June 3, 2008 We the people made history tonight by nominating our choice for President! The following three videos are (1) a new video made by Zoe Kravitz in support of Obama; (2) Barack's historic speech proclaiming his nomination; and (3) Fox News trashing McCain horrible speech tonight. Beating the crap out of the Reps this election cycle is gonna be just plain fun:
June 1, 2008 Updated the wallpaper page with reviews and quotes from a variety of AbletonLiveDJ and Ableton forum members as well as a couple of quotes from the mother ship! Also, polished and updated wallpaper1 full mix, so you can consider it wallpaper v1.1, while wallpaper2 remains the same.

May 24, 2008 Near the end of the presidential primary, the loser gets very desperate and says crazy things. Keith Olbermann's Special Comment says it all:
May 20, 2008 I created a new skin for one of my favorite synths, Cakewalk's Z3ta+. If you own z3ta+ then pat yourself on the back for owning one of the best synths out there (hardware or software!)...and you can download my new skin here.

April 26, 2008 Someone from the Obama camp sent us a link to a commercial created with images from the various rallies, and using a picture of Simon and me. This commercial highlights the diversity of supporters that Obama brings to his campaign.
March 10, 2008 Last week was tough. We worked really hard in Texas, and for Barack to not win the primary by a mere 3% was difficult, and morale was low. However, what was much harder to hear and continues to be is this notion that Clinton somehow destroyed Obama. Not a chance! Obama won more delegates in Texas, and after all is said and done, Clinton might have come out a mere 10 delegates ahead after March 4. Obama will make up for that by the time he rolls through Mississippi. Here's his rally in Columbus..it's about time Barack went on the offensive:
March 1, 2008 Had a visit from Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and his wife, Keisha Nash, at Obama HQ in Dallas. I mentioned that I had to hit the streets to canvas door to door, and he took the time for a quick picture and thanked me sincerely for my efforts supporting Obama. The guy is really geniune and down to earth, and I was happy to have met him.
February 27, 2008 An AMAZING town hall event in Duncanville with Barack Obama. Afterwards, the volunteers for the event were asked to sit behind Barack while he provided an interview for the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The interview (and our rambunctious support for Barack) aired on the February 28 episode, and the Youtube video is below the picture.
This is a close-up of my wife, Charmaine (to my left), and me, sitting just behind Barack. It couldn't get any better! The high-resolution picture of all the volunteers sitting with Barack is available here and a lower resolution image (one that you can send to all your friends and family) is here.
February 22, 2008 Liveset at Fallout Lounge in Dallas, as part of Melodica 2008. Come check out the show. I'll post the audio soon afterwards. For more Melodica details, check this out for information on the amazing artists lined up over the next three days. Here's the flyer for my gig.
February 20, 2008 I volunteered at the Obama rally at Reunion Arena in Dallas today. It was amazing to be a part of 17,000 Texans for Obama!
Also, here's a new Youtube of our rallies in Texas. My son, Simon, and I appear around 1:35.
February 17, 2008 Just got back from the Obama rally in Fair Park. I can't tell you guys how inspired I am to be a part of something much much bigger than any of us. Please check out the Youtubes below and GO VOTE ON MARCH 4 in Texas!! Also, read this so that you can make sure your entire vote counts in the TX Two-Step Primary.
January 15, 2008 Happy New Year! To start the year off, I've got a new remix for good friends Hot Bitch Arsenal called Double Down Quick (Nebulae's Sunset Remix) that you can hear in the flash player on the left. I also just played a liveset to open for good friends Fruitcake Superbeing. Here's the YouTube:
December 22 , 2007 Played a liveset at Minc in Dallas. Great lounge, great sound system.
October 29, 2007 Played a fantastic set of original music at Zubar in Dallas on Oct 28. The set is streaming from the player on this page, and it contains several songs that are planned for release on the wallpaper record. The second song is a collaboration with Minus You from the Bay Area, and the third song is entirely Minus You. The set starts soft and builds to an energy-filled ending with lots of glitchy techno along the way. Enjoy.
