"The infamous disturbing scene from the 1985 claymation film The Adventures of Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger. This scene is based on the unfinished novella The Mysterious Stranger, written of course by Mark Twain, who died before completion. Banned from many television stations."

BBC Four - Synth Brittania 2009
Documentary following a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage.
In the late 1970s, small pockets of electronic artists including the Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire were inspired by Kraftwerk and JG Ballard and dreamt of the sound of the future against the backdrop of bleak, high-rise Britain.
The crossover moment came in 1979 when Gary Numan's appearance on Top of the Pops with Tubeway Army's Are Friends Electric heralded the arrival of synthpop. Four lads from Basildon known as Depeche Mode would come to own the new sound whilst post-punk bands like Ultravox, Soft Cell, OMD and Yazoo took the synth out of the pages of the NME and onto the front page of Smash Hits.
By 1983, acts like Pet Shop Boys and New Order were showing that the future of electronic music would lie in dance music.
Contributors include Philip Oakey, Vince Clarke, Martin Gore, Bernard Sumner, Gary Numan and Neil Tennant.

Uranius - The Arrival
Unarius is a non-profit organization founded in 1954 in Los Angeles, California and headquartered in El Cajon, California. The organization purports to advance a new interdimensional science of life based upon fourth dimensional physics principles. Unarius centers exist in Canada, Japan, Nigeria and in various locations in the United States. Membership is unknown.
Unarius is an acronym for Universal Articulate Interdimensional Understanding of Science. The founder, and subsequent "channels" and "sub-channels", have written books filled with channeled dissertations from alleged advanced intelligent beings that exist on higher frequency planes. Over 100 volumes have been published since 1954.

Northern Soul - This England - 1977
Wigan Casino
Wigan Casino was the name of the last incarnation of a Wigan ballroom called the Empress. Local DJ Russ Winstanley and Wigan Casino manager Mike Walker approached lease owner Gerry Marshall to run all-nighters there. Walker brought Winstanley who had a DJ set at the local rugby club to the Casino Club. At 2am in the early hours of Sunday, 23rd September 1973, Wigan Casino opened its doors for its first ever Northern Soul all-nighter, with Winstanley as the DJ. Many famous soul performers performed there, including Jackie Wilson, Edwin Starr and Junior Walker.
Young people from all over the UK regularly made the trek to Wigan Casino to hear the latest Northern Soull artists and to dance. Queues to get in were sometimes five or six people deep, and stretched quite a way up the road. The second dance floor, called Mr. M's, stayed open until 6am and played oldies songs from a variety of DJs. Every all-nighter traditionally ended with three songs that became known as the 3 before 8: "Time Will Pass You By" by Tobi Legend, "Long After Tonight Is Over" byJimmy Radcliffe, and "I'm On My Way" by Dean Parrish. Parrish is still active on the northern soul circuit. Over Four Million people attended the Soul Sessions which also had early sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Wigan Council owned the building and wanted to extend the nearby Civic Centre, but due to running out of cash,it never went ahead. The Club was closed 6th December 1981; that final night of Wigan Casino in its northern soul state was DJ'd by Winstanley, and the 3 before 8 were played three times consecutively at the end of the night. The crowd refused to leave, so according to Winstanley, to "break this spell of hysteria" he picked a 7" at random from his box and played that. This final Wigan Casino song became one of the most famous northern soul songs of all time ,Frank Wilson's"Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)". Annual reunions are held in Wigan and hosted by the original DJs.
The site, as of 2009, is occupied by the Grand Arcade shopping centre, which pays homage to the site with it's Casino Café copying much of this article on it's website.

Broadcasting thought of you(s) and must-listens. From the dungeon to blacked out
nights. Reaching the deepest bins and darkest corners of the internet we bring you
the end of a year.
Disappointments and Things:
The very weak, non-legally binding, agreement reached at the UN Climate Change Conference in Durban South Africa this month. It looks like it’s going to get HOT. And specifically, Todd Stern, the U.S. special envoy for climate change, for obstructing negotiations for the UN to reach any real, legally binding resolution to the global warming crisis. If Todd Stern is one of the biggest disappointments of the year then Abigail Borah, a student from Middlebury College, deserves special props for interrupting Stern’s empty words at the conference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yncq4dwBhEc
Also, humanity is a big disappointment for reaching 7 billion+ people this year. So overpopulation is not only causing the planet to heat up through greenhouse gas emissions, but we're also causing the decline and extinction of many species, e.g., Western Black Rhinoceros (R.I.P. 2011), at the most rapid rate ever. The people at the Center for Biological Diversity, however, deserve special props for their FREE endangered species condoms and helping to start a discussion about overpopulation. There's no point in reducing your carbon footprint if you keep making new feet.

