Music: Holografique – Mutasis (1996)

This song so reminds me of the mid 90’s when electronic music was at its pinnacle. Ambient/Downtempo EDM has always held a special place in my heart and this track by Omar Torres (aka Holografique) is 1 reason why. The drum pattern reminds of Autechre, one of my favorite groups.

Video: The Death of Jason Terry

Around 9:15pm Jason Terry of the Boston Celtics was pronounced dead at the Boston Garden Arena. Miami Heat superstar LeBron James is the suspect in this brutal case.

Canes Win ACC Title

UM-ACC-team-shot-600x300

The 2013 ACC Champions are the University of Miami Hurricanes!

I’ll let that settle in for a second. Few thought it would come this year, I myself included.

After finishing 15-3 in the ACC over the regular season and getting to #3 in the nation, the Hurricanes Men’s Basketball team led by Shane Larkin and Coach Jim Larrañaga not only won the regular season ACC title, but also brought home the ACC Tournament Championship on Sunday after sweeping the North Carolina Tarheels 3 games in a row this year. I’ll let that marinate for a bit as well.

There is a bit of controversy as Miami did not get #1 seeding for the NCAA Tournament. They destroyed No. 1 Duke by over 20 points, won the ACC regular-season basketball championship and continued their unlikely season by defeating North Carolina on Sunday in the ACC tournament final. Miami becomes the first team to win outright ACC regular season and tournament championships and not receive a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

And the last time a team doubled up on the league’s two crowns but didn’t get a No. 1 seed for the NCAAs was exactly … never.

Miami, by the way, has a better RPI (Rating Percentage Index) and strength of schedule — two of the precious measuring sticks for tournament seeding — than Gonzaga. Doesn’t matter as Miami has outperformed everyone’s expectations and will only continue to excel. Stay tuned as Miami faces Pacific on Friday in the first round of 64!

Mixtape: Chronosphere Volume 5 (2013 Miami Winter Music Conference Mixtape)

Neurologix_Chronoshere_v5

http://www.mixcrate.com/neurologix/chronosphere-volume-5-2013-wmc-mix-282666

So I periodically get behind the decks and crank out a mix about every 2-3 months depending on my mood. Sometimes its ghetto as hell, at times its fresh house music or a trip down memory lane.

This mix came out of the brewing maelstrom known as Winter Music Conference. Many of the people I got to know through my travels in the mid 90’s are still going strong in the scene and this mix is my salute to them.

Marvel Heroes Pencilled by JIMBO

Avengers_vs_Xmen

I’ve always been more amazed by Penciling that Inked work simply because of the natural look and feel. While colors tend to make things more pronounced, to me theres nothing like looking through an artists unfinished sketchbook.

I found the artist JIMBO on DeviantArt  a while back and thought I’d share of my favorites here.

Batman: Rogues Gallery by Walter Ostlie

Went to Mega Con this past weekend and ran across this fellows table. His artstyle reminds me of a combination of Jim Lee and Simon Bisley (Artist of the Lobo series).

This Batman: Rogues Gallery piece stood out as one of my favorites. He had others on display that I should have picked up but didn’t.

To see more of his stuff check it out his DeviantArt page.
