Global Bass Underglaze [blue and white ceramic tile from dramagirl's flickr] For centuries, Persian potters had been using cobalt to paint underglaze blue decorations. In the early fourteenth century, some bright entrepeneur had the idea of taking it to China...
[Salon Calavera] This weekend I’ll be performing at the 3-city Mictlan Dub Festival, alongside Adrian Sherwood, Mungo’s Hi-Fi, and various local DJs and bands in each city. Thi...
Two weeks ago Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney asked me to contribute a piece on her NPR blog, Monitor Mix. She was doing a series on 'End of the Decade'; I looked back across a broad landscape. You can read my post here: Free Music and the Unbuyable Sublime It ...
