Welcome back, I've taken a few days off being as I've been ill lately, trying to avoid paralysis. Below we have a remix for Wiz Khalifa's "Black & Yellow", which
I snabbed this from 2DopeBoyz, and wouldn't you know it, they were nice enough to provide a download for the song (good luck finding it on their site). Go here for the mp3. Hit "play" here for a couple MF Grimm tracks you might wish you had from "The Hunt For The Gingerbread Man"
We've also got a couple reminders for all those at home here in the valley.
Tonight, at the Woodshed, we have Dave & The Death Machine, featuring Whitney Blayne.
In The Venue, $5 presale, $10 door; This is the CD release party for Mixmaster Dapper whose "While You Were DJing" drops next Tuesday. Oh yes, get ready for the never to be released mix.
Sorry to knock Self-Scientific down a spot, but I just heard this new producer, Baby Bull. Not every track on here is perfect, but some of these belie a real love of production. You'll hear Detroit house & soul over broken beats, some boom bap sound mixed with spooky low-end electronica, and more. Damn, I wish I had this sound, haha.
These guys are going to be killing the MPC even harder one day.
No time today, like the White Rabbit, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. Click through the image to get an untracked version of Self-Scientific's Changes.
If you haven't heard Chace Infinite and DJ Khalil team up before, this album will get you noddin' along before they bust out the best for last. Apologies for encoding errors if you hear them. Pants.
Alright, so above is a Skellam distribution. It's like a Gaussian distribution, except instead of being the probability for a single random variable X, it's the probability of the difference of two Poisson variables, X-Y.
Poisson variables are ones that occur at random intervals, but with an overall time average, like nuclear radiation. This average is the mean of the distribution and completely determines the probability distribution.
So say you had some radioactive materials, and they're hooked up to a balance such that if the second material becomes 5 grams lighter than the first material a button will be pressed that ignites a nuclear bomb fueled by both materials. Damn. Stakes are high. Do you have anything to worry about?
Skellam distribution.
Put in the half-lives (means) for the materials and check out the probability for A-B > 5. If I had more time and skill I'd put a widget up here specifically so you could check these kinds of every day things. As it stands, we'll just use this for sports betting and odds-making.
In this case the random event is a point being scored. The 'materials' are the opposing teams, the 'half-lives' are the average goals per unit each team scores, and the 'nuclear explosion' is your bank account blowing up. (Well, not really, since the bookmakers use this method and extensions of it, and then go ahead and artificially set the odds so they add up to over 100% chance for either team winning, and arbitrage the situation to ensure they profit no matter the outcome, much like a hedge fund but arbitrage-ier.)
Hit me up if you're in school now and can get *this* article. I don't want to have to park at or bus to the University. **********************************************************************
Now that there above tired me the fuck out. So I'll just leave you with another soulful funk mix, this time by the great Mogpaws over at Invisible Friends. Hit play below, or go directly to their site.
And something new to wrap things up. This is a sneak peak of one of our own here in the valley. Phil Maggio dropping a couple dimes from his new EP, due out in March, produced by Grounded1 of n1nthCloud.
Or just drop through the link back and say hi to Drasar Monumental.
Tune in tonight at 8pm in LA, 11pm in NYC, 2am in Rio, 4am in London, and 7am in St. Petersburg. Mighty Mystic will be stopping by to lay down some new sound for all the world's ears.
