The Life and Times and Amazing Adventures of DJ Bunny Ears.

I hope to always, perpetually, be in beta-mode.

Back from 10 extraordinary days in Austin for SXSW.
Tired as all heck, but so worth it.
Just getting caught up with work at the moment, so as soon as I can,
I'll be posting a synopsis as well as more content from my Texas adventures.
In the meantime, if you want to see what I got up to while there, you can look at my Twitter feed/archive:

Also, Dave Allen (Gang Of Four) has posted some great stories about his time there:

Feel it in the air, let it swoop like hawk.

It's been out for a little bit but I'm just finally checking out Spoek Mathambo's album, Mshini Wam, and I really dig it. That said, it begs the question of how to describe it and in some ways, it's really hard to say. So many young people are now making music via this method of having every reference and no reference. It's a genre and cultural hodgepodge and I love this younger people's music that's essentially all-hybrid and no-genre. Who cares what it's called, I just know it's good.

Gonna Come Back As A Ghost.

I don't know too much about this band yet, but what I've heard so far, I dig.
Check out the title track from their Bicho de Luz EP.
Reminds me of vintage Aphex Twin.

A little about this blog: The idea when I decided to start up this blog came simply from my all-consuming love of music and the desire to share it friends and other fans of music. Though I may post new music here, my intention isn't to simply participate in an echo chamber of music or aggregation, but rather to come at it with a strong point of view about music - my view: what is exciting to me, what I am obsessing about, what I unearth, discover or rediscover. Sometimes it is even just a way for me to document my life - to remember what a day consisted of, what I thought about, who and what I saw, how I was feeling. At the very least, I hope I might turn you onto something new, old, inspiring. And please share back with me anytime. A little about me: I am a music supervisor, DJ, director, musician, filmmaker, radio host, book publisher, independent record label owner, writer, journalist, artist, curator, futurist, photographer & producer. After living in Portland, Oregon where I worked as a Music Supervisor/Producer at Wieden + Kennedy for over 8½ years, I made the move to New York City in February 2009, where I was the Executive Music Producer at Young & Rubicam for nearly two years, before I moved again to Chicago to become the Executive Producer of Music & Creative Integration at DDB, where I am now currently working.

I have also directed music videos for M. Ward, Cursive and Chin Up Chin Up, as well as TV commercials for Nike. With my bands and as a DJ, I have performed nationally and internationally, including San Francisco’s MOMA, Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, PICA’s TBA Festival 2004 & 2005, CMJ Festival 2008, Flux Event at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, MusicfestNW, Paris’ radio station, Radio Nova, ‘boards Awards 2009 and Barcelona’s electronic music festival, Sonar.