01 NICK LOWE, “THE OLD MAGIC” - In some of the most tweetable lyrics ever written, Nick Lowe calls out to the young from his perch on the far side of middle age. Here Lowe recounts all manner of romantic turmoil with the knowledge, skill, and detachment of a great novelist. From the driver picking up “Stoplight Roses” in a last vain crack at smoothing over his latest (and most regrettable) mistake, to the couple selling off the drafty, dusty house that’s no longer quite like a home, Lowe puts his characters (lovers, all) into pitiable positions and does little to untangle their lives by the moment the last note of each song sounds. This is a sublimely crafted studio album, full of schmaltz and reverb on even the most intimate tunes. Just my opinion and all, but I believe Nick Lowe is a singer/songwriter at the height of his powers - and, yeah, this is the same guy who wrote one of the single greatest songs of all time, “(What’s So Funny About) Peace, Love, and Understanding?” If you missed this one, get it.
LISTEN IF: You’ve ever loved.
02 BELONG, “COMMON ERA” - Every year I get annoyed by one Pitchfork review, and this year it was the Pitchfork review for Common Era. I won’t say anything more about that. What I will say is that this one album is essentially the common denominator for everything I’ve ever found “cool,” from the grainy, monochrome collage of the artwork to the gauzy, industrially inspired something-gaze of the music. It sounds like the ghost of everything that was once cool and I could not name another album better suited to night drives in the middle of anywhere.
LISTEN IF: You spend a lot of time on the road at night; like Chloe Sevigny and Albert Brooks, you were cool before tumblr.
03 GILLIAN WELCH, “THE HARROW & THE HARVEST” - I don’t know what caused it but for at least half the past year I was on a search for analogue music played by humans on instruments requiring little-to-none synthesis or amplification. I remember first hearing Gillian Welch and her co-conspirator, David Rawlings, play songs from this album on some NPR show, which means you can probably stop reading here because, seriously, who other than your grandparents get their music tips from NPR? Anyway, I was sitting there with an acoustic guitar trying to figure out what Rawlings was playing but since I’m a terrible guitarist I just gave up and listened, instead, and what I heard was enough to convince me I needed to hear more. Welch and Rawlings harmonize in practically every moment on this album, from their voices to their fretwork, and this music is a sweet respite from the maximalist dick-waving and histrionics present in just about every other aspect of music this year.
LISTEN IF: You have a porch.
04 PATTON OSWALT, “ZOMBIE SPACESHIP WASTELAND” - My first ever audio-book. I truly am aging prematurely into indifference, aren’t I? Oswalt’s tales of nerdery, comedy, and, in at least one case, tragedy, were the soundtrack to a tense drive through the stretch of outlaw Mormon country surrounding I-15 from Las Vegas into Utah. My girlfriend and I were at odds over the fact that she wanted to go even deeper into the Mormon Fundamentalist outback and I, with my eye on the clock and the horizon, wanted nothing more than to get through that most vast expanse of red nothing within at least an hour of sundown - night drives were taking their toll on my nerves and peace of mind. So we drove in silence listening to Classic American Gasbag*, Patton Oswalt, recount his rise to the top of his tiny slice of show-biz and tell what it takes to stick at the top of one’s tiny slice of show-biz success rather than slide off the Mountain of Prosperity & Good Fortune into the Valley of Irrelevance (if I recall correctly it went something like this: patience, virtue - by way of not acting like an asshole - hard work, and dumb luck). By the time it was all over, we were ready to talk again. Thanks, Patton!
LISTEN IF: You’re a Wastelander; you didn’t need to look for the *
05 VALVE, “PORTAL 2” - It’s a puzzle game with a compelling narrative and breathtaking scenery chock full of retro futurist art. Sold! Valve are notoriously great at creating landscapes so grand in scale they can induce agoraphobia in all but the most callous of gamers, and that knack is in full effect on this one. I only wish it were twice as long and that Stephen Merchant could have had even more dialogue.
PLAY IF: You game hard.
06a MOVE D, “YOUR PERSONAL HEALER (HYDRAULIC GUITAR BY JUJU)” - One of those blissed out tunes you’ll never quite shake from your body’s core - you’ll be looking this up on whatever takes the place of YouTube every four months for the rest of your life.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDQ7QB7-ZMo
06b DISCO NIHILIST, “COFFEE AND A WORN PAPERBACK” - Nice EP by the Disco Nihilist for Running Back with some of the classiest song titles and loudest drum samples around. Dig this or die boring.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1A6dxer-sU
