overload

January 26th, 2009 | No Comments

My post on the Washington state linking project focused on the awesome innovation involved and on the benefits of collaborative linking in general. But the project also shows why this kind of news aggregation is so useful for a local audience.
The biggest danger with news aggregation is that instead of acting as a filter, it [...]

On Inauguration Day, will my cell phone work?

I am one of the 240,000 people with free tickets attending President-elect Barack Obama’s swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the U.S. Capitol next week.

Networked link journalism: A revolution quietly begins in Washington state

January 9th, 2009 | No Comments

The discussion about journalism’s future so often focuses on Big Changes — Kill the print edition! Flips for everyone! Reinvent business models NOW! — that it’s easy to forget how simple innovation can be.
Sometimes all you need is a few Tweets, a bunch of links, and some like-minded pioneers.
That’s how a quiet revolution began in [...]

Nervous About Link Journalism? Ignore Web’s ‘Cesspool’ And Tap Its ‘Natural Spring’

October 13th, 2008 | No Comments

There are several reasons why most mainstream news organizations have been slow to embrace link journalism.
First, news orgs typically act as though other news orgs don’t exist (blame long-standing notions of “owning” the news, and more recent unjustified fears of sending readers away). Second, news orgs had few mechanisms for breaking out of that walled-garden [...]
