Lisa DePaulo, Yuck

Comments Off on Lisa DePaulo, Yuck

Digby's thoughts on Lisa DePaulo, the TV journalist who smeared politician Gary Condit (as a murderer, no less) and is still attacking his character after he was completely vindicated.

I can't stand to watch TV news so I missed all this firsthand. You couldn't escape the campaign against Condit, though, during the "summer of the shark," before 9/11 gave the media creeps their perfect story and two wars, to boot.

The movie Broadcast News did a good job of explaining how people with no talent other than the ability to look poised before the camera rise to positions of power in the modern world. Unfortunately the movie didn't cure people of relying on TV as the main source of their news.

A pretty straight up house tune, using the Mutator filter on the bass line that runs through the whole thing. Or maybe it's eccentric as heck and only sounds straight up to me. I'm a sucker for pad sounds like this--it's what I always listened for when scouting out DJ-ing vinyl.

More of that damn filter-tremoloed "wobble bass." This is psychedelic and I think pretty fun. Your basic bass attack.

Update: revised by adding a prog blues synth line to perk up the middle section.

Rework of "GoBox Rompbox" - added a more prominent bassline and a second rendition of the main melody that precedes, follows, and plays in unison with the original. Also made it longer and opened it up so some of the percussive bits could be better heard. 80 bpm and proud.
