Sorry, no proper update today because I've been writing my next Wired column. It's about how Apple makes me cry... with joy, of course, even when they're announcing their version of gadgets I've already declared the spawn of Satan. I don't say I'll actually relent and buy a cell phone now, but I'm inclined to say that one reason I had to hate the things was simply that Apple hadn't made one yet, and therefore there just wasn't one inspiring enough to splash out on.

Anyway, imagine you're holding your iPhone now (rather than June, or whenever it's released near you). What mp3 will you play on it? Why, this one, of course. Jona Bechtolt's France Culture show featuring friends of Blow.

01 Lucky Dragons - "Martha's Work" (previously unreleased)
02 The World Court - "Animal Oracle" (YACHT premix; previously unreleased)
03 Dear Nora - "Defeated and Lonely"
04 Kixly - "Heart Sparks" (previously unreleased)
05 The Blow - "Baby" (Jab Micha Och Elle remix; previously unreleased)
06 Adrian Orange - "No More Wild"
07 Tussle - "Second Guessing" (YACHT remix; previously unreleased)
08 High Places - "Head Spins" (previously unreleased)
09 White Rainbow - "nov6number1MIDDLE" (previously unreleased)
10 YACHT - "See a Penny" (premix; previously unreleased)
11 Pash - "Once Made" (previously unreleased)
12 Panther - "Tiger's Touch" (previously unreleased)

Hey Momus~

I was digging your blog, and the props to Jona and Khaela, when I noticed that there's a big dispute over Khaela's Wikipedia entry. Check it out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Khaela_Maricich.

This pisses me off, because I played a show with Jona a while back and he was super nice, and I think that they're really doing neat music.

Keep up the awesome posts.

The fact that someone has cited their mention in this blog as evidence of their mainstream relevance is incredibly hilarious.

Does anybody know what the story is behind Jona not showing at their last Portland show? I asked him when I ran into him later but he didn't say much.
