Here it is, my final compilation for the year. It is about CD length in time. These are tracks that I’ve heard, gathered and enjoyed this last quarter of 2011. It’s mixed up a bit with Post Punk, electronic, techno and indie. Not stuff you’ll find on the radio. Making this available one of two ways: Spotify link at the bottom, or you can download the whole thing here and burn your own cd.

Time for a techno cd

I think it’s just time for some good old techno. Couple of solid bangers. Only this isn’t the strongest of the strong. It good middle road. And it ain’t mixed. For those who aren’t as familiar with techno as us purists are. Here’s a sample of tracks that I believe stand on there own. Stuff you can really listen to all the way through. They give you a real sense of what techno is and how tracks are constructed and made. And you can listen to them without a club or mix context. Not all techno tracks can stand on their own, but I believe that these can. They all touch “inside my mental landscape” for me. I can easily get “lost” in anyone of these tracks. See if you can too…

Single and President of USA?

If the nation elected a single man, meaning not married, to the office of the President, then would he have the work ethic of those business execs who works all the time including weekends? That way when summer rolled around and he didn’t take any vacation, the media and pundits would have to find something else to complain about.

What if…

UPDATE:
Was alerted to a movie that has somewhat already taken this premise: The American President. (hat tip to @daspolitics)
