Lady
As usual, here is a recording of E-Trash's first set on the last Riot Bootique, on the night of March 28 at Root Cellar Lounge. This was the night's first set; starting slow and mellow up to a party that left everybody dancing all night long afterwards. Huge night for DJ Angst and E-Trash. Podcast and tracklist at Lady on E-Trash's site (Username: apollo, Password: feelingfree).

Sydney Brenner on the state of academia
Some gems:
"The thing is to have no discipline at all. Biology got its main success by the importation of physicists that came into the field not knowing any biology and I think today that’s very important."
"Today the Americans have developed a new culture in science based on the slavery of graduate students. Now graduate students of American institutions are afraid. He just performs. He’s got to perform. The post-doc is an indentured labourer. We now have labs that don’t work in the same way as the early labs where people were independent, where they could have their own ideas and could pursue them."
"The most important thing today is for young people to take responsibility, to actually know how to formulate an idea and how to work on it. Not to buy into the so-called apprenticeship. I think you can only foster that by having sort of deviant studies. That is, you go on and do something really different."
"I think peer review is hindering science. In fact, I think it has become a completely corrupt system."
