Here’s a neat-o toy for the orbit – the orbit category map. It’s one of those tag cloud type things, not very useful but pretty to look at. I’ve been super busy lately, but things are chilled out again so beware – music will be coming up soon!

Tru Thoughts is a netlabel that features artists such as Bonobo and Quantic. They have a freebie page as well as a podcast. Check out the free tracks, the four that are there now will be taken down on March 20. Four quality tracks of downtempo chilledness. Get ’em before they’re gone. Then check back for more.
David Lichtenberger and Thomas Herlth at Tokyo Trauma have come up with five tracks of electrojazz excellence that you absolutely must not miss. This is a difficult one to link to, as all Tokyo Trauma’s releases are on one page so this will require a tiny bit of effort on your part. Click the link, and fourth from the bottom of the page is a release called Speedstar by Whats Left. These five tracks are in a word – awesome.
Well, I’ve been promising to post some Mexican music here for ages. And here it is. If you can stand it.
Surbahar (the artist, not the instrument) has released two tracks for us to enjoy. The first, Gopal, is a mellow, dub like ambient electro piece that is sure to chill you out. Next up is Radesha, a guitar laden instrumental with plenty of ethnic percussions and breakbeats that move on into an ethnic vocal to keep you interested all the way through. Surbahar brings an excellent release to the table, be sure to check out his previous release on the same net label.
A poppy electro album. Great vocals and great techno music combine to make this a great album for dj’s to spin at the club or for jamming out in the car. Don’t play it at work unless you want all your coworkers to drop what they’re doing and get down and boogie.
This release starts out as a sort of folky electro breakbeat sound, and progressively moves to a more psychological sound, more distorted and trashed out sounds and arrangement.
We are a nation that has a government–not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.

So I got this Jeep Cherokee a few weeks ago. It’s great – we can drive right out on the beach with it. 
We had the best family time in quite a while this past Saturday. 
It’s so much better to just drive right up versus parking a half mile away and lugging all your gear down to the water. 
The girls had fun playing in the sand and water. It was Amelia’s first time at the beach, by the way. Cara picked up lots of shells and Amelia, well she tried to eat sand. But at least she had fun doing it. There will be much more of this sort of thing going on this summer, thanks to the Cherokee.
