Feathered Friends

When we started this mix my cohort, Sara, was sbbseg. She has since been married and changed both her name and her user name, in the latter case to ucelluccia. Just like a woman, as the poet Dylan would say.

This mix started out as a free-flowing, see what happens thing and quickly evolved into a thematic ode to birds, our feathered friends. I think ucelluccia and avocado rabbit started to become friends during the making of this mix, and the pair are already working on a follow-up.

In the words of the Scot James Matthew Barrie: “The reason that birds fly and we can’t is simply that for to have faith is to have wings.” What he tells us is that we can fly spiritually; we just don’t realize it.

Good To The Last Drop of Summer

It’s a little embarrassing that it’s taken this long for our mix to get posted. Things happen. At any rate, what has finally emerged is this paean to summer from njr and avocado rabbit, compiled at a time when the last drops of summer were being squeezed from the early September skies.

Who better to give us the inspiration for this double-disc set than the eternal beach boy himself, Brian Wilson.

“Another car running fast,
Another song on the beach,
I take a trip through the past,
When summer’s way out of reach.”

Going through a break-up is never easy, neither for the leaver nor the left-behind. And who cannot relate from first-hand experience? But in the words of the poet, Ms. Browning: “I would rather experience a hopeless love than a passionless love.” In other words, it is better to have loved and lost as long as you loved (and were loved) well.

This is the first of two alt-dj mixes from natalyesaurus and avocado rabbit. Natalye is not big on capital letters as you can see above, and her mixing partner wants to cheer her up.

But of course there is a quiz: Which band in this mix is led by a husband and wife who have split up?

Law & Order SVU: Season One

Heinous crimes indeed!

embryonic renovations

People are equating the word “embryonic” with stem cell research, a hot button topic in modern times if ever there was one. Science wants to pursue all options -- umbilical, placental and embryonic – as a pathway to stem cell cures, offering hope to the millions of people that suffer from life-threatening conditions. Right-to-Lifers take an opposing viewpoint on this ethical issue.

Another usage for “embryonic” is to describe humankind’s progression through time and space. As our species evolves, hopefully we gain wisdom along with knowledge.

In the words of Gail Sheehy, “With each passage of human growth we must shed a protective structure [like a hardy crustacean]. We are left exposed and vulnerable - but also yeasty and embryonic again, capable of stretching in ways we hadn't known before.”

With numerous challenges facing both our society and all civilization, it is time to look towards these embryonic renovations on our pathway to the future.

You Say Tomato

There was an old Italian man who lived alone in the country. It was spring and he wanted to dig his tomato garden as he had done every year. It was very hard work for the aging man because the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was currently in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging for a garden. If only you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the garden for me. Love, Your Father

A few days later he received a letter from his son:

Dear Dad,
Not for nothing, but don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES.
Love, Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived at the old man's house and dug up the entire area. However, they didn't find any bodies, so they apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.


Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Vinnie

It’s a cultural tale rather than an ethnic joke, which are not so good these days, right? The mix you have here is a cultural tale as well, between two English speakers separated by a large pond – Barrydali and Avocado Rabbit. Naturally, we found our common ground in music and in sharing saw our differences weren’t so great. If only politics and world peace were as easy as “You say tom-ay-to and I say to-mah-to.”

“Hallelujah” is, to use a religious term, no revelation.

The close of the 20th century was a bad time for TV preachers. One moment, men like the PTL Club's Jim Bakker and television's Jimmy Swaggart seemed bigger than life, men who had been blessed with an uncanny ability to attract followers and money. The next, they were fragile, flawed, and the butt of barroom jokes and newspaper cartoons. In many ways, it seemed like big-time TV religion would start to fade away. Look, the critics said, the emperors really have no clothes.

But Americans, at least many of them, seem to have forgiven and forgotten. TV's salvation shows are still here, bigger and flashier than ever, thanks to the proliferation of the Internet and the continued spread of satellite and cable TV. The names may have changed – Benny Hinn, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Paula White, T.D. Jakes and Joyce Meyer have replaced Bakker, Swaggart and Oral Roberts at the top of the evangelical mountainbut the message remains virtually identical.

Believe with all your heart and soul, they tell the faithful. Give and you shall receive, sow and you shall reap. And give, give, give until you can't give any more. God, they say, loves a cheerful giver.

Two decades have passed since Bakker's Praise the Lord empire turned to dust, the victim of a motel tryst with Jessica Hahn and a criminal conviction of defrauding thousands of investors in his Heritage USA theme park. Swaggart, too, fell fast and hard, after a rival minister caught him meeting with a prostitute. His guilt-ridden, tear-streaked face still graces mocking Internet websites, though he has made his way back into the lower tiers of the industry. Even Roberts, dubbed the father of television evangelism, took fire for claiming that God would "call me home" unless his viewers sent him $8 million, a statement seen by some as a form of evangelical blackmail. Oral’s son is carrying on the family tradition of corruption and deceit, by being temporarily relieved of his duties at the university bearing his father’s name because of “improper usage of university funds for political and personal purposes along with the improper use of university resources.”


Critics of the evangelists risk accusations of being in league with Satan. That’s the ultimate response to questions about the ethics of these evangelists, but it falls short as we have seen to serving as a get-out-of-jail-free card. Worse yet is their still relevant influence over our political system. We only have to see John Hagee’s en dorsement of McCain and McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin to realize the potential these preachers have for undermining the democratic process.

Doowad and Avocado Rabbit put together this mix about the “Evangelistas” still cluttering up the TV and Internet. Don’t take it as gospel, though there are flavors of gospel throughout.
