a few tracks i need to look for (constantly updated)
This entry is more of a reminder to myself of sick tracks that I've heard on various electronic music podcasts and online radio shows that I really oughta search out and buy from one online music store or another (i.e. Emusic, Amazon, Beatport, Audio Jelly, iTunes, CDJshop, etc)...
Having them listed in a blog entry definitely beats having them all written on a bunch of little scraps of paper scattered around in my bedroom and in various jacket pockets. Heh. Anywho, these are the tracks:
BBE - 7 Days & 1 Week (Signum Signal Remix)
Deep Care - Blacks (Daniel Kandi Lifted Remix) (Infrasonic)
Loop deVille vs. Boonos - Heated
High Rankin - Sitting in the Wet [When the hell is this guy gonna release this track??? It's driving me nuts!] Finally!
Diverted And Dopamine - First To The Floor - Diverted Traffic
NAPT - More Cowbell
Adymus - A Place Not Far (Maarten Hercules Remix)
Mojado - Free Your Mind
Buy Now - Bodycrash
Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Woody van Eyden - Turn it On
Mellow - Drifting Out of Sight (FC Kahuna Mix)
Andy Moor - Fake Awake
Anhken - Transport
Kimito Lopez - Melkweg
Ils - Hate is an Illness (NAPT Remix)
Elite Force - Engine
Menno De Jong - Solid State (Gareth Emery Remix)
Streetlife DJs - Gunn Crime
ZZT - Lower State of Consciousness (Justice Remix) [apparently this track has been out since last August... where have I been?]
And two albums I really need to pick up one of these days:
Ladytron - Velocifero
Plump DJs - Headthrash
That's all for now!
Oh, and here's a random photo... Just because.

october mini mix [] hundred push-ups

2009 10 07 - october mini mix by minceyfresh
I recorded a new mini mix earlier this month... These are a few bangers I've been dying to put in a mix. They don't seem to fit in with my upcoming "Autumn Audio 2009," so I gave them their own little mini mix! You can download the mix as one long 37 minute mp3 from that little download button on the above Soundcloud player, or download it split into individual tracks here from Mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mwmhnimonyw
01) product.01 - ready 2 rage (eshericks remix) - [dead famous records]
02) quadrat beat - spike - [illeven eleven]
03) neurodriver - sidewinder - [broken robot recordings]
04) far too loud vs. code zero - blackout - [exogenic breaks]
05) firefarm - volatile (pyramid remix) - [broken robot recordings]
06) beatman & ludmilla - ayra - [ayra]
07) vent - whiteout - [hardcore beats]
(lol, I just noticed that I have a "Blackout" and a "White Out" in my mix...)

Since the middle of last month, I've been constantly visiting One Hundred Pushups. When I was in high school (which was AGES ago), I used to be able to do fifty in under a minute, but since then, I haven't been able to do more than 30 without wanting to kill myself... A friend of mine posted a link to this site on Facebook a little while back. It trains the viewer to eventually be able to do 100 consecutive push-ups after 6 weeks of their program. I decided to try my hand at it (especially since I haven't been going to the gym anywhere near as much as I expected to)... I just finished week 4 the other day, and I made it up to 160 push-ups! Not 160 consecutive push-ups, but 160 total. I haven't tested how many I can consecutively do now, but I know for sure that it's over 30!
Can't wait to see where I'll be by week 6!
I was planning to finally post some pics from the San Francisco LovEvolution, but I think that'll have to wait til next post!

tumblr?

Geez, it's been forever since I've written anything in this blog... I swear, I think I might need make it a weekly practice to just start copying and pasting the week's worth of my Twitter posts (or tweets, rather) into Xanga entries or something since that's where most of my thoughts have been going lately.
I was looking at a friends' blog at Tumblr yesterday, and it had this nice, minimalistic aesthetic... Clicking around their about page, I read all sorts testimonials about the ease and usability of the blog... I can only wonder just how different it is from Xanga, Blogspot, Livejournal, etc... It definitely had that kinda newish, web 2.5 (for lack of a better term) kinda feel to it (that kinda feel when you see modern social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and... well, yeah, actually just Facebook and Twitter. Haha). Maybe I'm just getting excited about something new and different. Kinda like when I first started migrating from Sony Imagestation to Flickr way back when.
I'm tempted to try starting a blog at Tumblr and making a few sample posts to see if they're as simple and revolutionary as they make it seem (and if it's that much more simple than posting here on Xanga). I don't think that I'll be able to ditch this blog (I've been on here since 2002! Can't quit now!), but we'll see...
Edit: I made one! http://minceyfresh.tumblr.com/
I'll still be posting here too, though. :D

emoji in gmail!
When I lived in Japan, I was surprised at how many emoji characters were available in my phone! I had more or less forgotten about them after returning to the US until I joined Mixi (a popular Japanese social networking site) in 2005 to see that their messaging service and blog allowed users to embed various emoji...
I heard recently that after a bit of simple hacking, users have been able to install emoji in their iPhones! That got me wondering whether there are any email services or social networks (other than Mixi) that have an abundance of these characters... After doing a bit of clicking around on Google, I found out that Gmail itself has had a TON for a few months now!
Below are just a few of the MANY emoji that are available in Gmail...
Cool, huh
Haha...
