I missed getting my sweat on and dancing this weekend. Two days in a row. Plus drinking. This morning I was in a bad mood. I took a 20 minute meditation, emptied my thoughts, got down to pure breath. That alone is so healing. But then I went outside, put on new Joel Davis dance mixMasterpiece Theatre, and did a loop around Candlewood lane.




I stopped on the way and made a web installation, see below, part one of a new series I think.
Then when I got back there was still a half an hour to go in the mixmasterpiece piece set, so I danced hard in front of the mayor and bathed myself in sweat. It was such a great ending to the set, Missy Elliot, total surprise coming from Joe Davis, into basshead, an old obscure hip-hop Love of mine, into early public enemy, into Fela Kuti finish. It’s amazing what a good DJ can do, make you not want to quit after going at it hard for an hour.
After the set I put on Dick Hyman, part of Patrick Burns’ Spotify playlist of 60s obscurities. I was pretty stoked to hear a sample Beck used to open up his big hit, I’m a loser baby. I always imagined that opening was out of Beck’s imagination.
It’s in a cool song called “My Moog and Me”, in what appears to be a duet between Mr. Hymen, whistling, and his Moog tweeting along with him.
Beck does improve upon it though, I have to give h that.
