  1. I’ve been so confused about the days of the week this week! Is this thursday’s episode or friday’s? I think it must be Friday’s, but where is thursday’s?

      It’s a Thursday episode and is a repeat from March 30, 2007. There should be a Friday episode poster later on (It already exists). This episode (Sounds of Chinatown) is one of my favorites!

  4. Cool stuff as always, Rocketboom. We did a related music piece a few months ago called Chinatown Dakota. Check it out, if you like something similar and mellow.

  9. BEST NEWS TODAY…

    US walking away from U.N. rights forum

    http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L06927371.htm

    GENEVA, June 6 (Reuters) - The United States has quietly informed Western allies of its intention to walk away from the U.N. Human Rights Council, diplomatic sources said on Friday.

    The U.S. delegation has observer status, with the right to speak, in the 47-member state forum, which meets in Geneva, and has never stood for election to the Council since it was set up two years ago.

    Diplomatic sources and rights activists said that U.S. officials had informed the European Union on Friday morning of its intention to halt its involvement in the Council.

    “They said they were going to disengage totally,” said one representative of a rights watchdog group.

    In a Council debate on Friday on the situation in Myanmar, the United States failed to take the floor on a topic on which until now it has always been vocal, a possible sign that it had little further interest in the body. The Council replaced the widely discredited U.N. Commission on Human Rights.

    But it is seen by critics as having fallen under control of a bloc of Islamic and African countries, which have a majority when backed by their frequent allies Russia, China and Cuba.

    BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

    Let see, it’s been over a month since the devastating Myanmar cyclone
    and the UN has done SFA. 23,000 dead….42,000 missing… millions starving
    and the UN Human Rights Commission sits on their collective assholes.

    The US should pull out of the UN altogether and donate the building to the homeless of NYC.

    Your “Sounds of Chinatown” episode reminded me of something I saw in a documentary about Bjork several years ago. She walked around with a little recording/ mixing device and created music from sounds.

    2. …a quote by Machiavelli who lived during the times of (1469-1527)? Well, so, I gotta know: was his policy adopted or not? It must be written down somewhere, like, for sure…

    Drew, Ellie, Joanne, why wasn’t I invited??? I’m an RB fan. Now I feel snubbed. You know I can go to any engagement in the world…very disappointed. And I would have brought my HOT celebrity friends. Your loss. Maybe forever.

  23. That was the real deal wasn’t it? No playing around, just sampled and played back? If it wasn’t, don’t tell me…it was great. Thanks
