I’ve been lazy about doing basically anything for the past week, lazy enough that I almost feel bad about it. The doctor checked out my knee the other day, he said I likely have a slightly torn meniscus that shouldn’t need operated on unless it gives me great pain and irritation, which it hasn’t for…

In the market for some techno?
With the launch last week of Richie Hawtin/M-nus’ latest “project”, Contakt, there has been much comment and mockery across the internet. The most interesting point for me was made by Test Industries’ Richard Brophy, here. He mentions at the bottom of the comments how maybe some people resent Hawtin’s ability to use the media and…
A Couple Things…..
Spring State
Finally the spring semester is over! Only one more year of this school nonsense, then I too can join the great American workforce. Or something. Now, it’s time for some spring cleaning! First things first, we have a couple changes here at ISM that should make things slightly better for everyone. The most immediately useful…
Crazy Times, Mikebee Mix, New Recloose 12″, etc.
The semester is winding down quickly, which means lots of insanity on my part and explains our relative quiet of late. Last weekend we celebrated my man Tony’s last free time before joining the navy. Friday night, myself, Chris Schubert, Tony, and Brother Mike rocked out the Alto Lounge, bringing back memories of the golden…
Uncompromised
I picked up New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War),the new album by Erykah Badu, the other day and I am really feeling it. I’ve had the 12″ for “Honey” for a while now, and while I love it (especially the video, it’s like she made it just for vinyl heads!) it was definitely more…
Am I Coming, or Going?
Man, life has been crazy the past month or so. School has been killing me, Pittsburgh has had some fantastically awesome bad weather (which I would actually like if I could miss school ever and have that be alright), and the record store I work at just moved locations which meant much heavy lifting and…
Mo’ Records and Other Shit, Too
It’s been a while since I talked about new records on here, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been getting plenty of them! In actuality, I’ve been getting a bunch of nice things and just haven’t been writing about them due to my temporary craziness (which has been eradicated by my decision not to write…
2007 Year In Review
For me, 2007 ends about three blocks from where it began. Fortunately, those three blocks were the three blocks to the ocean. Looking out of your bedroom window and seeing the ocean right fucking there is what’s up. Big ups to the Baltimore crew for the hookup, it’s always a good time chilling with those…
We Are (A Blog) Family
The links sections here at ISM is meant to act as a dependable place to find MP3s, interviews, blog posts, and basically any good resource for music and record related sites. Every blog that is on there is in my personal reader, so that is the highest reccomendation I can give (and let me just…
