all things mau

I had to get a car wash today. On my way there with the pup, I realized a had a camcorder, good music, and inspiration from Jason Sweeney.

“The government may try to deceive the people, and the newspapers and television may do the same, but the truth has a way of coming out. The truth has a power greater than a hundred lies. I know you have practical things to do — to get jobs and get married and have children. You may become prosperous and be considered a success in the way our society defines success, by wealth and standing and prestige. But that is not enough for a good life.”

This video has been making the rounds. I’m not buying Salon’s argument. It’s pretty damn brilliant.

I’m realizing that some of my favorite music to drop into sets is way too out of touch with a younger dance floor generations. And that’s ok. DJ’s MUST update, shift, adapt. But it doesn’t change the fact that my favorite music derives from what some young body called “old soul music”.
