Yes, that’s Janet Reno.

I just don’t see why this is so “ridiculous.”

just posted a new hour-long mix. There are eleven other sets on the site, all from a Swiss guy named Miles (?), and the ones that I’ve heard are good. Don’t know a lot about deep house but I like it so far.

Google image gives me this guy for “swiss miles”:

And Miles’ guest DJ has his own “net label* that want explore the deepness world of electronic music.” For now, it’s still sort of getting off its feet:

The first release need a bit of time more, but will be

an ep, with a restricted selection of artists, with music that

can quite satisfy your expectatives! I’m sure !

So, be patience… we are working on it !!!

I’m trying to figure out if it’s Swiss haiku.

UPDATE: It is not in fact Swiss haiku. DJ Mitch is Italian.

Albert Hoffman, who discovered LSD in 1943, turns 100 on Wednesday. The NYT ran an interview with him this weekend where he muses on the circumstances of his creation, its “hijacking” by the counterculture, and why he no longer takes the drug.

He mentions having had his first (planned) trip — eight years after creating the compound — in a room carefully prepared with roses, Mozart, and Japanese incense, accompanied by the writer Ernst Junger. Unfortunately, after that were the ’60s, and today most people that remember Hoffman are total fuckwads.

Philip Pullman blasts God, Tolkien

I really think his books are infinitely better than J.K. Rowling’s. I’ve never heard anyone defend the HP series besides saying they’re fun to read — which they are, sure, but it betrays pretty low standards when that’s all it takes to become a smash bestseller. There’s a huge difference between a children’s book which adults can enjoy (Harry) and a book that can be uniquely appreciated by children and adults (Lord of the Flies, et al, and I’d say Pullman’s series).
