This online tool, projectplaylist, lets you piece together a streaming playlist from mp3s that are out there on the web already. I don't know how legal it is. On the one hand, it's playing copyrighted material. On the other hand, it's using files that others have already put out there for public playing. I'm not sure, but until I get myself a real internet radio station again, here are a few mixes. But, a big caveat: I have to confine myself to stuff I can find on other people's sites. So none of these are the mixes I would have done if I had my own collection available. That will come soon enough... dj prose #198 eclectic mix typical of my style - based in downtempo electronic, trip hop, ambient, but with diversions into post-rock, exotica, acid jazz, and whatever...

about me
www.philfoxrose.com
www.friendster.com/profiles/philrose www.myspace.com/prose philrose.tribe.com I'm a neo-Luddite who works in new media; a spiritual seeker with a TiVo; a thinker who believes intellectualism is a psychopathology; a hetero queer; and I try not to take any of it too seriously and just enjoy life. (I know, I know, the "he's this but also this unexpected opposite thing" is trite. If this bothers you, then consider it a postmodern referential device mocking the genre. If that bothers you, well, good.) I love conversation, spirituality, recovering, nature; I love sitting at home watching romantic comedies or reading. (And I'm not quite sick of reality shows yet.) I write -- esp. about gender, spirituality, politics and pop culture -- and post some of it on my site - www.philfoxrose.com; also other places. I have been a magazine editor, a (major and minor) political party leader, a video editor, an Oblate to a Camaldolese monastery, a downtempo electronic DJ, and a software designer. Now I manage web-related stuff for non-profits. I live in the East Village, half a block from where I managed a record store as a teenager. For a while in between, I lived in a cabin on a 200-acre piece of land in rural Maine, raising sheep, gardening, meditating and writing.

From my site
(The following was my contribution to an essay in the St. Ignatius Loyola newsletter.) I've been a spiritual seeker all my life. Raised atheist by ex-Mormons, I journeyed through Quakerism and Buddhism, and Centering Prayer acquainted me with Catholic monasticism, which I explored but abandoned. Last year, grace led me into a new close friendship with someone who embodies loving Catholicism. Our rich conversations about spiritual matters and my discovery of St. Augustine's writings helped me see the Church and a life of faith in an entirely new way. She guided me to St. Ignatius and as I sat near the back that first Sunday, though I had yet to understand the mysteries of the Trinity and Eucharist, the relevance of objects all around me -- our amazing RCIA program would later fill those in -- the moment the plainchant...

So I'm sitting in Saint Patrick's Cathedral on the first Sunday of Lent, preparing to go up, along with every other person in the New York metro area being baptized Catholic this Easter, one by one, to sign our names in the book and transition from being "catechumens" to being "members of the elect." I'm sitting there in my suit and tie, overwhelmed by the number of people and the diversity of the crowd and the beauty of the moment. But I'm also steeling myself as I have done at various stages along this nearly year-long path in anticipation that THIS Catholic situation will somehow offend my morals or beliefs. I'm assuming this because I'm outside of the cozy liberal enclave of the Jesuits, out in the messy mainstream Catholic world. I'm assuming this because a lot of the catechumens...

Coming Out as StraightBy Phil Fox RoseJune 9, 2006I have not written anything on gender in a couple of years. The main reason for this is that I've had a strong sense that my understanding of it as it relates to me was in flux. Though as a nonfiction writer one must be willing to commit to paper your thoughts of the moment, with full awareness that they will change and probably embarrass you down the road, there are times when you feel your current thought-state is so obviously immature that it would be imprudent to proceed. Such has been the last two years. Recently, though, things snapped into focus and I've been growing increasingly uncomfortable with the already-published work being my latest words on the subject. So, the point of this is: I'm a straight man. There, I said...
