Not Too Late To Change The Name

State of the Union remix. Referenced in a talk I attended last night by Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid. He said he started the DJ Spooky persona by passing out stickers that said "Who is DJ Spooky?" just to see how many people would talk about "him" or "his" music -- sadly, the first thing I thought was "viral marketing." Shoot me. 'Course a better term for that is "meme." Speaking of memes, one of Paul Miller's friends Shepard Fairey, the guy responsible for Andre the giant has a posse. I should mention that I saw one of those stickers on my second day in Hamburg, on a lamp post right outside the bizarro executive hotel/apartment where I lived for the first month. "Surreal" does not begin to cover it...but then, does it ever?

Babble. Babble babble babble, procrastinate, babble. Procrastinate. Repeat.
