It’s been a long road, and we almost didn’t get there (Bank of America, you were awful). But we got a great interest rate and a deal on a home that ... http://jeremyweiland.com/archives/76 I know it’s been a while. Sorry. Anyway, this is great: Jesse Helms and his ilk inject a bit of fresh blood into art which, for a moment, can imagine itself an insurrectionary force.

He asked us about any ideas we had for ... http://jeremyweiland.com/archives/68 Here’s a photo montage Tasha put together to express our wishes for the season. Enjoy your days of mirth! http://jeremyweiland.com/archives/69 Since I used to produce amateur electronic music, mostly drum and bass / jungle (you can sample some of my work here) I’m very familiar with the prevalence and importance of the Amen break.

But it’s definitely the ... http://jeremyweiland.com/archives/71
