The Sons of Gumby

May 25th, 2010 · Comments Off on The Sons of Gumby

Our beloved WEFUNK just celebrated its 600th show in grand fashion, with sets dedicated to late ā€™60s soul, Clinton-era hip-hop, and the fine art of locking . Given the showā€™s Montreal base, they also couldnā€™t help but throw some north-of-the-border rap into the mix, including the gem above from DJ Format (whose British by birth) and two of his Canadian sidekicks. The …

“This Rhyme Flow Take Practice Like Tae Bo”

September 14th, 2009 · Comments Off on “This Rhyme Flow Take Practice Like Tae Bo”

The ultra-celebrated Ta-Nehisi Coates has lent us plenty of support over the years, so weā€™d like to return the favor by calling attention to his latest conquest: the vaunted pages of The New Yorker , where his killer MF Doom profile just debuted. Though to call it a mere profile is a disserviceā€”itā€™s also a meditation on the essence of hip-hop and, more fundamentally, …

The Gulag-Free Archipelago

December 1st, 2009 · 4 Comments

Upon being presented with the map above, the first question that pops to most minds is, ā€œWhy is the incarceration rate in the United States so absurdly high?ā€ But given our proclivity for the esoteric, we now find ourselves wondering, ā€œWhy is the incarceration rate in Indonesia so darn low?ā€

There is certainly no single, all-encompassing answer to that head-scratcher. Thereā€™s …

The greatest to ever do it

I have a heavy writing day ahead: Iā€™m having serious problems with a transition in my lede, and experience has taught me that ironing things out will take a good eight hours. So Iā€™m shirking my Microkhan duties for the day and just tossing up some rare footage of the greatest squash player to ever walk the Earth. …

Flipping the Perspective

https://www.youtube.com/embed/OqFOUioAz6k

Whenever Iā€™m stuck on a writing projectā€”an all-too-frequent occurrenceā€”I usually try to find my way forward by contemplating a single question: How can I shift what Iā€™m trying to say without reaching for cliches? Because a lot of the time, the reason Iā€™m banging my head against the wall is because Iā€™m taking an approach to the …

Twelve Years On

May 14th, 2024 · Comments Off on Twelve Years On

A few weeks ago, after a lengthy writing session, I switched my phone off Work mode and noticed that I had a voicemail from an unknown number with a Los Angeles area code. Iā€™ve been noodling with a couple of long-term projects connected to the city of my birth, so I figured it was a callback about one of those ventures. But the message could not have been more unexpected, nor more …

Recommended: The Prepared

October 12th, 2022 · Comments Off on Recommended: The Prepared

Like most folks who spend too much time on The Tubes, Iā€™m signed up for dozens of newsletters that I rarely, if ever, crack open. But I never do a thoughtless delete of The Prepared , a weekly publication about the nitty-gritty of how complex and gargantuan objects get made. Though a fair chunk of each email isnā€™t germane to meā€”I wish I was smart enough to take advantage of their …

Vanishing Act

September 23rd, 2022 · Comments Off on Vanishing Act

As someone whoā€™s occasionally been tempted to retreat from the professional life Iā€™ve built, Iā€™m pretty curious about whatā€™s happened with the director Martin Brest. He went from churning out a solid-to-great film every few years, including one of my all-time favorites , to being a non-entity in the movie business: Nearly two decades have elapsed since his last gig. The easy …

Most Notorious Spot

September 21st, 2022 · Comments Off on Most Notorious Spot

Though this probably doesnā€™t bode well for the future of Microkhan, Iā€™ve decided to take it easy with the writing today. Itā€™s the annual anniversary of my arrival on this hunk of nickel, iron, and what-have-you, and Iā€™m celebrating by stealing a few hours to sketch out my plans for the next 365 days. (There may also be some barbecue and alcohol in my immediate future.) So no real post …

The Art of Experimental Design

October 6th, 2022 · Comments Off on The Art of Experimental Design

The title of todayā€™s post could easily be yesterdayā€™s: ā€œCommitment to the Bit.ā€ Because what I find most fascinating about the field of hitchhiker studies is the effort that its practitioners pour into gathering data. I donā€™t know many social scientists who would throw themselves into their work quite like the authors of ā€œWHO PICKS UP WHOM: The Fleeting Encounter Between …

The Bard of Svengalis

October 11th, 2022 · Comments Off on The Bard of Svengalis

When you pick through the work of accomplished nonfiction writers, youā€™ll usually find that they keep exploring the same general theme through multiple projects. In the case of Randall Sullivan, that theme can be neatly summarized as, ā€œCharismatic individuals whose delusions of grandeur exert a strong gravitational pull on people in search of meaning.ā€ Itā€™s most evident in his first and …

The Reason That I’m Here

January 19th, 2024 · Comments Off on The Reason That I’m Here

Iā€™m generally against nostalgia, since I think itā€™s obvious charms can insidiously blot out our ability to live in the moment. But Iā€™ll confess to being overwhelmed with sadness upon learning a few minutes ago that Sports Illustrated has essentially been swept into the dustbin of history . As Iā€™ve discussed on this here site several times , my SI subscription made me fall …

Treasure Troves

September 22nd, 2022 · Comments Off on Treasure Troves

As someone whoā€™s chosen to write for free on WordPress for a presumable audience of none, Iā€™ve developed a soft spot for age-worn media platforms that are still chugging along. If I so desired, I could make Microkhan nothing but a series of valentines to still-updated BlogSpot sites that chronicle 1950s postcards or models of cement mixers.

Iā€™ll spare you that deluge of esoterica, …

The Big Sleep

November 28th, 2022 · Comments Off on The Big Sleep

The illustration above should give you some sense of how I spent my summer: Learning everything I possibly could about the current state of hibernation research, the unheralded key to getting our species to Mars and beyond. I did so in order to write this new Wired story , which came out on Thanksgiving morning. The pieceā€™s narrative throughline is about an Alaskan researcher …
