What is THE CRAFT you ask?

Have you ever wanted to know, emphatically, what a lyric truly meant, or where it came from? Have you ever wanted to know what the studio experience is like for some of your favorite producers? Each episode of THE CRAFT will feature one music maker, in their environment, talking about their creative process - from what has shaped their artistic perspective to how they have evolved into the artist they are now - their struggle - their voice and the influences that have guided them in their lives. Each show will focus on an artist and their particular journey towards contributing to our cultural landscape.

BPM Magazine Invasion!!!

I've managed to sneak into the pages of BPM magazine again..this time as a guest reviewer of 'Downtempo', although you'd be hard pressed to make a case that ANY of the tracks I reviewed are actually 'Downtempo';)

It pays to have friends in mid-level places.

Check the November issue....page 94....it's all an experiment....I just keep pushing....

Something Truly IS Happening

At 8:50 AM on Saturday, Oct. 8th, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake shattered the South Asian subcontinent, killing thousands in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. The devastation is heart-breaking. At least 40 villages have been wiped out or are seriously damaged. And the death toll, already over 30,000, is certain to climb.

Also recently, Storm 'Stan' created huge mudslides in Guatemala that burried entire provinces. At least 508 people are confirmed dead but officials warn another 1,400 could have died in two villages alone.

Given the amount of RECENT natural disasters and astronomical death tolls they have caused, I'd say it's time we stopped focusing on our individuality and collectively meditate on the well being of our planet. And I don't mean shrooming out on how trippy it is, then hopping back to adding profile pictures.

Seriously, sit, meditate and get right with the planet. She's pissed, and we must reassure her that we are worthy. 2012 may come early. We either do this together, or alone...the choice is ours.

With mad love.........

Etan Thomas invites Bush to the 'hood'

The following is a transcript of a speach by Etan Thomas,
Professional Basketball Player for the Washingon
Wizards, given to the hundreds-of-thousands that
marched on the White house last Saturday, September
24th. I think it binds together all events currently
affecting America, and provides the ultimate root
cause for the misfortunes of those in Louissiana, Iraq
and the world as a whole. We must not lose sight of
our compassion.....for ANY human being.

ETAN THOMAS: "Giving all honor, thanks and praises to
God for courage and wisdom.... I'd like to thank you
for allowing me to share my thoughts, feelings and
concerns regarding a tremendous problem that we are
currently facing. This problem is universal,
transcending race, economic background, religion, and
culture, and this problem is none other than the
current administration which has set up shop in the
White House.

In fact, I'd like to take some of these cats on
a field trip. I want to get big yellow buses with no
air conditioner and no seatbelts and round up Bill
O'Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Trent Lott, Sean Hannity, Dick
Cheney, Jeb Bush, Bush Jr. and Bush Sr., John
Ashcroft, Giuliani, Ed Gillespie, Katherine Harris,
that little bow-tied Tucker Carlson and any other
right-wing conservative Republicans I can think of,
and take them all on a trip to the ‘hood'. Not to do
no 30-minute documentary. I mean, I want to drop them
off and leave them there, let them become one with the
other side of the tracks, get them four mouths to feed
and no welfare, have scare tactics run through them
like a laxative, criticizing them for needing
assistance.

I’d show them working families that make too
much to receive welfare but not enough to make ends
meet. I’d employ them with jobs with little security,
let them know how it feels to be an employee at will,
able to be fired at the drop of a hat. I’d take away
their opportunities, then try their children as
adults, sending their 13-year-old babies to life in
prison. I’d sell them dreams of hopelessness while
spoon-feeding their young with a daily dose of
inferior education. I’d tell them no child shall be
left behind, then take more money out of their
schools, tell them to show and prove themselves on
standardized exams testing their knowledge on things
that they haven’t been taught, and then I’d call them
inferior.

I’d soak into their interior notions of endless
possibilities. I’d paint pictures of assisted
productivity if they only agreed to be all they can
be, dress them up with fatigues and boots with
promises of pots of gold at the end of rainbows, free
education to waste terrain on those who finish their
bid. Then I’d close the lid on that barrel of fool’s
gold by starting a war, sending their children into
the midst of a hostile situation, and while they're
worried about their babies being murdered and slain in
foreign lands, I’d grace them with the pain of being
sick and unable to get medicine.

Give them health benefits that barely cover the
common cold. John Q. would become their reality as
HMOs introduce them to the world of inferior care,
filling their lungs with inadequate air, penny
pinching at the expense of patients, doctors
practicing medicine in an intricate web of rationing
and regulations. Patients wander the maze of managed
bureaucracy, costs rise and quality quickly
deteriorates, but they say that managed care is
cheaper. They’ll say that free choice in medicine will
defeat the overall productivity, and as co-payments
are steadily rising, I'll make their grandparents have
to choose between buying their medicine and paying
their rent.

Then I'd feed them hypocritical lines of being
pro-life as the only Christian way to be. Then very
contradictingly, I’d fight for the spread of the death
penalty, as if 'thou shall not kill' applies to babies
but not to criminals.

Then I’d introduce them to those sworn to
protect and serve, creating a curb in their trust in
the law. I’d show them the nightsticks and plungers,
the pepper spray and stun guns, the mace and magnums
that they’d soon become acquainted with, the
shakedowns and illegal search and seizures, the
planted evidence, being stopped for no reason.
Harassment ain’t even the half of it. Forty-one shots
to two raised hands, cell phones and wallets that are
confused with illegal contrabands. I’d introduce them
to pigs who love making their guns click like wine
glasses. Everlasting targets surrounded by bullets,
making them a walking bull's eye, a living pi?ata,
held at the mercy of police brutality, and then we’ll
see if they finally weren’t aware of the truth, if
their eyes weren’t finally open like a box of Pandora.

I’d show them how the other side of the tracks
carries the weight of the world on our shoulders and
how society seems to be holding us down with the force
of a boulder. The bird of democracy flew the coop back
in Florida. See, for some, injustice comes in packs
like wolves in sheep's clothing. T.K.O.'d by the right
hooks of life, many are left staggering under the
weight of the day, leaning against the ropes of hope.
When your dreams have fallen on barren ground, it
becomes difficult to keep pushing yourself forward
like a train, administering pain like a doctor with a
needle, their sequels continue more lethal than
injections.

They keep telling us all is equal. I’d tell them
that instead of giving tax breaks to the rich,
financing corporate mergers and leading us into
unnecessary wars and under-table dealings with Enron
and Halliburton, maybe they can work on making society
more peaceful. Instead, they take more and more money
out of inner city schools, give up on the idea of
rehabilitation and build more prisons for poor people.
With unemployment continuing to rise like a deficit,
it's no wonder why so many think that crime pays.

Maybe this trip will make them see the error of
their ways. Or maybe next time, we'll just all get out
and vote. And as far as their stay in the White House,
tell them that numbered are their days. "
END:

Take care, but most of all...take up effort.
Cheers,
RD
