All 5.5 hours of my Friday-night set on board the Nautilus X at this year's Burning Man are online in four parts. (Part 4 will be up the afternoon of Oct. 3.) You can download them directly from my website , or go to iTunes music podcasts and search under Groovelectric . Mad props to Nemo and the cr...

Trishya-- I'll be spinning what I call New Old Funk (house & tech house with a nasty old funky sound a la P.Funk/Sly Stone) at The Duck Pond at 9:00 & Plaza on Tuesday from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. [EDITED -- I pimped one of my podcasts but then saw that I already did it in an earlier post. Don't want to spa...

... I'd love to put the recording on http://www.PlayaTunes.com ! If you'd like to have your tunes from BRC out there for all to experience, please get in touch and we'll figure it out! Thanks to all who share their talents on and off the playa! -DWE Hey, DWE, you've got my Duck Pond set from 2007 o...

In case anyone's looking for one of these shade structures, Tuesday Morning has a good deal on them for $80. I just got one.

Thanks to Elorrum for lettiing me know about this thread!

I cant' wait to see Fort Knox Five -- I play them out all the time, & they're amazing. A great funk band. If you're looking for one-hour-plus mixes of house, funky tech house, & prog house, I have about 90 up on my website , or just search iTunes for GROOVELECTRIC. I'll be spinning on the Playa at ...

Well, hell, that works out for you and for me, dunnit?

Oh yeah, have you been opressed by the new agey burners who saw ghosts at the temple burn? Good thing you pushed back at them. Radical position man! Heavy stuff! Maybe you could take your head out of the playa dust for a bit and look at the world around you. This country was attacked by religious n...

Uh who claimed there were no alternatives? I claimed there were no marijuana prescriptions. Then you brought up Marinol then I basically explained that Marinol is bullshit. Are you on drugs? You know those psycs you get from the doctor are far more dangerous than weed. "Never teach a pig to sing. I...

Oh you have too! religious nuts were the assholes of last season, this seasons asshole is the anti-religious nuts. Fanatics seem to suck no matter what their cause, even when I agree with it. Better to dissagree without being dissagreeable. If by "season" you mean the last several thousand years, w...

Now that I come to think of it, I've never been treated condescendingly by a christian. Wow. Really. You've never had a Christian express regret that you aren't Saved? Say he would pray for you? Say he's worried about your soul? Get smug because he knows where he's going to be when the Rapture arri...

Actually, Steveboy, there is ample scientific data to support the arguments about different cannabinoids acting differently, as well as pharmacokinetic differences to support smoked or vaporized cannabis over oral forms for some people. I don't care if you buy the whole war on drugs BS about medica...

You might want to consider going to the LA Decompression on Oct. 4 as well. Info at http://www.la-burningman.org/

Marinol is no where near as effective at treating acute pain as real marijuana I know from personal experience and from conversation with cancer patients. Also a recent study has proven what every real pot head has known for years. That THC is only one chemical that makes up the therapeutic effects...

I think we agree it's bad. Next?

Theres no such thing as a marijuana prescription. Medical marijauna should be recognized in Nevada because the people of Nevada voted for it but it has been denied by the government just like what happened in the District of Colombia. Not really true. Marinol is a prescription drug and is a pharmac...

I'm not saying it should be eliminated because it has the potential to be abused (hell, that'd get rid of pretty much anything). I'm considering the notion that the program itself, however well-intended, goes against the grain of BM's stated aim of "radical self reliance." This would be true even if...

You know, much as I like the spirit of the yellow bike program, EB's point is very well taken. In a sense the program is enabling those who didn't have the sense (or, to be fair, the means) to bring their own transporation to the Playa, and creating opportunities for those who want to devalue the se...

And just because you stampede toward the supernatural doesn't mean there aren't a dozen natural explanations you discarded in your haste to validate a pathetic smorgasbord of unsubstantiated belief.

Thanks for listing my gigs! Wanted to make a correction & addition if possible. Thurs. 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM DJ Steve Boyett @ The Duck Pond will be rescheduled due to a conflict. Time will be determined Monday. Wedn. 9:00 PM - 2:00 AM+ - DJ Steve Boyett @ Nautilus X art car (MUNI accordion bus, mobil...

Mine are directly downloadable, if not there, then on my website or iTunes.

Sure, a DJ should know how to beatmatch, but that's not what DJing is. A monkey can beatmatch. If you think DJing is all about that, then anyone who can set their treadmill to their music BPM is a DJ. I mean, if it was easy, everyone would -- hey, wait, everyone *does* do it. As I mentioned earlier,...

...or you could skip the two records entirely and use pretty much the same application without them. Or are you any less of a DJ if you don't use any kind of vinyl at all?

It is as permissible to wear speedos at Burning Man as it is to point and laugh at them.

Since everyone and his brother will be vying for the major arcana, I'm hoping I won't have a problem showing up with my bike & didgeridoo for the Knight of Wands. It's a card I always draw and that always ends up representing me, for some reason. I've been wanting to do a photo Los Angeles Tarot for...

Thanks so much for linking to my "United by Dust" set! I'll be recording my sets this year as well & will post them (well, if they don't suck :wink: ) as Groovelectric mixes. If you're curious, my BM gig schedule is at http://www.djsteveboy.com/news.html. See ya on the playa! (three more days. God. ...

Many thanks for this!

I've got a guide to playa-proofing a laptop here if you like: http://picasaweb.google.com/djsteveboy/BurnproofALaptop

Wow, it took exactly three posts for someone to start the same old bullshit "laptop DJs aren't really DJs" argument. Let's just treat the subsequent posts as read, shall we, since this argument has been xeroxed all over the net for years now. The guy just asked for some advice and you took the chanc...

I can't speak to the survivability of the timecode vinyl, but you will want to prep the hell out of your laptop. The heat and dust are friggin crazy.