06c TODD TERJE, “RAGYSH” - Pretty sure this is my favorite dance record of the year and I don’t think I ever played it any of my sparsely attended DJ nights because it’s simply too damn big for any Chicago dive bar to contain. RAGYSH and SNOOZE 4 LOVE are both burners of the highest order. Just listen already!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGvcdr1A0p0
06d RAYKO / EM VEE, “LUMBERJACKS IN HELL 02” - Rayko’s edit of Candi Staton’s “Nights on Broadway” was a track I did, indeed, play out at every opportunity. Low-slung instant-funk with just a touch of embellishment pushing the tune into the outer reaches.
http://youtu.be/NRIVsnKTTgg
06e KZA, “LE TROUBLANT ACID” - Officially released at the very end of 2010, I played this track more than any other both at home (along with silly dance and vocal accompaniment) and out at under-promoted, under-capacity DJ gigs. Merits inclusion just because I don’t think I got my hands on a copy until March.
http://youtu.be/-ht9O-z52Pg
06f PRETTY MUCH EVERY TRACK ON LITTLEWHITEEARBUDS.COM YEAR END LISTS - My dear friend Steve Mizek has been plugging away at this pet project of his for years now and I’m happy to see him continue in his efforts to rate and review practically every dance record that comes his way. He’s gone full time now and I couldn’t be more proud of the dude.
07 A FRIEND GETTING SOBER - My friend, (we’ll call him) Zyzzyx, was in pretty bad shape for about a year. He had trouble with drugs and alcohol and I was scared to lose him. I’ve known him for about eight or nine years and I think he’d been struggling with something that whole time. He drove out to California in a shitty red Volkswagen with his sister and got help at a sober living facility in Costa Mesa. We sent he and his housemates Thanksgiving dinner, which is probably the nicest thing I’ve ever done for anyone, which in turn makes me wonder why I haven’t done anything really nice for anyone up until then. We’ve had some excellent long-distance conversations and now he’s got a job and a girl and a life. He writes and makes music and I wish him the best, and I hope to see him again soon.
08 THE DESERT FOR THE FIRST TIME - My girlfriend and I drove from Chicago to Omaha to Fort Collins to Salt Lake City to Reno to San Francisco to Big Sur to Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Moab to Salida to Lincoln and back to Chicago this July. There was snow still on the mountains and the clerk at a museum in Elko, Nevada told us the valleys hadn’t been so green that late in the year for at least a decade or more. What really amazed, even more than crossing the Continental Divide twice or driving “California 1” to the tune of excellent mixes prescribed by Eric Marsh and TK Nicholson, was stepping out of the car at significant elevation somewhere in the Mojave Desert and staring out at a sky full of stars, even on the horizon - you don’t have to look up to see stars, you just see them everywhere, even when looking straight out ahead of you. It’s amazing that everything exists.
09 LOUIS CK WITH JAKE JOHANNSEN, RICHARD LEWIS, AND STEVEN WRIGHT AT THE CHICAGO THEATER // MARC MARON AT THE MAYNE STAGE - I bought two tickets to see Louis CK with “SPECIAL GUESTS” at the Chicago Theater this spring and had no idea the “SPECIAL GUESTS” would be comedy gods. If I had to pick a favorite it’d be Richard Lewis, who took the stage and immediately launched into a whirlwind of anxious rambling, mentioning at least twice how much money he was being paid per minute to be there and shitting on the crowd at a recent show in Miami. // MARC MARON AT THE MAYNE STAGE was, incredibly, the better show. As a friend of a friend once said (on the internet), Marc Maron is humanity. I’d add that he’s also got to be one of the funniest people alive.
10. GEORGE SAUNDERS, “PASTORALIA” - I didn’t see hardly any movies at all this year (and there were a lot of great ones! or so I hear!) but I did read dozens of books and in this arbitrary moment in time the only one I can recall is Pastoralia, which was first published ten years ago. Sorry. I have no doubt that if anyone asked me at any other arbitrary moment in time I’d still come up with Pastoralia and just Pastoralia because it left that kind of mark on my brain. Hilariously funny and touching stories about work, family, death, and justice told through a truly distorted lens. Cannot recommend this more strongly without spiraling into “analysis” and nobody wants that.
11. MAKING A MOVIE, WINNING AT FANTASY BASKETBALL, AND DRIVING WEST WITH A LOVELY LADY - Odd-numbered years (or years ending in odd numbers) have been off-putting and weird for some reason ever since I can remember. Pick a year (ending in an odd number) and I’ll tell you a story about how fucked up it was then. That said, I’ve survived this one carried along by great memories thanks to my friends and my sweet honey babe. Wrong holiday, I know, but I’m thankful.
