		<title>Career Randomness–Jazz Division</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My recent week-long vacation included a lot of driving from one place to another. It gave me a lot of in-car listening time, which I used to middling ends. I listened a lot to the Sirius/XM jazz channel, the definition of middling. It is, for the most part, a 24-hour mix of hard bop by [...]]]></description>

		<title>If I Give You a Penny You Give Me a Pair of Scissors?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A video/audio mashup featuring Marcel Duchamp’s 1926 short film, Anemic Cinema, and a looped portion of Winsor McCay’s animated How a Mosquito Operates from 1912. The soundtrack is an audio collage, assembled, composed and manipulated in in real time by me, mostly using Audiomulch.]]></description>

		<title>What I’m Doing on my Summer Vacation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the handful of people whose minds work in the same weird way as mine, I present my soundtrack to Symphonie Diagonale, an experimental animated film from 1924 by the Swiss artist Viking Eggeling, animated by Erna Niemeyer. (Anyone know where i can find a copy of Worker and Parasite?)]]></description>

		<title>Fantasmagorie by Émile Cohl (music by Bix and me)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In search of ancient films for which I might adapt my electronic-oriented composition, I discovered this early gem. Made in 1908 by the French caricaturist Émile Cohl, this is considered the first all-animated film ever made. In the 1880s, Cohl was a member of a group called Les Arts Incohérents, which was apparently a short-lived, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Write Like–Jazz Critic Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife told me about a Web site the other day called I Write Like, which analyzes a sample of your writing and tells you what famous author’s your work most resembles. Of course it’s ridiculous, but it’s also a bit of a hoot. I plugged-in some of my own writing. I got what I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Rough Ride for Calgary Jazz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last-minute cancellation of this year’s Calgary Jazz Festival bears at least some resemblance to the implosion by the International Association of Jazz Educators a couple of years back. Like IAJE, Calgary apparently got too big for its financial britches. I’m no expert on Canadian (or any other kind of) law, but it seems to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bill Dixon, 1925–2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Word of Bill Dixon’s death came yesterday, and while it was far from happy news, his passing wasn’t untimely—Mr. Dixon was 84, an age when continued life is basically a flip of the genetic coin. It would’ve been far sadder if he’d died prior to 1980, in which case he would have never realized what [...]]]></description>
