Speaking of new things, the boys in the Bastard Jazz Soundsystem -- myself (DJ Sema4), DJ DRM and Paul Diggs -- have recently launched a new radio show on BrooklynRadio.net, one of the best online radio stations in this, or any other borough across the globe.

I know I'm shamefully late to the Web 2.0 party (especially considering what i do for a living) but you can now follow Scissorkick on Facebook. I will be updating the page there with news of new podcasts, special posts and  events.

Warp recording artist and techno/electro wunderkind Jimmy Edgar will headline the night with support from recent BK transplant Eliot Lipp and Boston's Matters & Dunaway, who will be playing the party for the third straight year. Maniacs!

Back in the early days of Scissorkick, we posted a short video showing the guitar/beatbox/singing exploits of our friend Mike B, The Invisible Man.

Last Wednesday, at Webster Hall, The Cinematic Orchestra added to their reputation as consummate performers with another flawless set of new and old tunes, expertly executed and passionately played.

I am thrilled to announce the second installment of what I hope continues an annual celebration of 21st century music: Scissorsound. Last year, we packed our favorite Brooklyn spot, Studio BPM, as Kudu, 33Hz and Matters & Dunaway absolutely killed it on stage

For music lovers, we often can pinpoint a particular person or moment that set off the chain of events leading to obsession. One such point in my life was a semester overseas in '96 to London, where I met some equally insane maniacs who also loved weed, beer and music as much as I.

The same spot, the same ugly faces behind the deck, and the same eclectic mix of old, new and unreleased tunes.
