"Sacred Elephants" [mp3 removed]
This song has several variations: "Piano Three Hands" was the first. This is a Reaktor-ified version with fairly active percussion.
Update: Remixed and reposted in 2013.
New cat bus videos by Anthony Leslie: #5 and #6
These are getting more elaborate (but still artfully clumsy)--watch the first four again and you'll notice. I like the way standard Hollywood editing moves are mimicked and moronified, as in "the chase scene" in #6. (The gimpy perspective on that pistol closeup haunts. Also, note surf music rendition of "Greensleeves" during chase.)
I passed a guy yesterday with a jambox on his bike playing the Cat Bus theme (or close enough).

"Greater Powerz" [mp3 removed]
Something for the headphones in the BLOG installation. The rhythms were worked out last July and published as "808 Straight." Decided it needed tunes so I added those.
In the comments to her blog Paddy and I have been discussing a post about a Jerry Saltz review of Walid Raad a while back.
Paddy thinks that might have been one-upmanship, but of who? The point of exposing Jerry's "money graf" was so you could read what he said about Raad without all the BS around it.
Raad has been questioned here before.
Your dysfunctional government at work. According to the Washington Note, Dick Cheney is mad that Bush appears to be softening on Iran and has cooked up a plan on how to get us into war with that nation.
Meanwhile, neocons are meeting in the Bahamas to discuss how to get the US into an Iranian war. All the speakers are having their expenses paid and each gets a 1000 dollar fee. The forces of darkness have more money than we do, people.
