update
Two successful trips to work with Andy @ Bricktop Recording over the past two weeks have resulted in a complete version of my remix for “Speechless” by Art Bleek, forthcoming on Turbulent Calm Recordings. I highly recommend Andy for both his knowledge and execution, and I’m happy to be working with him now before he’s booked to the gills.

LWE Podcast 23: Aki Latvamäki

I had a lot of fun putting this interview together. Aki is an incredibly thoughtful guy in addition to being a unique and brilliant artist. Latvamäki’s words, as well as the mix of unreleased/forthcoming material he put together for the site, are well worth your time.

Instances of sylvan fastness
A query posted to a social forum1 I participate in about the potential merits and relative dangers of living in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago resulted in a response that included a link to Cecil Adams’ excellent Straight Dope column on the Chicago Reader website.
Cecil’s response to a similar scenario, detailed here, includes the following nifty turn of phrase2:
In 2007, the latest year for which detailed statistics are available, index crime in the 24th police district, which includes Rogers Park, was roughly half what it had been in 1996, and fell faster than for the city overall. It ought to be conceded that the 24th district also includes West Ridge, which to hear some tell it is a sylvan fastness with no crime to speak of, possibly distorting the numbers.
That striking combination of terms, “sylvan fastness,” set me on a quick hunt to define the words and seek out other instances from the Web.
