Drum Machines Make Holes in your Soul

This FiloVision mix is for those of you who have a hole in your soul because you don't appreciate metronome maestros. There is still a chance for you to find sequenced salvation. I saw one of John Wood's "Drum Machines Have No Soul" bumper stickers displayed in full sincerity on a Volvo driving through the North End. Probably the driver is a luthier. No offense to my hick music friends. Or maybe the Volvo driver really was John!

I'm glad my soundcard was acting up and glitched the mixing to death. See, that's authentic. Do not fear precision or irregularity. Bring on the soul drilling, crusty beatz.

Perfect Acoustics

I watched two really good documentaries lately. One about Stax Records. The other, Copyright Criminals, about sampling. It's amazing how much influence the Soulsville sound had on beats based music. The sampling of it I think contributes to honoring those musicians, especially in light of the fluidity of media in the social Internet.
