Fi-Hi : UBDJ – Urban DJ Mixer: Mixer.
This is the first mixing tool I’ve seen for non-vinyl formats that’s actually interesting. It’s cheap and portable, just like the things you’re supposed to use as inputs, and it leaves cueing and stuff up to the devices.
This would be amazing in a car, or as a theme to a party where everyone brings their iPods and are on the hook to mix.

It was usually sold out anyway.
It’s as forces are actually conspiring to make me miss that place– The Bell House got like 100x better the second we left. Still, though, no regrets.
What the link doesn’t mention is that Larry Johnson also performed, Sarah Vowell DJ’d, and that Kristen Schaal apparently played theremin while dressed in some kind of foam suit. Pretty awesome night when a GNR cover band is actually the lamest part of the bill.

One of the oddest statistics in the nation belongs to Syracuse forward/center Arinze Onuaku. He leads the nation in field-goal percentage, but that hasn’t translated to success from the line. Onuaku entered Wednesday’s game with St. John’s shooting twice as well from the floor .706 as he was from the foul line .353.

…is how I was singing The Cure’s Fire In Cairo in the shower this morning, for some reason.
I’m really loving this deluxe edition of the Three Imaginary Boys album (which came out forever ago), I think it has jumped ahead of Head on the Door as my favorite Cure album. The extras on the 2-disc set are pretty good, but mainly I’m just happy about how crisp it all sounds… much better than my flimsy old Austrailian vinyl copy.
Dig those dancing Boston teens.
