it were a tour de force type thing

last night i found myself watching possibly the most surreal and absurb televisual experience i have seen

'this week' is normally a not to bad political programme, goes quite well with my strange sleep patern and passing interesting in politics, normally its not much to blog about however yesterday it most certainly was

Andrew Neil, the normal presenter was away, exciting i hear you cry....


So normal guest portillo was joined by janet street porter, plenty entertaining to start with.

then they upped the ante, well when discusing the banning of smoking in public places in Ireland which insightful, amusing and most of all astute special guest could they secure

Shane MacGowan who'd come straight from a show, so was a little inebriated


hilarity ensued...

nothing stranger than drifting off to sleep to janet street porter make a pigs ear of reading autocue questions to a incomprehensible MacGowan who had to be diciphered by portillo

Oh and Martin Mardell dressed in a pink jockeys outfit on a rocking horse.....

in other news:


wish i'd done a good april fools like newflux or suprnova with their japeenese satalite scam had me for a bit that one....


also a little latin for you:

Nil disputandum de gustibus - No disputing about tastes

Mihi ignosce. Cum homine de cane debeo congredi - Excuse me. I've got to see a man about a dog

Visne saltare? Viam Latam Fungosam scio - Do you want to dance? I know the Funky Broadway

hmmm dogstab song in latin?

searching for the thread

been listening to buck 65 - square today wanted to bring you some of the great lyrics from it but search high and low on google i couldnt find any to cut and paste, so if there's any buck fans out there who fancy transcribing the album for me fell free



stylus magazine is starting to become my new favourist online music source, i dunno how much longer i can handle nme.com's one of libertines opens new milk bottle stories

if you have means of acquitring random music legally i thoroughly recommend you use that to download the chi-lites - are you my woman - which is offcourse the horns from crazy in love in their original setting, not sure if i like the track yet but without a doubt its an interesting listen

in answer to my question from my last post; is it ok to like lcd soundsystem? well following a discussion thing on my new bible i feel there's no shame in it...


also for those who haven't procured an digital version of skinner esq. latest and possible greatest you might want to look here also a wealth of bootleg type madness

new favourite site

till i couldnt get the songs to download :(

check popshots for an interesting hypocrisy insight thingy, i'll explain basically korn's new video is all about multi-media conglomeration and anti big major labels despite being signed to sony so clicky the link for a more coherent deconstruction and explanation of what idiots korn seem to be and the ever lovable mister stern

better late than ever

blimey so go the great intentions of updating daily


still inspired by easy broadband access and a slew of amazing blogs providing my daily web reading, feel the great urge to do my little bit of a copy cat, there's that saying about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, that's what I'm gonna keep telling myself anyway

quick run down on a not hugely eventful day in the world of me

~taking full of advantage of my late move into bitorent, of course i'm only downloading copyright free stuff

~really liking the hustle on the beeb, shame its the last one really, might have to get the dvd, sad and shameful as it might seem

~digging some fine german pop, Wir sind Helden: par exemple especially recommended comes their track auriele which bares more than a passing resemblance to a certain urban poet whose name might or might rhyme with dyke swimmer

~dolly parton 9 to 5, i'm not gay or owt but quality track, might make a few appearances when i making those summer mix tape or two

~am i the only one expecting a daphne and celeste renaisence sometime soon... i've not joined their fanclub but in case you fancy it

~and a thought to leave you with LCD soundsystem unacceptable hipster-ism or admirable double-irony-type-stuff?

time to go home

finally presented my animation project

leaving me some free time to lay cm4

and read about grime (http://skykicking.tripod.com)
whilst listening to a so-cal ska supergroup

blimey arent i eclectic
that or have no real sense of taste

think its time to get my hair cut

Monday, March 8

oooohhhh i hate flash

with the deadline for my animation nearing i have been pulling out hair left right and centre
still looks like its done
its hardly finding nemo...
but i'm far from the most artistic when it comes to drawing and the like

been a hectic few days since last post
seems like a new house is needed for next year in brighton
and some new housemates

still seems like might not be end of the world
looking forward to the possibility of some housemates who can inspire and maybe collabarate with me on stuff
which would be pretty cool

laterly i have been loving the music provided by www.newflux.blogspot.com
well worthy of daily checks, makes me wish i had sodding broadband

home sweet home

a quick drive through the backwaters of sussex and surrey and i'm home
where hot water is plentiful, the fridge is never empty and i can have milk in my tea without fear of disentry...

all is good, so a few quiet days at home to ctahc up on some reading and to listen to xfm,

it really seems an extravagence to buy a dab radio so i can listen in brighton, but each time i hear the station it gets harder and harder not to buy one

at the moment thinking of going for a alarm clock dab thingymajig, the reasoning behind this is that at least then i can justify to myself buying one, even though it would prob be one of the most expensive alarms clocks about

anyhow rather cheerful today cause a few kind people have expressed an interest in maybe some experience

of course nothing concrete as yet, but nothing better than an email saying 'tell us about yourself' especial if you're as vain as me.....

blimey

i have been a bit lax havent i

this sites been up a while and i not really been making use of it
well after a plethora (or however its spelt) of personal shit its about time got my life in order right?

well a quick update on wahsts going on in kelvin-ville

about to knock up an article for uni paper about my star studded visit to the nme awards aftershow, where me one or two celebs and all the other music industry liggers of note qued for hours for bottle of carling, i mean really carling is bad enough but bottles
its just a bit of a joke


my flash animation course is starting to get pretty heavy, its getting to the moment of truth whether my own dreams of a brass eye style animations with gary glitter as a peado/fairytale bad guy is worth the possibility of a examiner backlash, i just don't have that true revoluntary spirit do i?

still the dj-ing is going well had a few weeks off, but can't wait to get back and it means the kids might have caught up enough to let me play NERD now....

bless them i love the way they go mental just sometimes i wish they'd be a bit more open minded still c'est la vie as someone french once said

k
