In the polarized partisan context of US politics, what does "innovation" signify? Or "power to share"? Or "connected"?

Probably not what we think those words mean. 

(Dear The Radio: please post transcripts. Even misspelled bot-produced ones. Or outlines. Anything visual I can follow, so it doesn't take an hour to listen to a 15 minute interview. Ditto DE profs who may one day consider podcasting lectures.)

That's a great listen; thanks for the tip.

The idea to augment podcasts with visual cues is a good one too. Mixcloud asks you to timestamp a mix after you upload it, so a listener can see the full playlist or even skip back and forth between tracks. Something like that timestamping is worth considering for podcasts, though I think it wouldn't be necessary for podcasts under a certain length (like say under 5-7 minutes).

I have used the timestamps to follow your cloudcasts a couple of times (how much attention I pay depends on what else I have going on, but I do try...). They really are helpful, if not for keeping my attention, then at least for telling me how far to go back when I space out. With a lecture, you could totally timestamp a 7-minute podcast. You can say a lot in 7 minutes. </derail>

Very evil, Facebook.

Oh, Žižek, you sly dog...

From time to time, usually late at night when I should be sleeping, I get sucked into a Zizek black hole vis-a-vis the seemingly endless trail of clips such as these on You Tube. 

Thanks for the vocabulary lesson (eponymous - had to look that up).

I'll trade you an eponymous album for an eponymous compilation. (This one's on my desert island list.)

As for the particular basslines behind all this, you can sample them in some of my DJ sets at http://www.mixcloud.com/sonicfiction/uploads/ (esp. the "Gothos bassline" and "Guest mix" sets). Set your subwoofer at 11.

Talk about steep learning curves. I think I am rather out of my depth, not even having a subwoofer except on the TV.

BUT HEY, my nephew, Luke McKeehan is Nordic Trax. Is this in the same ball game?
