National Geographic just published an article presenting evidence that “Ancient Maya Temples Were Giant Loudspeakers.”
“Centuries before the first speakers and subwoofers,” writes Ker Than, “ancient Americans—intentionally or not—may have been turning buildings into giant sound amplifiers and distorters to enthrall or disorient audiences, archaeologists say.”
While the jab ‘intentionally or not’ gives me pause (did they accidentally build an underground rave cave with exceptional acoustics?), the thought of ancient Mayas carving out subwoofers in 600 A.D. is very 2012, very tribal guarachero. The temple ruins at Palenque in central Mexico suggests “a kind of ‘unplugged’ public-address system, projecting sound across great distances” — perfect for a post-oil dance party.
This is beautiful, long and dreamy. Hopefully it finds you someplace cool and sweet scented, on vacation preferably. If not, hopefully it will take your mind off the heat. I’ll be out of town next week and am taking off blogging. Thank you for checking in with us as always. Love, Evan

Vuvuzela-EX (R)
Stops the Hum of Bees for free
In nearly every corner of the world people play football today, FIFA
says. The victory of capitalism goes parallel to the structures of
sports. And yes, swarms win and make all faces equal. Anyhow some of
them produce their very own sound in the stadiums. This communistic
expression of life sucks. But vuvuzela.org fails. No democratic
reasoning will help. Fanfares are permanently disturbing the cup.
And as we all know John Cage was wrong. We can’t give back the voice
to the peoples. Vuvuzelas kill!
Vuvuzelas (do not confuse with German Kicker Uwe Seeler) and noisy fan
trumpets are disorganised horns. All in all it’s a bad black false
uproar. They can’t be brought into line. In the name of freedom: This
new apartheid must be stopped!
38317 has developed the perfect tool and instrument against the pest.
