podcast #1

March 18th, 2006 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

So I decided that I would try to make a little podcast radio show. This is the first attempt. The idea is to pick songs that kind of follow the things I’ve been doing and thinking about. The first show is songs that I discovered or thought of from my most recent trip out of [...]

awake, misguided

March 17th, 2006 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

“One of the great liabilities of history is that all to many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of the status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. But today our very survival depends on our ability to [...]

March 16th, 2006 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

This radio piece is pretty awesome and its pretty interesting to hear someone articulate pretty reasonable ambivalence to someone that me, and most of the folks that I know go kind of gahgah over.  Transom Shows: Voice of Youth: The Night I Met Cornel West: 19-year-old Laquoia Simmons had a big night a while back: [...]

I stumbled across this random blog post when I googled for “triffling” because I was curious about the spelling.  My friend once told me, half jokingly, that she thinks everyone is looking for a hustle.  Reading this piece of someone’s life, like a voyeur, I realize that I’m seriously outclassed when it comes to deviousness.  [...]

(Also, I need to create a query to fix the existing entries.)  The reason why this needs to be done is because currently, the inventory automatically enters all books from distributors as new, but with [...]


disaster song descriptions

March 15th, 2006 by Geoffrey Hing | View Comments

For Kevey, initially, for some kind of demo liner notes, eventually. Research This song is about skateboarding, place, ownership, and memory. Who owns a place?  Is it the person who holds the deed, title, or monetary investments, or is it those who occupy the place, us it, redefine it, develop an intimate relationship with it [...]

When my friend Leanne was passing through town last month, we went for a short hike around Lake Griffey.  While we were hiking, she mentioned that she really liked a comic called Potshots and that she was disappointed that her local paper had stopped carrying the comic.  Luckily, the comics are available on the web.  [...]
