Review of Modeselektor at Club 222, San Francisco
"...At one point in American history — when Club 222 was
called “The Black Hawk” and filled an adjacent parking
lot in addition to the current space — Miles Davis
recorded an album here. Across the street, the famous
Hyde Street Studio looms like the past; the scent of the
Digital Underground, Dead Kennedys, even Tony! Toni!
Toné! still hangs in the air. Even in the Tenderloin, San
Francisco never fails to dazzle with relics of its rich
history of cool..."

William Miller's Great Disappointment
"...Fortunately, early Adventist Hiram Edson had a
vision on October 23. It explained that the previous
day was actually when Jesus began his final
"investigative judgment" to determine who would be
eligible for salvation. This reinterpretation gave rise
to the 15 million-strong Seventh-day Adventist Church
(not to mention to some delicious innovations in
vegetarian cuisine)..."

DB Cooper: One of the Last Great American Outlaws
"...In these dark days of school shootings, terrorism, and
the like, we sometimes forget that there was a time
when certain outlaws were almost like heroes, rebelling
against mainstream culture and the status quo. In 1971,
D.B. Cooper (a.k.a. Dan Cooper) stuck it to the man when
he hijacked an airplane with a nothing but a clip-on tie
and a bomb story...."

Sailing the Seas of Free
"...To celebrate Earth Day last week, we added new
sites to the Freecycling and Free Stuff areas of the
Yahoo! Directory. And let us tell you, after
experiencing just a little of what our Bay Area
community has to give, we're hooked on freesailing!..."

J. Gatsby -- The Original Gangsta?
"...After being born into a hard-working Irish Catholic
family, named after his famous relative, and then
educated at fine, old, private academies, it's no
wonder that Fitzgerald romanticized the family- and
fancy-free, philosophizing flappers, philanderers, and
bootleggers of his day. The perceived freedom and
bacchic revelry afforded to the lawless have long been
envied by the bow-tie wearing rest of us. ..."

How Does One Remember Gary Glitter? Remember Him That
Way
"...Given Glitter's sordid and horrifying legal troubles, it
almost seems like the title of his 1974 hit song
"Remember Me This Way" was a plea from his future self
to his fans at that time. On a YouTube page featuring
that song's music video, commenter eggy541
acknowledges the unsettling duality of Glitter's media
persona: "Gary Glitter will always be the king of glam
regardless of who Paul Gadd turned out to be."!..."

The Mighty Moog Plays On
"...Before the raves, the clubs, the block rockin' beats, the
cars that go boom, and the all-too-timely ecstasy-PSA
episode of Dawson's Creek, there was a teenager in
1950s Queens who wanted to turn electricity into
music...."

The Rise of the Social Music Networks
"...Like many other humans equipped with a heart, soul,
and ears, I spend several hours of every day using music
to stimulate and interact with my higher consciousness.
Between 1994 and 2003, my music life severed its analog
roots and moved almost entirely onto my PC. Now, Web
2.0 is relocating music again -- this time to my web
browser, where I can listen to, discover, discuss, label,
share, store, broadcast, and even make music right
inside Firefox, at home or remotely..."
